AI is a bubble isn't it? And when it pops we're in even more economic trouble because of all the money sunk in. I think this is less scary than it taking over the world but still a bad outcome.

For years I’ve known that week 3 of autumn term is the worst week of the year. Week 1 is a blur, week 2 a honeymoon, week 3 staff & children both come to see the challenges ahead and understand the work involved. The kids realise: this is it.
Well this week proved me right, again.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me.
So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
