Here they are in all their tactile print glory, being hand-numbered. A print run of fifty will be available from tomorrow.

That any of the current platforms are capable of thought and not just fancy autocomplete!

Shameful that you have published this glaze for the LLM industry. AI doesn't exist, and the products that have been branded as such are little more than clever parlour tricks.

Can my graphics card feel pain? Does my printer yearn for the steppes? No. Stop being fatuous and stop gassing up "AI"

Hmm, will any of the jobs it replaces be those of the CEO? If you've appointed a good team, then 'senior decision making' seems ripe for automation...

Well quite. The smugglers’ route via Miquelon is back on for Canadian whisky...

To be fair, those Peaky Blinders used Miquelon to smuggle whisky in during prohibition. It’s about time someone cracked down on that.

Which just makes it clear that publishers have been hiding their contempt for creators for a long time. Until it was no longer useful (I.e. profitable) for them to continue to do so.

Presumably not one of the publishers currently suing OpenAI..?!

...and perhaps the Americans should show the French some gratitude for the fact they aren't still under the rule of a British king...

It's like Prohibition all over again. Can Scotland take advantage of this and see its growth rates in the US overtake those for Irish whiskey?

Not sure - that’s why I asked!
