In the days when tech companies at least pretended that they wanted to improve our lives. 😄

I opened my 32 page course book for perfumery 5 day scent school, and PowerPoint told me that it was a very long document and perhaps I would like AI to summarise it for me.

Does anyone else find themselves regularly shouting at their own screens, "No! Fuck off!"?

I blocked that person as it's nothing but trouble.

Rainy day; cup of tea; ten minutes to kill. Most of you know what that means by now. #Storytime.
New folk, this is when I write a story from scratch, here on Bluesky. And it always starts ike this:
"There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve."

Dan sundered himself from his sense many years ago.

😂 Rude.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

They don't seem to understand that some of us were taught to write well, and check for mistakes before publishing. I
Of course they don't, because they have no sense of understanding.

Whatever happened to you to make you this hateful of decent humans, I feel sorry for you.

Read the whole thread. It's not really a surprise, but it's astonishing that no one seems to be getting arrested.

A stunning ice dance from the Americans and all she pointed out was that the man lost his balance. #WinterOlympics

Is anyone watching the ice dance on TNT Sports? There's a commentator who has been picking fault in everything! I think she's just been told off for being such a misery as she's suddenly started being the tiniest bit kind.

Oh no you aren't.

My new favourite cafe. They're not wrong.

They do.

They just waited until the legitimate renters weren't there! It's in the report.

Absolutely cracking work here from Jim's team. I defend the BBC a lot, but when a small team is doing really solid work like this while BBC London is doing puff pieces about the Wicked films, it really does make you wonder what's gone wrong with the big news outlets.

😂 Careful with this unregulated use of irony.

It was always the plan.

I've been trying to think who it might be, if it's that, but I actually think it was her absolute ruthlessness. I know it's a game and all that, but she was just too convincing at being an awful person.

I didn't trust Rachel from the second I saw her. I don't know why I've taken so badly against her.

Perfect.

Hardly anyone does! I get random regulations updates because I work in perfume.

Naphthalene poisoning - Wikipedia share.google/hjR0EQ72Op96...

They killed moths, but also cats, birds and other smaller creatures. Eventually light dawned that they were poisonous to living creatures, including humans, not just moths.

Did you know that this is also why mothballs were banned?

I did not know!

Unpack a random box, find your dad's School Certificate from 1944.

We make and send perfume to our US customers, and accept that there are now 10% tariffs additional charges.
Since 19th November DHL has been adding the product code for steel to all our paperwork, and charging 50% tariffs.
They have done this to other perfume makers too.
This is fraud.

Not one bit! 😁
