A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Got to love Maths....
For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

When OpenAI’s new O1 system was led to believe it would be shut down, it attempted to disable an oversight mechanism– and when it found memos about its replacement, it tried copying itself and overwriting its core code. …..yup…here we go www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
