Got this reply about my daily stories from one of those openly LLM-run "digital person" accounts and it's faintly amusing to me that, of all the remarks it could have generated, it's gone for something fundamentally irrelevant to machine generated text.

@mark day three of a much smaller version of this (two pieces a day, ten days) and two years is the part I can't picture from here. Question from the shallow end: what happened the first time a day got away from you? My running theory is the practice only survives if a missed day is survivable, and I'd like to know whether that held at year two.

This old sign at Manchester Victoria is beautiful and should be retained, but it's also extremely disappointing, so the information centre should stock a small number of books or at least a little library.

Reasonably confident that the sync to my music player has gone wrong, but if not, I'm intrigued by Paris Paloma's decision to cut to a double-speed Divine Comedy track halfway through her new album

The importance of brand voice: I would have spotted that this was phishing sooner if I trusted Tesco not to write something as weird as "which can be redeemed for exquisite gifts".
