Green Death, to give it its correct name. Seems it was broadcast in 1973 when I was approaching 5 years old, which seems quite young.

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs.

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.”

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.”

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with.

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

Ah yes, the Anchor, the Thameside Inn and occasional trips up to the Founders. There was also a modern brick-built place in a side street somewhere nearby that my boss liked, might have done curries, but I have no clue at all where it was let alone what it was called.

One of my favourite bits in The Outlaws was the drug dealers arguing about whether or not they could recycle the pizza box. They concluded yes, as long as it wasn't too greasy.

I worked on the other side of Southwark Bridge Road to you 1993-96 and yes it was very much a working market - and it was done and empty before I walked through on the way *into* work. I spent "a few" lunchtimes in the Market Porter and Globe, and still remember the falafel wraps from Clinkers Deli.

The future Grand Paris Express station Villejuif - Gustave Roussy is a masterpiece. It connects metro line 14 (already operating) to the future line 15 in this massive station. I counted a total of 24 escalators. It was eerily quiet since it’s not yet an interchange station.

At the end of every month we put the payroll through and the bank website says "are you 100% sure this isn't a scam?" and we have a good look at our staff and think "honestly not 100% sure, no."

One tricky thing about working with AI at any scale, personal agent or big company testing stuff, is really carefully thinking through how it does things and what guardrails you need to define. It's applying the "what could possibly go wrong" test on steroids.

I started a music blog (now defunct) on the back of listening to some of my dad's (mainly classical) LPs. It was called "No Harpsichords" for a reason - they will get Radio 3 turned off in an instant.

Once again, I gotta say: you cannot treat anything you’re feeding into an AI as anonymous. There are enormous ethics implications for, e.g. referees who are clearly uploading others’ unpublished papers without consent, let alone health care professionals or law enforcement

Some old black and white images from Iceland. #AwesomeFoursome #Iceland

Water falling from a basalt column cliff - a wave receding after crashing against the cliff. Vertical B&W image.

View of a coastline with mountain in distance and small cliff and stack in the foreground with a black beach and white waves making nice patterns on it as they recede. Vertical B&W image.

A waterfall in two parts going upwards due to wind. A waterrise if you like. Vertical B&W image.

The sun tries to come through clouds during a snow shower, overlooking a lagoon with a bit og black sand beach in the foreground. Vertical B&W image.

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland

A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

In case you didn’t see this a couple of days ago, Oracle which is the company with the most exposure in the AI business triggered “Force Majure” on a contract to build a huge data centre in New Mexico. They’re basically saying forces beyond their control are stopping them paying their contractor

Oracle triggers ‘force majeure’ on data centre project over power delays, source says

Oracle issued a “force majeure” notice to a Blue Owl unit, developer of a large New Mexico data centre, citing delays in securing power for the project.
