I would celebrate this woman’s life rather than mourn her passing. A true trailblazer and someone whose contribution to my world cannot be trapped by mere numbers.

Seriously, if you want my money for independent news, your socials need to be news and not tosh like this. If I wanted Top magazine features, I buy it. You have to do better, @theguardian.com

The company wants a $1.5 trillion valuation. They are also screeching about AI safety and how they need to be slowed down. Maybe if they focused on safety from the start this wouldn’t be costing half a million dollars but given what they are spending on operations, half a million is negligible

Am I missing something or is the M4 station at Montparnesse completely inaccessible? I have transferred to/from Gare du Nord-Montparnasse twice lately with much lugging of heavy luggage, and it is, even without a bag, insufferable. But there isn’t even an escalator. At least I can lug. Wheelchairs?

I wish we would ban estate agents from using only AI enhanced images. Show me the property as it actually looks too. You are looking for 400ke plus for this place. The least you could do is avoid completely false advertising and I don’t care that you say the ad is not contractually binding

Many years ago, Joseph O’Connor wrote an essay about a now rarely mentioned Ireland England football match in 1995 which resulted in riots and the match ultimately being abandoned. He had been on a London Dublin flight and he mentioned one young man and the need for him to belong to a group of peers

When I see headlines like this, I think the monetisation needs not just to be stopped but a triple fine applied to the platform too. And in the US, since corporations are persons there, the companies should get criminal records. Can’t help feeling that would soften a few coughs.

This is an extraordinary piece of writing and while I wasn’t a researcher, I did my masters on unsupervised learning. I cannot recognise the AI LLM industry as AI and it isn’t what I loved about machine learning. It is worth especially reading to the end to understand the extent of opportunity cost

I have been donating money to the RNLI for more than 20 years. I no longer live in an area where they are likely to be called upon to save my life but while I was reconsidering whether to continue or not, I cannot justifiably stop. Not when I see what is being done to them at the moment.

My YouTube feed has lately been full of women whinging about Caran d’Ache re-releasing some limited edition colour crayons. It has, apparently, reached the level of Situation with a capital S. It is incredibly tedious to listen to. The crayons were not, still are not, available as open purchase.

Lack of critical thinking is why people might believe this. Confiscate their money - I mean their cash, not their wishful thinking future values - and get rid of them. Make them learn to use slide rules.

On a separate note, the Visitors is my favourite album by ABBA but there are so many bangers on Voulez-Vous. Every single one of their albums could be called “best”.

I really couldn’t care less about the crap sold to us as AI but this autonomous moving rubbish bin with the personality of a cute cartoon kitten is pretty cool.

There is a cat robot dustbin in CDG terminal 2 which is more intelligent, more useful and more tangible than this wildly idiotic male fantasy concept. Any competent journalist would interview not the software but the people behind the software.

One of the main Irish auction houses has an auction of important Irish art running around now. One of my very occasional pleasures is to take a look at the catalogues of such events to see if they have anything interesting. So I can tell you that they have three Paul Henry’s atm.

I tried to avoid seeing that clip of a woman being gang assaulted by a bunch of men at a party conference who I assume see themselves as respectable pillars of society. I failed. They are not pillars of society and they need to be ostracised. The way they hauled at her hair is …

I have some doubts looking at Kent. I am not getting “geriatric” as a vibe there.

How many user operated level crossings are still on the Irish rail network? And why, in 2026 is the number not 0?

I don’t go on twitter for glaringly obvious reasons but does he know what the English did to people in Ireland? I mean, thinking of Oliver Cromwell here, as one example.

A) no one, not even John Scalzi, owes you their attention. B) you are not an exception to rule A). C) you are looking to exploit someone. Don’t. D) go to Rule (A) E) this is not networking. It’s manipulating.

I have heard of absolutely none of these people and the summaries do not attract me. I assume that they are basically irrelevant to the vast majority of the world. Despite UScentricity.

If your job is being an influencer, you aren’t authentic. I am sick of reviews of art materials you were “sent without expectation of a positive review”. I am only interested in your authentic travel vlogging if you paid your way.

The ISU let a bunch of Russian skaters back into competition this year as AIN skaters. Trying to remember how many South African athletes got to compete as AIN athletes in any sport in the 1980s.

Used to watch a flatmate playing some GTA game and wondering whether some of these kids were into that game at any stage.

There’s a restaurant in Amsterdam Airport where you access the menu via a QR code which identifies your table. Opens your browser, you do the order, it keeps a running tab in case you order more stuff later. No need for a login, no need for an app. In short, there is a functioning solution for this

Today, I feel the heat is getting me. This is a message to product owners at Pinterest and Instagram. I don’t want to see “fewer” AI pins or posts. I want to see none whatsoever. If you are going ram it down my throat, I think you should have the corporate decency to flag any AI content.

Also when I rule the world, anyone who uses the words flavorful or flavoursome will be condemned to a life of unflavoured pasta, overcooked.

There is a major issue in UK press/journalism in that most of what they push is not news, but commentary, much of it self important but lacking in any sort of social value. I have to hope that at some point we will get back to an era of sanity but that hope is forlorn.

Reading this thread, I assume anyone who uses the word _gobshite_ is, in fact, from Ireland, and probably from somewhere in the SW corner. Maybe rural Limerick. This man has definitely picked up a hurley stick at some point.

If I had 100million euro, I would: see the puffins in Farne, Maine and Iceland. I would whale watch where I can see Orcas and humpbacks. I would donate money to Only Marmots and I would visit them in Saas-Fee. I would donate to research foundations on glaciers and melting.

If you want to tell the Irish government what to do, you need to be an Irish voter. They aren’t answerable to a British newspaper or a bunch of US based academics.
