โ€œIโ€™ve never broken a state law,โ€ Clinton said. โ€œBut when I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didnโ€™t like it. I didnโ€™t inhale it, and never tried it again.

And just to add to this, Scotland very easily beat Italy.
Italy thrash the team that ran England close. England have never beaten a European team at the T20 World Cup. We all know what comes next.

What I continue to find maddening about these pieces is, look, if your new technological innovation does not create new jobs and just destroys old ones...you don't actually *have* to keep doing it!
This post argues AI is having a moment similar to when you heard about some illness in China back in February 2020.

Tech workers just watched AI go from โ€œhelpful toolโ€ to โ€œdoes my job better than I do.โ€ Everyone else is next. Get your financial house in order and lean into whatโ€™s hardest to replace
Something Big Is Happening
A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.

I didn't even put a claim one year - I just called them to tell them I'd had a run in with someone who said I'd hit his car despite being miles off it - and it doubled the cost because of my "claim"

We need to bring back shame and ridicule. Fact checking the guy after the event is no punishment.

We know there is already an Easter Island and a Christmas Island.

I am raising money for an expedition to discover Pancake Tuesday Island.
