![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Did I just update my most popular Blender guide? Yup!✨🫡
This isn’t an e-book with every button in Blender.
It's 10 issues that beginners run into 90% of the time.
*With screenshots!*
So you can see how things are actually supposed to look and save yourself hours of time. 👇

Do Dyslexia Fonts Actually Work?
Specialized fonts for students with dyslexia are gaining in popularity. But they’re based on a key misconception, experts warn.

You have been granted one (1) minor boon from Yoshi-P: you can add, subtract, or change something about FFXIV in a *minor* way, no restructuring entire systems or expac stories, nothing that changes the course of the narrative. What do you choose?

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM
no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness
I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

How come people always want to blame porn for things like intimate partner violence and they never want to blame: deeply ingrained misogyny
The UK report behind the new porn ban blames it for being a major cause of violence against women, yet can't cite a single academic study showing a link.
Their proof? "Anecdotal evidence submitted to this review” with a single footnote to a BBC interview with a quote from a school teacher.

The ban on online porn showing choking is doomed to fail
Reaching for a ban is not always the best way to cure a social ill
