Bit on the nose that the Royal Variety Performance is closing the show with a performance of Les Mib. Basically, a musical about the the anti-monarchist insurrection of Parisian republicans.

But yeah, I support this message.

Seeing lots of rhetoric around how resistance to AI is the same as resistance to typewriters, calculators, PowerPoint etc.

It’s not, those tools automated presentation activities. AI automates cognitive processing. The impact on learning and research could be profound over time!

All this bad press for “prince” Andrew!

You’d think his advisors would suggest he does some sort of tv interview to tell his side…

BBC News should open all their news programmes with the statement "Prince Andrew denies all the allegations..." #BBC

Apparently this is a bad news week for the Royal Family.

And still they have not shown a shred of empathy for Virginia Giuffre, or the countless other victims of sex trafficking.

There's a reason that Muir, and Whitman did not say things like "The Mountains are calling and I must go... land snorkeling" Or "Give me solitude, give me Nature, give me my land scuba pack"

brilliant new post from @peterbryanthe.bsky.social

Her name is Virginia Giuffre, not “his accuser”. Stop othering a victim of sex trafficking. Start referring to him as “close friend of convicted sex offenders”

Conferring author status on what is essentially a giant plagiarism machine is not the way I would have gone. Just saying.
