Just had a convo with Claude after it thanked me for explaining why its cryptic crossword answer workings were wrong (I’d asked it how an answer was reached.) No idea why I felt the need to explain. Am glad the AI overlords are “hopefully” going to be peaceful though. #AI #crypticcrosswords

Protests in the 1980s had a different vibe didn’t they? (From the ODT’s “Within Living Memory” section today. It was a 1983 protest about the council’s secret pigeon-poising operation. Handbags and sensible shoes compulsory.)
