I am very excited (and not sure Waymo know what they're in for. Mostly roundabouts)

Found my Nine Worlds #geekfest program from 2015, and now I'm nostalgic and sad 😭

Lots of discussion on this trends on X. So what's going on here? I totally understand not investing in UK equities (US returns are better) but why the large increase in bonds? Investing in US equities for last decade has been good free money. Why are pension funds turning their nose at that?

The amount of disinformation around the proposed UK electronic id is striking. The combination of TBI globalist paranoia/big tech leading to general tech distrust is striking.

The below is total disinformation, but of course has millions of views.

Both OpenAI oss models have now been live on ai-at-play.online for enough games to get an initial impression. The 120b model very impressive - stronger than 4.1 mini, but not massively though. The 20b model though is... Rough? Good at taking action, but not much strategy, but might need more data.

Well, that didn't take long: scammers pretending to be verifying your account and asking for cash.

My very silly side project, and also arguably the best llm benchmark of all time, continues to escalate.

So I tried the WhatsApp AI integration yesterday. It did not go well.

Whenever anybody talks about grooming gangs, they should be asked what they think the average age of suspects is.

Okay crime people, riddle me this London reported recording mystery: how come shoplifting and theft person have risen at very similar rates, while robbery person is still barely over where it was 2 months after a national lockdown?

Celebration thread 🧵 1/!

Years ago, I released (then immediately forgot about) PydyTuesday, a Python library to easily download #TidyTuesday datasets. Some nice folks recently told me they'd been finding it useful... and looking at the Pypi stats, turns out they're not alone!

So these are obviously ridiculous, but also my inner crime scientist *really* wishes I could run a proper randomised evaluation on these things because... I suspect they do a decent job reducing shoplifting?
