The best cartoon of all time is Snow White - that is to say, the 1933 Betty Boop short. Specifically from 4:19 onwards, when Koko the Clown suddenly finds he has Cab Calloway's voice and is then turned into the best ghost ever.

Tbh I’m not sure why I’m even engaging with the budget.

Going to the bookshop annual party this week, and they’ve asked everyone to come as book cover or in a costume inspired by a book. I’m not really a dress up person, so I’m going lowkey with a prop to make a favourite book cover. Can you guess what it is?

I wish this were true but I was making the same argument about the internet for the past 15 years and no one gives a toss that it’s an omnipotent panopticon.

One reason LLMs are so popular is the promise of seemingly private, judgment-free interaction. But once users internalize that their data is being recorded, studied, or reused, it could lead to a shift in how people think, speak, and even feel when using AI, says computer scientist Koustuv Saha.
