Our wee beastie Carol in her onesie. She has a cone for a week while a cut on her leg healed, but as the stitches were removed, she went into full goblin mode & negated 7 days of enconement. With the cut all glued shut, she gets to spend some time in a onesie, which is much more stylish than a cone.

How philosopher Shannon Vallor delivered the year's best critique of AI

In London for a few days. Met up with Dean Brown (NZ’s Little Skull & Nova Scotia) last night at Cafe OTO where we saw Arto Lindsay with Melvin Gibbs, a remarkably wonderful set, both elegantly beautiful and beautifully harsh.

I just read the text this refers to and I am still trying to recover. Be warned: the utter meaningless of it is a powerful injection attack that will paralyze your frontal lobe for 3-5 minutes
SBF’s use of language is so similar to Elon’s: Utterly shallow and vapid, complete steaming horseshit wrapped in a glittery bow of hipster nonsense, Orwellian in its unrootedness to concrete reality, where people live. It’s a symptom of no one ever telling them: ‘JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.’
I finally got hold of the government exhibit that SBF's lawyers worried prosecutors were using just to "show that he’s some sort of crazy person"

I just discovered that The AI Mirror is now available for preorder!
It was five years in the making, and it hasn’t sunk in yet that it’s real. But I think it’s the most important work I’ve ever done.
