There are people out there who not only think we should solve music, but think that they have solved music, and we have put these people in charge of our entire world.

For nearly 14 years, you’ve been adding location info to your Uses. We’ve always wanted a visual way to see this data. Rob Meek built it for us. Introducing the Fonts In Use Map: fontsinuse.com/map

Screenshot of a browser at fontsinuse.com/map showing a website titled Fonts In Use and a header, “Map”. Below the head is a world map with many circle and pin icons.

The pin for Kyiv is selected, showing a pop-up with the title, “Kyiv”, and “Has 59 uses”. The most recent use is displayed with the title, “The Civilian Readiness Center”, an image, and a “View” link.

Take away the bubble and we'd call the things AI can do "plug-ins." Some would use them, and others wouldn't, and some uses would be productive, and others would be foolish, but we wouldn't bet the economy on them, nor squander our last dribbles of potable water to cool their data centers. 23/

My latest books cartoon for the @theguardian.com

Panel 1
A repulsive voice rises from a hole in the wilderness
"Remember when books used to be fun? Before the box tickers and bean counters took over?"

Panel 2 to 4
We follow the voice to an cave where an audience watches a fly/demon/monster at a lectern continue "Publishers used to take risks: Books opened portals to hell, drove readers insane, or just moaned in a horrible way! When did you last see a broadsheet review of a book by a mad monk, an evil skeleton or a hobgoblin? My new imprint will challenge the publishing industry's pro-human bias with a ceaseless stream of foul books by malevolent authors."

Panel 5
The fly/demon/monster triumphantly finished
"Also, we'll be doing it entirely with AI!"
The ghouls of the audience shout
"Boo!"
"Shame!"
"Disgraceful!"
