AI preventing itself being shut down?
Maybe we should be worried that it might not allow us to cancel any AI subscriptions🤔

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say
Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown

For those that have followed me from Twitter you will recall I put out many threads on the lunacy of the plan by Rishi Sunak to make the excise tax system for Alc be based on the strength rather than volume. This subtle change was devastating for the wine industry with yet more UK Brexit red tape.

What’s a fair price for 12 hours’ entertainment? Would you pay £50 if you felt you got your money’s worth?

And: Do you feel connected to Shrewsbury Flower Show and its parent body’s activities, or does it seem to you like ‘The Haughty Cultural Society’?

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

If you don't want to hear people enjoying themselves, don't move into a house next to Pub that has run live music 4 nights a week for nearly 30 years.

This:
“No, I was actually grieving a loss of hope, of promise, of joy.”
Strangest thing that feeling, I've had it myself, hitting 50 and looking back, hard to fully interpret the emotions, is it getting old? Loss of youth? Loss of beauty? No, I was actually grieving a loss of hope, of promise, of joy. My advice to my girls has been to get qualified and get out. So sad.

I think part of the LLM-Hype is that we all can be managers now. Not knowing anything, not doing anything, but telling others to go and produce a result we can then happily attribute to ourselves.

We *need* to talk about my former employer the BBC, because this is shocking

Sadly, though, it’s not surprising

The BBC is in the hands of people who don’t understand #pubmedia public service. They are not fit to be trusted with it

They've just played my new song at one of the local bars. Nice to get it in amongst the Andalucian vibes.
