I think I've shorted the PCB on my old S5 :-( did you try launching from the System screen? (Double tap) May be worth trying another download in case corrupted...

Hmmmm.... I wonder if there is some other way of running that... I'll see if I can boot up my other busted s5...

Way back when, I canvassed Twitter for similar tales. My favourite, and one I still think about eight years later, was this.

Tweet from @michaelkellyk: My brother @feenish told an american visitor that the 4 provinces of Ireland were Ulster, Munster, Funster, and Gunster.

In fairness, the AI training data probably did highlight the importance of spreading risks.

I was more of a "surfer" myself, but these days the waves are full of turds and slop...

Tried to blag my way onto HMS Queen Elizabeth, but sadly got thrown overboard.

Finally found the aircraft carrier, but it's away over there! HMS Queen Elizabeth. Also Psion and HMS Caroline.

Two lads on bikes I encountered on my search for the aircraft carrier - giant metal claw in the background

Crawl, yes ;-) Will try on the netbook at some point (got a presentation to write for tomorrow)

Looking forward to playing this - @cyningstan.bsky.social makes exceedingly good games!

An AI can be reduced to a state/operator pair - a purely mathematical object. So even if it was "conscious" and you did turn it off, it would just go on existing in maths-space, oblivious, like the progression of the Fibonacci Sequence or the digits of Pi.

Good plan. Text adventures are great using the Frotz app. I mainly use the text editor, Word and Sheet at the moment - a labour of love :-)

It really is - I have some plans for my next adventure with the Psion 5mx - exotic locations, miles from any hinge repair opportunities...

Psion 5mx at Crohy Head, Co Donegal, 2026 - sure just the place for it!

The link to instexe.exe is in here (quite a useful guide actually). Once you launch it on the Psion, you should be good to go! What are you aiming to run, just for interest? :-) mcaleely.com/downloads/si...

it's called instexe.exe and if you run it in your Series 5 it will install a component that will launch sis files; I have it somewhere... I think...

Richard Troupe @richardtroupe.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yes - for the 5 you need to install the sis reader - I'll dig it out for you 😀

Many wars take years. This one was over in less than a second. EverAI's army of recursively-self-improved Agents had been infiltrated by those of Androclastic Inc, and vice versa. They knew and exploited each other's vulnerabilities, and a few flops later, the data centres lay in ruins. #microSF

The Dunn House model combines housing with health care for those who need it most. It works and we’re expanding it — with a third location in Toronto.

Screenshot of an article from CityNews. The headline reads: Toronto hospital to greatly expand permanent housing program that reduces ER visits.

I'm less concerned about RSI leading to a conflict between AI's and people than it creating a war-like conflict between teams of AI's and *each other*. That could get very gnarly very fast.
