The placement (and frequency) of adverts on YouTube is a fucking disgrace. We shouldn't have to pay to remove this shit, they should be fined for such appalling behaviour.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I'm convinced the main reason new years resolutions don't work is because you're trying to take away something you enjoy during the bleakest, coldest month. Quit stuff in spring, in the past 3 springs I've quit smoking, drinking and joined the gym. So far have stuck to all three.
