Similar in northern England. We’ve got trees in many low-lying places, but fells, moors and peaks all devoid of them are a big part of the landscape here.

Going to throw my TV out the window
Me: “Right. Your app may crash a lot, but there’s stuff only Paramount + has that I want to watch… so, here’s a fiver. I even paid it through PayPal just like you wanted. No, Basic will do, I can live with ads. So, can I watch those shows now please?”

Artificial intelligence-created content has its uses - I’ve generated a voice with ElevenLabs and have asked Copilot to make photos for me.
They’re limited use - so for instance, a photo created for a joke. *Not* social media posts - the Glasgow Wonka Experience should be a cautionary tale on that.

Suddenly feeling quite young, which is refreshing. Regretfully this is the first major news story I recall.

“Honey came home and she caught me red-handed creeping with the girl next door. Picture this: we were both butt-naked, banging on the bathroom floor…”
Great tune, but I always thought about how uncomfortable and cold doing it on lino or tiled flooring would be. Unless they laid carpet in there…

Good choice. Also made me realise Duo is very much swings and roundabouts, the course I’m on doesn’t judge my life choices (I do that just fine by myself thank you), but it does ask me to translate banal sentences like this. 🫠

I suppose the true-to-life look of “Jumping Twat” wouldn’t quite cut the mustard.
Still, I don’t think using AI to implant Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chin into your face, and asking it to give you a leather coat straight out of “The Bill” is quite the answer. Best stick with what you know, ey Musk?…
