Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Tonight's film is... Ballad of a Small Player. It's the new Netflix thing with Colin Farrell & Tilda Swinton.
So far, it's got the Netflix sheen - lots of neon, taking full advantage of Macau's lights and glitz.
Of course Farrell is eminently watchable as the down on his luck gambling lord

Never. I'm always surprised at how casually people use CGPT and use it instead of Google.
I even put "-ai" on my searches. Why feed the means of my own destruction?!?

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

So I opted out & instead went for House of Dynamite... the other nuclear war film.
It's mostly in the White House & bunkers with lots of jargon like "GBI's launched, Sir, but no word on the EKVs."
Generally it's just about the absolute lunacy of nuclear stand-offs.
Finishing it tonight.
