Ok so when I solve the Voynich, I won't tell you. lol

Which website is that from?

Am I being too optimistic for thinking that the end of the nuclear age could happen fairly soon? If a nuclear power like Russia can get pummeled so hard by Ukraine, if being a nuclear power doesn't save you from this kind of total devastation, is it time to call those weapons useless?

Totally disgusting new BBC Maestro course where a fake Agatha Christie teaches you how she wrote. Part actress - part AI. Agatha Christie was in no position to consent to any of this. Can we stop faking everything with #AI, please?

Department 'fully satisfied' with appointment of ex-Meta lobbyist to Data Protection Commission In recent years, Meta has been slapped with multiple fines by the Data Protection Commission totalling well over €1bn for data breaches

Corruption at its finest.

Remove her from this post!

What's your opinion of the Bechdel test? Is it a useful metric or pseudo-scientific nonsense?

I remember seeing an ad for Google Chrome while browsing with Google Chrome and then I thought: "so much for all their metrics."

It is similar to George Orwell's 1984 play with language. Equate the opposites.
"War is peace"
"Slavery is freedom"

This morning, while leaving my hotel, I got a rare chance to pet a #pony. I was carrying bags while holding the phone so the angle isn't great but it's still a great memory.

858TB of government data may be lost for good after South Korea data center fire Destroyed drive wasn't backed up, officials say

Imagine a whole country losing almost all of its data because it was all in one place with no backups.
Really basic stuff.

That's nice but memory sticks have a shelf life. They decay and won't work forever. So make copies.

For all those who need motivation to write, writingstreams.com lists live writing streams. Doing things together helps!

Looking forward to watching that on youtube.

MAY YOU NEVER KNOW THE FEAR OF HAVING YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS CHALLENGED EVERY TIME THERE IS AN ELECTION. AND MAY YOU NEVER KNOW THE PAIN OF WATCHING LOVED ONES VOTE AGAINST YOUR RIGHT TO EXIST FULLY, EQUALLY AND AUTHENTICALLY.

I am very happy that you study the classics.

Yeah, push ups can be very hard in the beginning. If you feel sick doing them, you are probably not ready for it. Better to ease into something you can stick to. Just walking is great exercise too.

Push ups at home naked?

TIL that the great statue of Constantine has been reconstructed. Incredible!

Now make a billion dollars.

Btw, I greatly enjoyed the Zeno-Socrates skit. It is all the more funny because Zeno is best known for "Zeno's paradox." And in the video, he's the one who refuses to move.

Whenever I feel low and without energy, I try to think back about the things I got done. The stories I have written, the software I wrote, the youtube videos I made. It gives me a little kick.
You have made a lot of great videos. More than enough for you to look back and appreciate.

I don't understand forcing people to use the AI tools at work. Just let people use whatever they want and fire the least performant ones. If your AI tools are so good, everyone who's not using them will be naturally fired. Are you that afraid face the reality?

I feel you. Just know that this is very common. Bear in mind that if you re-write, maybe you are just trying to say the same things with fewer words rather than genuinely cutting.
I know it hurts the soul but you should try to cut entire paragraphs without re-writing.

Well, you know how hieroglyphs work, right? To say "eye" you draw an eye. To say "mouth" you draw a mouth. So how would you write that "male body part" in hieroglyphs? 😂

Image of a youtube ad with proof underneath that it is AI- generated.

Increasingly, the people you see in ads are not real people. They are #AI generated. Is that creepy? Or just the future we were promised?

Well, after reading that I just had to listen to it. That's another song I won't ever hear the same way again.

How do we escape the rat race?
