The first thing my son wrote for me after starting primary school was β€œDad is a poo”

A few weeks ago I became hung up on the danger of anthropomorphising AI, so I told it to avoid pronouns for itself, complimenting me or offering β€œopinions”, and to refer to itself only in the 3rd person and to call me β€œMr Lock” only. But I found I missed the friendliness…

Sadly it’s a mostly a myth. The window tax was quite small relative to the cost of bricking up windows and redecorating. Most windows were bricked up for aesthetic or practical reasons

A webpage screenshot of a Ryanair flight booking confirmation page with checkbox options β€œBasic politeness: our crew will treat you with civility and respect Β£4.95” β€œPremium politeness: our crew will smile and call you β€˜Sir’ Β£9.95” β€œNo thanks, I rather be spat at and insulted”

Sounds like an issue with the mix not Zak. Or maybe because his hearing is shot along with his voice. Townshend does all the high parts these days anyway.

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigotsβ€”They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Jolly monk character (probably once a wine advertisement) with caption "I've started investing in stocks: chicken, beef, vegetable.
One day I hope to be a bouillonaire."

Restaurants are so called because the first restaurateurs served "restorative bouillons" (their patrons were the bone-broth aficionados of the eighteenth century). It's very hard to get rich in the restaurant business. This still made me laugh.

Apparently there’s an unfilmed sequel to Robocop where Bixby β€œI’d buy that for a dollar” Snyder is president of the US. Which would have seemed ridiculous at the time but now…

Casting devils into a herd of pigs seems a bit unhelpful too. β€œMy pigs seem a bit agitated today”. β€œYep, cast some demons into them”. β€œWtf would you do that?”

GPT refused an analysis task I gave it the other day. I think it’s partly driven by the size of the task, some kind of unwritten rule about not expending too much processing time on a response
