Just sent a Whatsapp message to a business and got an immediate AI-generated reply, the gist of which was "Would you like us to connect you to a human who can deal with this?" What is the point of that?

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.

A path stretches into the distance and around a corner to the left. Trees on either side of the path and fallen brown leaves to the sides. The sunlight is highlighting a patch of branches and leaves .

One of the advantages of reading a book (In One Ear by Simon Raymonde) by someone who runs a music label is that you get loads of new band recommendations. Currently enjoying this Danish lot very much. tidal.com/track/703026...

Two kids persuaded the head teacher that they’d “written a song” and he let them perform it in assembly. The song was a keyboard ‘funk’ preset with them repeating the words “electro chicken” in vocoder voices for five minutes.

The military bloat of the massive SUVs on the school run is getting ridiculous. You're there to take a child home for tea, not transport a pallet of shrinkwrapped banknotes through the fall of Basra.

Improving your Monday morning with this Bearded Tit. You are welcome. 📷️ @ronpon22.bsky.social
A Bearded Tit stands on a mossy branch, its feathers puffed up into a perfectly round ball. Its warm buff-coloured plumage, pale face and tiny orange bill give it an irresistibly fluffy appearance, while one foot is lifted mid-step as though it's waddling along.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

omg he actually did it
A screenshot from twitter. User @MrBeast writes : "Growing up I thought books were boring, in reality I just didn't read anything that actually interested me. Which is why I teamed up with James Patterson to write The Most Dangerous Games! For many people this might be the first book they actually read (and hopefully enjoy haha) give it a read and tell me what you think :D"

There is a photo of a book cover which reads "MRBEAST THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES. JAMES PATTERSON"A screenshot from Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. The caption reads "I'm one of the few people who've written more books than they've read."

The concept of royalty still makes no sense to me. It's like a cultural ouroboros or non sequitur. 'I am your self-appointed ruler. As such, I authorise my appointment as your ruler. Them's the rules, and I will humbly dedicate my life to upholding those rules; they're what make this nation great.'
