If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

urgh so the scourge that is 'AI Scribe' has made it's way to my local hospital and doctors. Guessing it's probably been there a while but thankfully we don't visit either that often, but it needs to go in the bin, whoever thinks that recording someone's medical appointments is in anyway […]

We’ve kept just about every spare piece of #IKEA hardware we have leftover whenever we’ve purchased furniture from them, this must go back over the last 20 years we’ve owned our own home. Well today, I’ve finally used a spare piece from that box after a screw on a hinge came out and disappeared […]

There isn’t a 10% chance that AI will kill all humans in the future via Skynet or the Paperclip Maximizer. But there’s a 100% chance it’s already doing so: mandating water wasting, air polluting, fossil fuel powered data centers, environmental regulations are lifted for these companies and even […]

We seem to be getting a #Deposit #Recycling scheme at #ALDI #StAustell. Interest, as most of what can be recycled at these scheme, we can recycle at home anyway, so, must be some money in it for ALDI to spend on building the unit for it, and offering money off in store? What would be nice is if […]

So today I added a new skill to my portfolio of #DIY capabilities… slate roof tile replacements! Luckily I bought a few spares as managed to crack 2 of the replacements whilst trying to fit but think I have the hand of it now, which is handy as I have another 2 to replace tomorrow it seems! 🥴

Hurricane Dolly now has a high chance of forming in the Tropical Atlantic.

In an unbelievable coincidence, Dolly is the next name on the Atlantic hurricane list, and country music legend Dolly Parton passed away today at age 80 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Invest 96L currently has a 70% chance of development as it moves across the Tropical Atlantic.

If this system becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Dolly.

There’s tons of #solareclipse photos out there but my favourite that I took is this as the sun was setting behind some trees near us.

An image of a partially eclipsed sun against a dark background, with the silhouette of tree branches in the foreground. The sun appears orange and crescent-shaped. Taken in St Austell, Cornwall, UK, which experienced about 95% eclipsed on August 12th 2026

Reading all the commentary on the #emergencyalert in the UK, I’m glad I turned it off before the very first test many years ago! Agree with the sentiments though that it should only get sent for people in immediate danger, not as a means to send mass communication.
