I’m back in the North East this evening after spending three days working in London.
For any Americans reading this, I can confirm that I was mugged four times, attacked by a vicious gang of Corgis, murdered twice, and converted to Islam by the Mayor. If only I had a 🔫

It’s a slippery slope to trust AI 100%
If you are using #GenAI in the workplace, think of it as a very bright, inexperienced placement student.
What sensitive information would you share?
What decisions would you allow it to make?
What comms would you allow it to send out on your behalf?

#JoolsHolland has introduced me to some brilliant music over the years.
But…
Can the BBC find a better way to present new music on TV? Wrapping an emerging act with a plinky plonk honky tonk blues number, a heritage artist, and yesterday’s indie has been the default for years.

I’m watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi and it’s as awful as I remember it being. Not sure I’ll make it to the end credits.
Space horses. Something something codes. Vague hand waving about Jedi lore.
Flying effing Princess Leia.
What a mess of a movie.

I’m going out on a limb and speculating that the background to the horrific attack on the LNER train is not something that the police should be blamed for, but rather a sorry tale of a decade or more of underfunding of services, poor socio-economic conditions and a crippled mental health system.
