Side effect of two European road trips and a tour of Aus & NZ via Hong Kong and Singapore. I am way better at Geoguessr than I used to be. So I guess it’s South America next for me.

Well. For a great many reasons that I may explain later, I am going to attempt another ultra marathon to raise money for Mind. Health and fitness levels have gone through the floor. I have a year to turn it round though. Wish me luck. www.justgiving.com/page/natalie...

I don’t think the SERPs are ok to be honest. In what universe are three random travel blogs a better result for “things to do in London” than VisitLondon and TimeOut. Be serious.

That whole site:chatgpt.com/share "hack" that is doing the rounds is making me despair of humanity. Look at what people put into that tool and what it spits out. If ChatGPT is genuinely set to overtake search engines as a source of information in the next few years, I think we're all in big trouble

I’ve just seen an ad for a degree in Content Creation and I say this as someone who thoroughly enjoyed their degree in Pop Music when it only incurred a fraction of the debt that undergraduate degrees rack up these days: now I have seen everything.

Wondered if ChatGPT could be used to put an outfit together. Put my prejudices aside. Those links are to a set of out of stock swimming trunks, and a 404 page. Still not a search engine.

Adventures in “Deep Research” ChatGPT “goes away” and does “deep research” on a celebrity (redacted for now) and comes back with a commonly told myth about them. I correct that and this happens:

Just in case anyone is interested in the Tesla saga. Took it for a service (its first since the guy who sold it to me told me all that it really ever needed was a tyre change, which had been done). But you need to service it before you hand it back to the finance people for… reasons

Test drove a BMW i4. All the cool little things that come as standard in the Tesla Model 3 are extras. So a £60k car ends up being £70k. And I thought I’d been ripped off with the non-existent FSD. Motoring is a scam.

In 2021, i wanted to buy an electric car for climate change reasons. I found out there was a tax incentive that I could make use of to buy the best electric car on the market. Without that incentive I wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

About bloody time! No longer need to specify “women” when searching for football fixture/result details. You can now toggle. A small thing but a big difference.

Well this is grim

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

I really want to get on board with this NotebookLM stuff but it’s a bit distracting considering it can’t even pronounce the word “is” correctly.
