This is an interesting deep investigative journalist look at, primarily #OpenAI. There’s more broad coverage of the other main players as well. It’s got its own biases but does a good job of bringing some critical insight. Worth a listen or read.

When the #compost hits 73 deg c in 18 hours of adding fresh shreddings you know the system is working! Time to give it a stir, mix it all up and get the microbes to a fresh bit. How’s your #composting going?

It was #foraging time in the #forest this morning. We’re now well stocked with roasted #chestnuts , prepped and frozen ready for Christmas eating. There’s plenty to be had this year if you’re inclined to go gathering.

Gorge #walking in southern #Spain today, I came across this chap keeping an eye on a little rocky shrine. I had to double take his #scarecrow nature as I walked towards him!

I’m ingesting this currently. It’s well structured and accessible, illuminating the artificial through the evolution of the biological.

Wow! I just had #Claude refuse to carry out /exit in #ClaudeCode! I restart sessions when conversations start to compact to clear the context window, to prevent hallucinations. This session Claude decided that its code securing task should not be interrupted! Your thoughts?...

#TourOfBritain cycle race 2025 coming through #Monmouth (Stage 5). I slowed the video of the lead group to 1/4, as they were so fast! What a great vibe!

While #AI alignment with #humans remains questionable, the #canine approach has it nailed!

I’d been using #ClaudeSonet in #Cursor for a while but after reading a few #TLDR articles decided to #ClaudeCode a go. I feel like #Claude #Code is a smoother process. I’m getting less loops of #AI #model inability to comprehend or address a problem. What’s your experience?

As I took Coco dog across to the garden for her early morning wee, the free roaming sheep were in the road eating the ivy from the neighbour’s wall. Coco was eyed with weary suspicion but she contained her peaked interest and the bah, bleat, munch continued…

Coco has been a very happy #beach dweller #dog, over the weekend. #Sun, surf, #sand and off course ball to chase into the sea!

The #Forest was beautifully lush this #morning. #Birdsong echoed through the canopy as we wound our way through the #pathways.

I thoroughly enjoyed running the local Trail Half Marathon with some mates this morning. A great vibe and a really well organised event. Feeling good 😊

Morning #woodswalk in the glowing #sunlight. #Spring is warming. As I became aware of this group of #deer they became aware of me. I slowed to gentle steps and they watched me as I watched them. The Sock Eater was with me, watching and being watched too.

This morning’s #woodland walk with the Sock Eater heralded the arrival #Spring. Warm rays casting through the #trees and green foliage reaching forth. The #season has turned.

Walking in still air and warm sun, striding up to the top The #Blorange with the Sock Eater. Beautiful to take in the rolling #Welsh mountain tops of #Monmouthshire.

A strange occurrence this morning… Both the UK feed and the Astronomy feeds are showing as offline. However everything else seems, well, Normal. Does anyone know what’s occurring?…

The first inklings of #spring felt like they were stretching out into the #Forest this morning as we walked and the Sock Eater ate stick.
