🧵 It is exactly a year ago since the general election. Labour have turned out to be a massive disappointment, the Tories have almost vanished into obscurity, and Reform are still twats. Here's a little story from last year from when the Conservatives wanted me to work for them.

ChatGPT Lost a Chess Game to an Atari 2600 And on the 'Beginner' difficulty level, too.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

A set of AI instructions to reheat Indian food which include the instruction for Naan, Roti and Chapati to WRAP IN FOIL AND MICROWAVE, which is not only a bad instruction but an excellent way to blow up your microwave.

The Google AI instructions for how to reheat Indian food are also an excellent set of instructions for how to burn your house down.

Gilroy: You could say: Why has Hollywood for the last 100 years been progressive or been liberal? I think it’s much larger. I’ll go further and say: Why does almost all literature, why does almost all art that involves humans trend progressive?

Let’s stick with Hollywood. Making a living as an actor or as a writer or a director — without the higher degree of empathy that you have, the more aware you are of behavior and all kinds of behavior, the better you’re going to be at your job. We feed our families by being in an empathy business. It’s just baked in. You’re trying to pretend to be other people. The whole job is to pretend to be other, and what is it like to look from this? People may be less successful over time at portraying Nazis as humans, and that may be good writing or bad writing, and there may be people that have an ax to grind. But in general, empathy is how I feed my family. And the more finely tuned that is, the better I am at my job.

That is what actors do: I’m going on Broadway, I’m playing a villain for six months. I got to live in that. I’m playing the slave, I’m playing the fisherman, I’m playing the nurse, I’m the murderer — you have to get in there. You have to live lives through other people. I think that the simple act of that transformation and that process automatically gives you what I would describe as a more generous and progressive point of view. It just has to.

And I don’t see how you can buy, if you’re going to reissue the Hardy Boys or try to twist a knot and say that Melville or the Coen brothers made a piece of right-wing art because you see something in there — I think it really misses the larger point of the struggle that that movement is going to be up against. Does that make any sense to you?

I’m late to this interview with Tony Gilroy but I think his answer, about why most art is progressive, hits the nail on the head. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

getting closer to 40, I haven't had a cigarette in a decade, I've started to get regular exercise, I don't drink beer every day any more. Today I could have gotten a doughnut and didn't because I knew it would make me feel bad. all of this personal growth sucks and I hate it
