Worrying development. No way can an AI narrated audiobook match the best human narrators

Condolences another addition to the Squad in the Kennels beyond. He was granted a good final chapter to his life though surrounded by other dogs and humans that loved him. We will all miss him

Once again I brushed so much fur off my dog that I was able to make a new dog.

This is Frank. He is the perfect example of why golden retrievers don't make good guard dogs. But they make wonderful welcome committees. 13/10 (TT: accordingtobelieve)

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🀟

I see my original guess has been corrected to a pass. I was quite miffed when putting seed down as something wood pigeons eat generated a fail

Some people in recent days have alleged a β€˜cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a β€˜national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

Punctuation matters. Way more than you think. Bad punctuation can be devastating.

Don't believe me?

Alright, then gather around, children, because I'm going to tell you a short true story about how not understanding ONE punctuation mark once cost a company millions of dollars in a lawsuit.

As it happens nothing went wrong. Probably our worst performance in the last 6 games and yet we finally get the win. Funny game. Nwakali a class above anyone else on the pitch

No that’s the worst I’ve ever seen usually it’s just a normal 6 letter word. Todays is a more normal example
