Google’s AI results in search are: 1) Usually factually inaccurate. 2) Often hallucinations. 3) Annoying. An example of AI for the sake of AI.

I can’t help but think the symptoms here are more related to inattention due to modern day distractions/doomscrolling than noise-cancelling headphones. Even the writer notes that very little is understood of the condition this is being blamed on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Also in The Sunday Times: UK entrepreneur Philip Johnston’s firm Lumen Orbit (based in the US) plans to launch a prototype space-based data centre into orbit in May. If successful, the firm hopes data centres powered by the Sun & cooled by space, costing 0.02 cents per kWh to power, could follow.

Reading about biohacking in The Sunday Times. A gym offering a $10k/month membership will create an AI twin of you, & then an app tells you what to eat & drink, & when to sleep. Members have access to a “float therapy room” which “promises” 45 mins deep sleep. Are we living a Sci-Fi horror movie?

Reading that travel by train from London to Edinburgh will soon be quicker than flying. According to @thetimes.com this is due to upgrades to the East Coast Mainline completed in 2022. Why will it take until nearly 2026 to implement? Arguments between rail operators, it seems. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Customers first?

⚡ #StormBert latest - Electricity network operators have restored power to 325,000 homes so far, after Storm Bert damaged power infrastructure yesterday and today. The storm is forecast to move across England throughout today, with weather warnings and flood alerts remaining in force.
Severe weather disruption. Severe weather is causing power cuts in some areas. If you have a power cut: 
1) Follow powercut105.com for updates
2) Leave one light switch on so you know when power is back on
3) Avoid opening your fridge or freezer more than necessary
4) Check on neighbours, friends and family
5) Keep internal doors closed to keep heat in
6) Listen to your car or battery-operated radio to stay informed

Prepare - Care - Share

Power Cut? Call 105.
