A simple reminder of algorithms just not getting it comes every time someone famous dies who I liked. I click on tribute posts in sympathy, but what the algorithm thinks I like is just posts about people dying. My feed soon fills with random sad announcements of the passing of unknown people.

Worth a read for all the philosophy and religious studies teachers, not to mention psychology teachers, who still peddle Pinker to their students: www.thenerve.news/p/steven-pin...
From celebrity intellectual to anti-woke outlaw: how Steven Pinker lost his way
The pop psycholgist’s new book seems to betray a lurking fear of others’ criticism – about his Epstein links, his manosphere admirers and his discredited former field of study, writes Virginia Heffern...

What’s your personal aesthetic? Whatever AI generates for me. OK — yuck!
There’s a very specific subset of Aston Villa and AEW fans tonight wishing we’d signed Matt Jackson too 😂
This was not the start to the season me, or any other Aston Villa fan, was hoping for.

Is it more weird that train companies think grown adults need to be reminded to take all their belongings with them when getting off the train, or that, despite the reminder at every station, some of us still leave things behind anyway?
Why can’t the internet offer advice that doesn’t sound like a scolding?
This is something I hope is read by every school leader currently peddling the bullshit lie unthinkingly to their staff and students that if they don’t get used to using AI for everything right now they will be left behind in the job markets of the future. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
The AI jobs apocalypse probably isn’t coming anytime soon
Artificial intelligence may not deliver on its promise of vast economic opportunity at a price that humanity is willing to pay

A lovely afternoon and evening catching up with two former students, still thinking deeply about the world. ☺️
Saw a guy in a UK Subs t-shirt walk out of the theatre early into the first act and never come back. We left at the interval. I guess Chekhov isn’t for punks. At least not this production. 😂
“Is there anything worse than…” Yes. Genocide. Always genocide.

Managed to clear my “to do” list, even though it cost me the first day of the summer holidays. Not a bad feeling to not have that deadline hanging over me anymore though. And certainly not a bad feeling to not have to think about work again now for the rest of the summer.
