You know, this is where my trust in GenAI breaks down… now that ChatGPT are monetising, finding alternatives from reviews _not_ written by GenAI is very difficult. This points to the place where trust breaks down but I haven’t nailed it yet in my own mind. Tagging #SmallWeb because can’t […]

Last year we said goodbye to the last of our fish in the garden pond. We decided to make it to wildlife pond we had lots of tadpoles as we do every year. And today I’m proud to announce the presence of Herbie, our first new-season frog.

This morning a ReformUK voter walking by me, clearly apeing Andrew Tate in his stride and aggression said, “great weather,” I responded, “beautiful.” What I should have said was, “yes, other than the long shadow of Fascism…” #couldashouldawoulda #shouldhavesaid

The thing with Mastodon is that I never get a response. If you see this post, will you start it just so that I know that you’re out there?

Can we stop with this “political elite” phrase. There’s only one political elite and that’s the Torys (and now Reform leadership). Tarring everyone in politics the same is damaging

In 2019 I met a young Meta engineer who was really fired up about wanting to change the company ‘from the inside’. She asked me why I hated her company. I said I’d just come from a place where I saw it accelerate genocide (Myanmar) and suppress democracy. She said oh at least they won’t do it […]

Are we to panic now? Is it group hysteria that I see on Mastodon? Presumably Trump voters still think that this is all going really well. He’s certainly made a lot of the changes he promised already.

Modern AI has intelligence. It absolutely does. As we start to connect it performing actions for us, it starts to have agency. I still prefer it to right-wing nutcases though. I think it's got its 'head' screwed on better 😂

I think I agree with Professor Hinton. I've understood artificial neural networks since 1989. People at work try to reassure themselves by believing that modern AI is just an 'inference engine' of statistical probabilities. i always respond to disagree but get shouted down... the power of […]

They’re building two more Energy from Waste EfW incinerators at Birmingham and Northwich. Does anyone else think that this is the wrong point in history to start burning more waste? With the M5 incinerator at Javelin Park, that’s 1 Million tons of CO2 each year. And they can’t decommission them […]
