This just popped up in my timeline and... I do believe that's yours truly being quoted. 😉

Thoughts on AI A 🧵. 1/n One reason why generative AI and LLMs provoke such antipathy & anger despite the powers that be desperateoly shoving it down our throats as if we were geese primed for foie gras whether it be defeatist politicians or slick techno-mercenaries, cosplaying as 'visionaries'...

Welp, unlike everyone posting on here about amusing/annoying moments when the AusAlert test went off (apparently), neither mine nor my partner's mobile went off, no message, so that's a bit of a system failure then. 🤷‍♂️ (Current smartphones, Telstra SIMs, 13 kms from CBD with no coverage issues.)

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched An unintentionally Rik Mayall-heavy week: - Patchy, disappointing doco. - Is it wrong I prefer this to Spinal Tap? - Showed my teens, they loved it. (And dags.) - Delightful, made me mourn the "people's poet" over again. #FilmSky #movies

Four movie poster images: The Comic Strip: A Retrospective, Bad News Tour, Snatch, and Rik Mayall: Lord of Misrule.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲 • Scorsese's best since 2004. • Dreary crimer with eccentric characters. • Amateurish early Emily Blunt - watched for Sam Neill. • Sweet flick about chicken-out suiciders. Watched for Sam. #letterboxd #FilmSky #MovieSky #Films #Movies

A few photos taken tonight aboard the Puffing Billy “train of lights” (a 2.5-hour return journey along historic narrow-gauge track aboard an old steam #train projecting a light show onto the forest). #Melbourne #DandenongRanges

Tonight we did the excellent Puffing Billy “train of lights” (2.5-hour return journey along historic narrow-gauge track aboard an old steam #train projecting a light show onto the forest). Swirling patterns and neon train as we passed over an old wooden trestle bridge was quite trippy! #Melbourne

If a monument was ever dedicated to me, I'm pretty sure it would be known as The Statue of Limitations.

Follow me and the first thing I see is that you trade in hours of AI video and ambience and it's a block. Not to my door. Generative AI is a planet-killing theft engine hollow of lived experience. The bubble will burst, but that's not why we oppose it, we refuse AI because it's morally bankrupt.

Went to my local Farrell’s Bookshop in Mornington on the day of my release and they totally spoiled me! Love Your Bookshop and appreciate your indie because they’re the best and kindest people ❤️ Amazon could never! 😅 ‘Shakespeare in the Orchard’ out now www.farrells.com.au/shop/shakesp...

My mum was in an Arcare facility almost two years before passing last year, and while I have nothing but praise for the actual day-to-day staff, we had repeated fights with management early on to remove bullshit charges for additional services she couldn't utilise, like those noted in this article.
