One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.
On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.

I was warned that Nigella's Parmesan Shortbreads are basically the savoury biscuit equivalent of crack and, having just made my first batch, I am not disappointed.

Unlike Clarkson, or Sugar, Andrew Neil actually fronted BBC politics programmes, at the same time was the publisher of a right-wing Conservative magazine and freely expressed his very right wing opinions on Twitter.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

Endless lols at the guy who came to Molly Crabapple's online talk about the Bund to tell her it was all just 'Palestinian propaganda'. This is an entirely new and special kind of stupid.

On the plus side, establishing that it is my laptop's battery charging circuit rather than the actual battery that is fucked has led to a lot of crap falling out of the keyboard due to all that turning upside down. Every cloud etc.

Immensely frustrating that I can't stream tonight, but my laptop is buggered and until I get that fixed - which could well take a while - there's no way to do it.
On the plus side, you won't have to deal with me plaintively posting my going live updates twice a week, for a while. So there's that.

Good lord. Turns out a song I thought for many years was a Christine Perfect tune (which I've been covering for a long time) is in fact much older.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.
