Sadly coming up on the one year since the last @badvoltage.bsky.social podcast - a fantastic show, and lots of episodes that are worth revisiting even years on.

I always think back to Jamie Lenman in the Reuben documentary of what happens in aldershot stays in aldershot when I make my son a mix of cereals for breakfast.

I'd suggest putting it into a note on your phone and depending on paranoia share the passcode between two people or give to just one. Or just pen and paper and keep in the house, depending on if you think you'll be burgled. Or if iOS then you can follow this: support.apple.com/en-gb/102431

@jamiesmart.bsky.social oh just read on the website you can watch on demand later, awesome, I'll book him on now.

Ryan McDonough @ryanmcdonough.co.uk · 15/11/2025

Just wondering for these, if you sign up can you watch it on demand later on? My son would love this but he'll be watching (his other love) Gladiators live at the same time.

It’s our at home version of a national trust site. You don’t touch it, you just quietly accept it’s been there since 1983 and will outlive us all.

Unfortunately my son's ended up with a sickness bug so if anyone would like a free adult & under 12 ticket to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social #ThoughtBubble #Harrogate for today then ping me a message.

As far as I'm aware, the main providers are storing the data for the time to prove age and then after that time it's removed.

@jamiesmart.bsky.social it was my sons martial arts graduation this morning, he drew monkey on his board to break it as monkey "is always cheeky"

Any Canadian LRW profs out there with a plan for teaching 1Ls how to effectively incorporate LLM tools into case briefing and memo writing? I do a weekly AI zoom “Office Hours” call for Ontario Bar Association members (and others) and would love to have you on as a guest in January. Please DM.

Just published a new blog post exploring “alignment faking” in AI, a phenomenon where models appear to follow new rules while preserving old behaviours. For legal tech, this raises important questions about trust and reliability. How do we ensure our tools are genuinely aligned?

We use a well known legal tech product, backed by a huge company - latest release you hit enter in an auto search box and it literally breaks and redirects to an empty page... I do wonder how these regressions happen in huge providers.
