My online girlfriend was so shocked by the Ukraine drone strike on the Russian data centre that she's been too upset to message me all day.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

when ai leaves u behind
7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

A substitution cypher being sold as unsolveable is the sort of thing Mitchell would have an absolute meltdown about on Would I Lie To You...

Most importantly: no writers from the previous versions of the show. Dr Who should be a place for new writers to get TV experience.

I mean, looking at the historical evidence, I very much doubt it. But that would be nice, yes!

Maybe. However, high testosterone is not an excuse for shitty behaviour. But yes, the infrastructure needs to be much better. That's not the pedestrians' fault in the moment, though. (FWIW I'm a London driver, cyclist and pedestrian)

Agreed. All the more reason for the dickhead cyclists to stop being dickheads.

tommyblako @tom.blakeson.com · 15/09/2026
Yes, those cyclists are dicks. I think we're trying to explain the militant (but good) cyclists' attitude.

There are dangerous idiot cyclists and dangerous idiot drivers. Difference is most drivers also believe most of their fellow drivers are dangerous idiots. Sorry you got hit.

Suspect it's cos near miss when cycling, something that happens regularly in city, is lot more frightening & existential than near miss in car. Something nearly killing you can easily put one in crusade-mode. NB trying to find explanations not justifications. Rachel & David done nothing wrong here

Being a longtime cryptic crossword nerd, I usually find Parseword quite easy. But it does mean I never find the Easter Eggs or other hidden fun - which annoys me more than it probably should. Parseword #227 ⚡️ 33s 💎 Perfect 🗿 Challenge Mode

Do you think the whole >10% thing is a symptom of the AI industry knowing the bubble-burst is almost here so they're actively encouraging governments to intervene, ban their work, and bail them out to stop them progressing? @edzitron.com

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

To be fair, they said you could throw as many alternatives as you like, and you have. I just don't think you're changing their mind because there is no argument.

25 years since this thing came out. I’m very fond of it, it’s possibly the most personal thing I’ve made and, if I’m allowed to be proud for a day, I’m rather proud of it. All 8 eps up on Channel 4. #TheArmandoIannucciShows #Ch4 #ABigEgg
