OpenAI has made a decision to encourage its users to form a parasocial relationship with ChatGPT. It's gross and dangerous. Also just not useful for serious use. But it will make their user's more loyal and build a dependency in a few of them.

The wonderfully cluttered Cast Courts. Reminded me a lot of the Enlightenment Room at the British Museum: similar exhibit not just of objects but _how_ those objects were originally shown 150 years ago.

Phenomenal day at the Victoria & Albert. It's as great as the British Museum but instead of singular historical works it's full of collections of terrific manufactured things. Lots of photos! Here starting with four sculptures.

Had a phenomenal dinner at Akoko, a fine dining West African restaurant in London. French cooking and saucing techniques with Senegalese, Nigerian, and Ghanaian flavors. Also lovely front of house.
Very exciting meal, one of the best I've had in years. Run by Aji […]

Last morning in Aberdeen, had a nice suburban walk to take a peek at the Rubislaw Quarry and the Johnston Gardens. Aberdeen seems quite livable, nice houses and mellow traffic.

Also some good museums..
* The Maritime Museum (aka "our friend, the offshore oil platform).
* Provost Skene's house with a remarkable secret Catholic ceiling
* The Aberdeen Art Gallery which has an interesting and unusual collection, particularly of glass and ceramics

A lovely day touring around central Aberdeen. Here is Marischal College, an enormous 19th century granite building. The stonework is quite delicate, almost lacey albeit with simpler shapes.

The main reason for Fraserburgh is the excellent lighthouse museum there. Perfect visit for us: lovely landscape, a bunch of lenses, and a climb up the old lighthouse itself.

Had a nice day driving to Fraserburgh, the northeast tip of Aberdeenshire. Lovely weather today, lovely scenery. And lovely people, everyone in the area has been so friendly and personal. Like the folks at Nooks and Crannies, a very old fashioned cafe. (Not […]

Celebrating two days of renting a car and successfully driving on the left every single time we turned. I'm having a mezcal negroni which is very good. Includes a pinch of salt.

Today we visited Oyne and Culsamond, two little spots 30 minutes drive west of Aberdeen. Ken's grandparents came from this part of Scotland. We saw his grandfather's home and the church we think he was baptized in. Beautiful part of the world and fun to connect to his story in this way.

Today has been 7 hours on an LNER train from London to Aberdeen. Long ride but comfortable and restful. Lots of pleasant views that are hard to photograph.

Went out to Greenwich, home of so much timekeeping and navigation research. Didn't love the observatory visit but it's lovely out there.
