Are Google trying to make Gmail unusable with irrelevant, nonsensical AI suggestions? Spending more time closing AI tosh down than dealing with the actual work. I don't need a summary of an email trail I kicked off.
The West's fossil fuel shills ceding the future of automotive to a geopolitical rival.
“AI is being unfairly targeted over its energy use, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims, as the naysayers ignore the vast amount of resources humans have consumed over millennia” The tech bros ever showing themselves for the lunatics they are. www.theregister.com/2026/02/23/s...
"Rather than raising age limits, governments should lean on tech firms to make their products safer for teens." Yeah, we can trust big tech to act responsibly. The @economist.com is so ridiculously naive at times.
Slackbot now hassling me with unwanted notifications and offers of assistance from various AI tools. It’s currently just useless crap that no one needs or asked for.
London drops out of top 20 IPO venues after raising a paltry 248 million this year. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I don't recall Apple asking China to scrap restrictions to its services there. Would-be Monopolist complaining about efforts to foster competition, and to build some defence against an unreliable trading partner, is not a good look.
Revolut thinking they have a chance of expanding into China is the height of delusion…
Nice bit of moat protection. As if his European business is not touting its credentials in European data (+ AI) sovereignty to businesses in the region behind closed doors. You’d think that SAP must be winding down Joule… www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Uproot your family and move across the country… And then hope your role survives the next round of AI-inspired job cuts. Amazon as ever doing some solid work on its employer brand. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Why the views of the anti-renewables crowd should be ridiculed for the idiocy they are. Any country unable to keep pace will be poorer and dependent on unreliable suppliers with unpredictable pricing that always has the ability to tank the economy. Better to tackle remaining challenges than carp.
Oof! @bloomberg.com tech newsletter referring to Japanese company, Samsung. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Accidentally click on the Gemini button in Gmail. It can’t even work out that I’d respond in British rather than American English, let alone providing anything useful.
More good news for the world. China unveils barge bridges to facilitate amphibious military landing. I wonder what it is that so bothers them about a prosperous, technologically advanced, Mandarin speaking nation of 24m people able to choose their own leaders? www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04...
The Economist nails it (doesn't happen often these days).
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Courtesy of @artefr.bsky.social I watched the Cure in Hyde Park and Black Sabbath's previous final gig. Tonight it's Abba. Perfect.
Some of us have headphones on. Just making sure. I'd shrug and wait.
No use cases for blockchain-powered finance apparently - apart from being faster, cheaper, simpler than current international finance infrastructure. www.ft.com/content/d033...
Can a slump build momentum? Doesn't it just get slumpier?
Ouch! Unlucky Celtic.
“You’re buying insurance, you’re not buying advertising”. Non-free speech across multiple dimensions. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
A welcome blast of spring.
Real Madrid in the Champions League. Always fun.
Google talking about agentic AI and yet my own Gmail can’t even work out that an email sent by me from Google Calendar to meeting participants is not spam… Not sure I fancy letting agents loose in my business just yet.
No Microsoft, I do not want to download your Teams app. Whenever I download Microsoft anything it tries to take over default settings (search, links from emails, calls, etc) even though I do nothing to authorise this and actively seek to prevent it.
Served this wonder by the algorithm after watching some other artists. youtu.be/pn0IRI5wdzI?...
Just seen the Champions League draw. Villa are gonna win it again. Manageable run to the semis. Wolves meanwhile... #wwfc #wolves #avfc
WPP offers most talented staff to smaller, more modern rivals - while slashing disposable income and free time for those who remain. www.ft.com/content/72e7...
