A fantasy app for me would be something that overlayed a camera view with the dates of when buildings in view were constructed.

Been trying to work out where the narrator in War of the Worlds would have lived in Woking, which led to me finding out where HG Wells lived in Woking and, oh Herb you dog. Have decided narrator had a house on Pembroke road. Existing houses there apparently date as late as 1900 though.

Important to remember that Philipson overruled the recommendations of two relevant commons committees NOT to appoint Stephenson.

Completely untenable to have someone who talks about a minority group like this in charge of anything, let alone being the final say in matters of equality and human rights

I want to see more streamers with the "gen AI disabled" badge! After turning off "Training for Generative AI" in your settings, go to safebadge.ori.mx and confirm you are safe from gen AI training (requires Twitch authentication - alternatively put AIOptedOut or NoGenAI in your stream tags/title).

Printing the key layer of my ‘The City is my Religion’, a church built from depictions of meaningful spaces in Chicago. There are 4 more colors that’ll give it stained glass vibes; these are translucent enough to print after the black as they don’t compete with it.

I realise it's now a national pastime to complain about the Observer, but that piece about saunas in the Magazine is quite dreadful.

Sad that there isn't a disambiguation page on Wikipedia for Ken Masters. #HowardsWay #Streetfighter

As someone with more data engineering experience than I wish I had, it is my unfortunate obligation to inform you that if somebody tells you that they are doing this, you are going to need to meticulously check all their work from now on, because they are doing their job badly and cannot be trusted

I don't know who needs a real pickmeup today, but in recent court filings about the wealth owned by Andrew Tate, they indicate the Bugattis and Aston Martin he always bragged about owning... were rented. All of them.

Rather than calling for GTA 6 boycott, fired Rockstar workers urge players to support them in their legal battle against the studio by buying union merch. https://bit.ly/4gE0ARv

Love how in War of the Worlds Wells understands that if he just whips out "the flu got em" at the end it will just be Deus Ex Machina and feel cheap so he's constantly tipping the wink but we all know so are like, "yeah, Herb, we know."

Setting and reprinting something I never wanted to set and reprint again. This one makes me beg for mercy from the printing gods.

sorry but "not using LLM chatbots at all" *is* the pragmatic middle ground. you are not making a practical decision by engaging with an addictive system largely designed in ways meant to make you worse off by people who do not have your best interests in mind

I think what's funniest about AI Sloppers getting angry at Anthropic for adding watermarks to generated content is that they're probably only doing that to try and escape the AI centipede ouroboros problem.

I work at a radio station. Before the advent of AI, I listened to most of the new music we received to know if it was any good. Now, whenever I receive a song with AI-generated image, I don't even press play, I know it's gonna be crap. I don't feel even remotely guilty for it.

Went for a walk.

Loving your fit today. So unpretentious.

Writing a heartwarming romance about the Meta AI icon and the MS Edge icon finding each other.

I saw this. It's about this guy who dies and leaves 12 angry men to one of his relatives, who's like, I don't want them, I was hoping for cash, and so he sells them then finds out one is stuffed with diamonds. And the angry men have been sold on, individually, so he has to track them down and-

Today's second film was 12 Angry Men (1957). Holy fuck, that was magnificent. Easily a 5 star film and well worth not only watching, but owning and rewatching.

things are cooked, the centre cannot even; the world has entered its anarchy era

Don't worry if you didn't get the GCSEs you wanted. I didn't, and then when I was in my late forties I inherited a hotel.

Raining like it's suddenly remembered how.

Cast can also mean throw, you see.
