Good news although I think the reason he's going after the #bbc is to distract attention from the #epsteinfiles.

What the hell's it got to do with being #woke FFS?

I still think abstracts are a good idea for long articles. I asked ChatGPT to summarise yours, one of the first useful AI queries I've ever made.

Reading your article now but, fuck me, I thought I wrote some long bleedin' articles!

Have you ever considered abstracts for people (like me) with short attention spans?

I just thought it was amusing but, if you want accuracy, its big brother, the #Commodore64 / #C64, is on record as the best selling desktop computer of all time so the #spectrum can do one 🤣

Technically, I suppose my first program (Lunar Lander, text version) was a Dec Prime mainframe using paper tapes FFS but yeah, same, VIC20 was my first. I even wrote a 6502 machine code word processor (of sorts!). It probably wasn't but it sure felt like a golden age back then.

Yes, I agree also far too many people just seem to accept what AI says as fact without checking what they say themselves.
