A man with glasses and big white grey beard. He has used a snapchat filter to give himself ears and horns and a funny nose.

I came across this picture @wombat37.bsky.social created at some point last year. Makes me smile. Really miss him today. 💜

A cartoon of me; short, chubby, grey-haired and bespectacled, wearing green specs and a shiny black catsuit and boots, and holding a larger red sigh which reads: stop! Nu brainwasels past this point:

I quote, 'everybody's dead, everybody's dead, Dave' often. And the 'I wish I'd never woken him up now' LOL

I'm been missing him keen this week too as I am doing the final proofread on book 3, and realising it'll all be over soon. Hugs. 💜

No-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life... is only the core of their actual existence.

Eleven years since Terry Pratchett went for a curry with Death. I remember sobbing for days and tbh I still feel it from time to time.
@rhi.bsky.social thanks for lending the rest of us your dad.

Thank you. It might never come at all. I wish I did have friends that could help. I go over to the UK 3 time a year for 2 weeks on my own, and it's clear to me there aren't any. Everyone had their own lives & troubles. I'm fully aware I'll be completely alone. But that's OK too.

24 fucking years, today, I've lived in this country and ever year I regret ever moving here. One day soon I hope to say, I used to live in Holland. But first I've got to find a way of financing myself to get out.

Most professors described the experience of contending with the technology in despairing terms. “It’s driving so many of us up the wall,” one said. “Generative AI is the bane of my existence,” another wrote in an email. “I wish I could push ChatGPT (and Claude, Microsoft Copilot, etc) off a cliff.”

“I now talk about AI with my students not under the framework of cheating or academic honesty but in terms that are frankly existential,” said Dora Zhang, a literature professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “What is it doing to us as a species?”

“There’s kind of defeatism, this idea that there’s no stopping technology and resistance is futile, everything will be crushed in its path,” said Clune, the Ohio State professor. “That needs to change … We can decide that we want to be human.”
