@foozzzball.bsky.social one for you!
The government would never propose changing the law so that people have the right to steal your belongings unless you have applied to opt out of being burgled. Or expect you to be responsible for checking if burglars are using your stolen items. How can it be ok to suggest for intellectual property?
Following the news about Meta's mass theft of writers' work to train AI, we're joining the #DoTheWriteThing day of action today
- Make a noise on social media
- Write to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy

the description of a computer powerful enough to play itself at chess 9 million times in one second, did not summon awe as expected, but rather an image of the end of the world; a burned planet where this device alone was still working, bunkered grimly in solipsistic forever tournament

We have to define what we mean by “AI.” Because the model that advanced our understanding of protein folding and the LLMs that churn out the nonsense slop that fills the internet both get called “AI.” And the latter is co-opting the usefulness of the former to create this exactly perception.
Do you think AI can be boycotted out of existence? What benefits are there to not using it? There are benefits to being thoughtful to how you are using it, yes. But rejecting it is like...I don't know...rejecting a life saving vaccine. Accept it or die a slow death.

Annual plea: if you're putting up Christmas lights in a public area or window facing the street, please consider setting them to 'steady' not 'flash'! December is a nightmare for those of us with photosensitive epilepsy

What are we saying instead of tweeting here?? I vote 'fluttering'. Anyway, follow Jo if you for some reason want live-fluttering of our days out (also because he's quite witty actually)
Back on the Old Site, I was running a nearly-2 year long 🧵 on our attempts to visit National Trust properties by public transport (x.com/politic_anim...). Time to resurrect it here!
It’s the gloomiest of gloomy late November days and we are off on a diverted Southeastern train deep into the Weald.
