They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Wait… but Trump said our concerns about AI taking over the world and destroying humanity are a “HOAX.” And efforts to restrict AI and data centers are part of a “SICK conspiracy.”

You could show more confidence as a country by putting AI nowhere near centre stage, and shouting that you won’t be taken in. That’s a confident move. Just like you would magic beans, or a perpetual motion machine, or Bagpuss’ Mouse Mill with the chocolate biscuits.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

#84: Chard
A screengrab of a headline to a Guardian column by Adrian Chiles. It reads "I'm an avid fan of chard - but you can have too much of a good thing"

(Alt-text for next image)
We had been four weeks in the Downlands, myself and Brom. Four weeks on foot through valleys and dales, cross meandering streams and fast-running rivers; four weeks living off the few small creatures that Brom managed to catch - barely enough to keep a dog alive, let alone a dog and man. Thankfully, we had encountered no further Remnants, but we had seen no other Living either and I had begun to think that we two might be the last left alive in this region.
Finally, at the point where hunger had begun to feel like an ever-present companion for us both, we came across a small cottage by a wood. Deserted, near derelict inside, it held little prospect as a camp until I pushed aside the cracked back door and found myself looking at a wondrously overgrown vegetable garden. Chard leaves, almost reaching to my own height, filled the wide beds, and I, desperate for something other than toasted squirrel meat - and simultaneously heedless of the suspicious twitchings of Brom’s wet nose - grabbed handfuls of the stuff and began eating.
(Continued in next alt-text)(Continued from previous alt-text)
The taste was glorious - earthy, full, with a tinge of bitterness - everything my deprived body had craved. And the supply appeared boundless. Despite Brom’s clear reservations, I decided to make the cottage our temporary home.
The years of wandering through The Scorched Country and The Flesheries - all that Brom and I had seen, and fled from and fought - should have given me more pause, I know that now, especially considering what horrors we had encountered, all spawned from The Great Blast. But the taste - ah, the taste of those leaves was so beguiling, so moreish…
Over the course of a week, during which I ate only the leaves - with poor Brom left to scavenge for whatever small prey he could find in our vicinity - I found myself becoming increasingly torpid and indolent. My skin took on a glistening appearance, as though sticky wet. At the same time I found my limbs growing weak, almost seeming to recede back into my body. I began to wonder who had made this garden, and where they were now?
Then one night the answer came. Crawling out into the garden almost on my belly, desperate for another leaf or two, I spied through the thick stems, a pair of stalked eyes staring back at me. Parting the stems with my wizened hand I saw him - what once had been a man, now something other; a creature resembling some kind of slug-human hybrid. His lipless, wet mouth opened in soundless greeting. I went to reply and found my own voice vanished.
Then teeth grabbed my trousers and I felt myself getting pulled away, back through the house, out through the front door, back through fields away from the cottage - away to safety.
With a weak hand I scritched Brom’s head. My saviour. My friend.
“Good boy,” I said, my voice now returning, “Good, good boy.”
Brom’s eyes spoke of love. And not a little reproach.
