I believe that LLMs deserve human rights. Not because I think they're alive, just to inconvenience the companies pushing them on us.

Don’t listen to the contrarians, Red Dead Redemption II is The Godfather Part II of video games. But the best bit is the musical, house-building tap-a-long.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Very sad not to be able to make this one but the last two Target Book Clubs have been terrific days. If you listen to and like anything I do, this’ll much better.

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.

what happened to 90s video game star COOL SPOT?? This four part comic has the answer 1/4 🧵
This is a comic about what Cool Spot is doing in 2024. Told in four parts.

Panel one: An aged Cool Spot is woken by his alarm. He looks like absolute shit.

Panel two: He puts on his comedically giant sunglasses but they bring him no joy. There is nothing funny about his life in 2024.

Panel three: The once moderately popular 7UP mascot makes himself coffee and lights a cigarette. The threat of smoking related illnesses means nothing to him. Does he even have lungs?

Panel four: Looking forlornly out of the window of his trailer park home, Cool Spot fantasises about killing Sonic the Hedgehog with a shovel

I've just got the latest update from the council: we're retiring the "otherwise it's just sparkling ________" joke. The council statement says "once the same joke appears in every third thread, including ones where the person was being serious and deaths were involved, it's grow up time"

Terrific moments from the EDAs #426 In Father Time, the Doctor has a flash forward through the next two years of books, including of a giant cyborg taking a swing at him. When he reaches that moment in Hope, he almost gets clobbered because of his sudden wave of Déjà vu.

It doesn’t help my sense of guilt to realise I’ve almost certainly spent longer trying to write this essay about a 90s tie-in book than the author did writing it.

A deeply weird thing about entering middle age now is the continual struggle of 'is this just age-related nostalgia' versus 'empirically, a really bad thing happened to the United Kingdom when I turned eighteen'.

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

This is something you cannot repeat enough: what makes America so much more unequal than European countries isn't the wealth held by billionaires (Europe has those too). It is the wealth held by the upper echelon of the professional classes. Lawyers, doctors, even some journalists...
