I've been sick for the last three nights now. I've gone from convulsions, to sweats, to aches, to vomitting, to brain fog, but still no fever dreams.

Anyway, I forgot Adam Scott and Andrew Scott are different people and now I'm wondering if they're cousins.

Equality sounds radical in a world addicted to hierarchy.

Despite the hot air from government about protecting children, they've voted down our Bill to turn off the toxic algorithms.

These algorithms push toxic content promoting eating disorders, self harm, misogyny and hate.

Big Tech profits should not come before children's health.

AND?!

(No, but seriously, I've learned recently a lot of that is to do with SEO, hence why most Amazon titles aren't just "Tea Set" but "Tea Set: Stainless steel oranate homemade tea coffee herbal drink four piece brewing kit 2 kilograms German made for tea, supper, lunch, parties, dinner, meals)

Calling it; we will witness militarised AI used by the US against Iran, and it will be as inaccurate and as destructive as we all know it will be.

True story; even after months of proofreading, I STILL found typos during the audiobook recording session. The studio engineer started laughing when he heard:

"With a chorus of gnarling creaks, crashing glass, a percussion of cracking brick, and the horrified screams of... OH FOR FUCK SAKE!"

Friendly reminder;
2015, Obama, for all his flaws, negotiated denuclearisation with Iran to lift sanctions. Iran agreed.

2018, Trump withdrew from the deal without cause; his admin confirmed Iran was abiding, only withdrawing officially in 2025.

Trump is the reason people are dying right now.

a woman is talking to a man and asking him if he agrees . ALT: a woman is talking to a man and asking him if he agrees .

So you agree; AI is no better than a person.

Great piece in @lithub.com.web.brid.gy about the certainty of uncertainty of the writing life.
