I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

            Nice article thanks. Is it not the case that the kind of revenue needed to make LLMs a commercial success require a massive restructuring of the jobs market which in itself is likely to cause a recession?

                                            An illustration in the style of the bayeux tapestry showing people enjoying a British night out. Instead of knights there are hoards of drunk revellers, a woman tumbles out of a taxi, a man wears a traffic cone on his head, kebabs are ordered and drugs are dealt behind police on horseback. There is fighting and vomiting also. The borders are embroidered with details such as a seagull eating some chips and a used condom. There are latin phrases such as 'Im tam ebrus est' and 'Allium Condimentum'

            Some studies show a higher rate of autism in children whose mother used paracetamol when pregnant, some don't. That seems to be what we know at the moment. We can't say prenatal paracetamol use causes autism, we can't say it doesn't. Should we do more research - definitely

Having an opinion shouldn't be the preserve of think tanks or professional commentators. That said when journalists are out asking questions most people are out at work.

            Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesnβt grow, *it will die*. 
Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you donβt want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldnβt use, and the like, will kill it quicker.

            The paradox is - Extinction Rebellion understood they needed to do more than walk around to get coverage - but what they did alienated many of their would be supporters. The threat of violence in right wing protests seems to engender greater support. How do quiet people make themselves heard I dunno

            The China protestors have their walk, nothing happens then they go home. The hotel protests there's a really high chance something gets set on fire. So we cover the hotel protests. Then it's a Sunday and nothing else has happened and we've got all this content from the hotel protests so it gets used
