I sell AI at one of those multi-trillion dollar Megacorps so that I can afford a lavish life-style of debauched sexual hedonism and bibliophilia.
I also tame Crows.

This is worth a watch. Politics does not come in short form content, this is about the minimum amount of time you will need to invest to be remotely informed.
(📹) Here’s my 100-minute Q&A from tonight. Click below to watch. It covers a lot of ground, so if you think others might benefit from it, I hope you’ll share it.

My Linkedin feed is full of people "Ghibliing" memes. I thought I'd Ghiblify something a little more important.

Kudos to Microsoft for sending their Geo-political mouthpiece to Europe with such a strong message in front of journalists.
They did not need to bring up Ukraine, but they did. I heard from a friend of a friend that he had to pause his speech for the applause.

I have long had a theory, that LLM's will help counter a lot of misinformation we see in social media and in media in general.
I saw a screenshot earlier today, of Grok 3 concluding Elon Musk being a racist when asked.
I wasn't surprised. My theory is that in order to "brainwash" an LLM

The Bluesky Algo seems to find me challenging. At least after I started using the "Less of this type of stuff" button.
Earlier today, it was convinced that I was a gay, furry who loved classical cinema and U.S politics.

So Audible weekly rewinds are a thing now. Last week averages out to 10,5'ish hours per day on average. I live in fear of my manager at work discovering my weekly/yearly rewind and doing the math.

Children of Time is a kindle monthly deal this month!
Happy New Year!
A 'modern classic' is on a 99p deal to start the year off with a bang.
If you haven't read Children of Time - @clarkeaward.bsky.social winner in 2016 - then you are in for a great new year treat!

Recently had dinner with one of the people working on preventing the Y2K disaster at Microsoft back in 99.

My energy bills have been utterly absurd in the last two years. I'd gladly see them doubled or tripled if it's what it takes for Europe to stand up to Russia.
⚡️ Fico's threats to cut off electricity supplies won't work, Ukraine's Energy Minister says.
