Steve, I want you to consider what you have done here
I remember asking my daughter what she learned in school that day. She said gay men liked Sony. Lesbians prefer Bose. Transgender ppl prefer Yamaha.
With tears in my eyes I knelt down and said to her, "fuck sake girl, they're just stereo types"

Interesting that the sceptics have now fully moved from “it doesn’t work” to “it’s a bubble”.
(It probably is a bubble! But who cares? There’s been a fundamental breakthrough and it will drive the build-out of compute and energy infrastructure.)

Everyone agrees that we're currently in a dotcom era-like AI bubble. People disagree what sort of bubble it is.
There are 3 stories one can tell about the dotcom crash: a startup story, a telecom story, and an accounting fraud story.

Be sceptical of anyone who says they know how the current US administration policy will develop, but China hawks might be circling around open science policy.

I can't wait to listen to this. As a Man of Kent, I read the book immediately after hearing part 1. I have subsequently bought All the Devils Are Here for several friends, my Dad, the son of a colleague of David Seabrook, and the ED of Turner Contemporary in Margate. It is a completely unique book.
New episode up now. All the Devils Are Here by David Seabrook: part 2, with guest Jason Hazeley in conversation with Andy Miller, Una McCormack and Nicky Birch. @jasonhazeley.bsky.social @unamccormack.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6ZlW...

I will be having a ventepølse during my Norwegian lesson tmrw.
In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."
A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."
