Google reduced our headline “I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to just five words: “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” It almost sounds like we’re endorsing a product we do not recommend at all. Read more from @seanhollister.bsky.social:

Earlier this week Smith and Sniff was sitting at number 129 in the chart of all podcasts. All podcasts. Every single one. And our shite. Considering Gary Lineker's company alone makes about 128 different podcasts, we're quite proud of that. Thank everyone.

I see this is back on iPlayer. My then boss (now retired) David Hay appears in it, and we all contributed lots of images, footage and information. It’s a great programme and, I’m told, one of the most popular episodes of the Timeshift strand.

bbc.co.uk

Timeshift - Series 17: 3. Dial 'B' for Britain: The Story of the Landline

From early call boxes to the Post Office Tower, Timeshift tells the story of how Britain's phone network was built over the course of 100 years, and its impact on the public.

That’s all good and well until you do shift work, knock off 11pm with colleagues and then can’t find anywhere near a well known broadcasters HQ to even get a quiet pint..

Astonishing story of a DAB radio service having its IP transmission stream hijacked by its own streaming vendor to broadcast obscenities instead of the radio output for *30* mins! Seemingly, because of a contract dispute between the vendor & another mux provider! www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

I supported putting a break in the Circle Line at Edgware Road. But they should've changed its name. With the break it's not a circle. It's wrong and it's still not too late to rename it. If they called it the Marigold Line they wouldn't even need to change the colour on the map.

Newsrooms have to develop and test verification technology in a world of deepfakes. It’s sadly needed in this age of potential digital arms races. Ok this is a mundane bridge - I can foresee total recreations of world leaders/trusted faces down the line. Broadcasters need authentication mechanisms.

It’s gone midnight and they are on a nightshift in a news room, I think this is a little unfair given they were verifying.

I think if I was in the McSweeney job I’d still have not put it in the manifesto, but I equally know how unequally a lot of the press uphold manifesto’s dependent upon the party, as well as, well, much else. (I can’t recall if Johnson’s 2019 manifesto made it past 3 pages of A4, v detail light.)

I think to put it simply they’d have been radically better off without that manifesto pledge. Perhaps it was the same 1997 “no complacency” after 1992?
