Or Narnia. Or Middle Earth. Or Red Dwarf. Or (niche reference) Dungeon Keeper.

A racist past? He has a racist present. And that's the draw for some people

I've long thought there should be a publicly owned newspaper to balance the press but I guess they're less relevant these days and the BBC News app is the equivalent anyway. Still, it'd be funny to nationalise the Telegraph

I have a low-key indie Christmas playlist that allows me to join in without getting overwhelmed by the cheeriness and exuberance (I don't listen to it until the 1st Dec though!)

...however, I do wish Starmer would listen to others in his party and drastically change track. And I do hope that Zack Polanski or at least someone on the left of Labour wins the next election

Ugh. That's grim

It's completely mad. Bosses at work don't read anything anymore. They just ask ChatGPT to summarise new legislation, product information or whatever

ChatGPT can't replace doing your own reading. We are making ourselves stupider.

I challenged it and said it missed Hull, Northampton and Dundee. It said "you're right! I assumed you wanted examples, here's a more complete list..." and then gave me the same list but with Hull, Northampton and Dundee on. I challenged it again and said it had missed Stoke, and then gave up.

The other day, I wondered how many towns in the UK have more than one stadium. I found a Wikipedia page that lists all stadiums with a capacity over 5000 but it was sorted by capacity, not town. So I asked ChatGPT to tell me which towns appear in the list more than once. It came back with about 5.

A good test is to ask it about something you already know about. I just asked it to estimate the weight of a product I'm writing about and it came back with a huge number based on the product being steel. The spec (which it had access to) says it's aluminium but it just assumed it was steel.
