This is exciting. This is (something like? Some part of?) what I was hoping to see, hoping to create. If you'd like me to come and talk about deceptive stories of technology, or do tech policy tarot, get in touch. We could collab on sensible things too :-)

And if you're still reading - I think this article really shows how joyful creativity can counter the debilitating deluge of AI-schlock in academia and elsewhere. Come for the AI policy; stay for the Shakespeare jokes.

I have a periodically pinched nerve in the neck which makes a migraine-like effect.... stress triggered obviously. But no stress here! Totally relaxing time! Nothing awry at all! (etc)

I've discovered I might have nerve headaches for four years. That'll bring the twitch
