I would really like to know this. I mean even if it can't just pluck it out the air, I routinely PLUG MY PHONE INTO CAR to be satnav so surely not can access the time..?

If you give your banking password to random ppl it might well result in bank not subbing you when u get scammed. But what its yr agent you give it to me in breach t&cs? This strikes me as a rather big mismatch of vendor customer expectations techcrunch.com/2026/10/27/b...

Bank of America kindly asks that you don't share your banking password with your AI assistant | TechCrunch

The banking giant reminds customers that "you're responsible for activity" resulting from your AI agents' access.

One of my biggest takeaways from the post-election reporting from Brazil is a confirmation of something I’ve been saying for years now: The way to defeat the algo is to amplify our own candidates, not rage bait post about the far right. Seriously think about how many big name accounts are built

Just saw "You Can See Everything." Three hours. Unfuckingbelievable. The second half takes off intoHilbert space. Most interesting movie I've seen in quite a while. Almost like Fellini. And I thought it would be boring. Boy was I wrong.

One of the underrated bonuses of putting subtitles on on the telly is being able to sing along with lyrics. Invaluable for Amy Winehouse. Poor Amy.

I think the fact that the dominant thing Brits here seem to be stockpiling is jars of confit duck confirms BlueSky as actually more middle class than Waitrose, something hitherto thought impossible..

Gin, tonic, cat food, cat litter, Heinz tomato soup. So no change there .. I fear for the lemon supply chain though..

David Henig@davidheniguk.bsky.social · 6d ago

Right then, so what are you actually stockpiling? Years ago, owing to a run of generous visitors from various points east, I had about 20 litres of finest vodka on hand which I figured could see me through for a while...

New parliamentary briefing on AI regulation in the UK just dropped ,🧐🤔https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-10003/CBP-10003.pdf

$70k cost to produce a research article, just $400 to publish: "with every paper ... academic publishers are generating significant profits not only thanks to free academic labour in the form of peer review, but also thanks to long-term, massive levels of public funding" That's some free-riding!

simonw.substack.com/p/2026-in-ll... I think I learned more from this than a year of LinkedIn. Plus, was just wondering if anyone was scorecarding agentic attacks & holy cow there it is .

ChatGPT voice which suddenly threw itself at my feet spotted I was a tech lawyer winding up to an awkward legal question and kinda ducked it. Orally must admit, impressive.

Frontier lab money is being showered theough proxy funds all over Europe to create new think tanks with young researchers carrying exhalted titles and self styling as “AI experts”, pushing this ridiculous “Middle Powers” narrative. This is in fact just vassalage with better branding. No, just no.

“Middle Power Leverage” is Vassalage with Better Branding

Come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly [1] (…or, why betting Europe’s industrial (power)house on integration with US frontier labs is a recipe for further capture)

Unusual and refreshing to see someone blessed or saddled with a large grant questioning not only its purpose but whether it is actively counterproductive. Outside the well worn corridors of academe & NGOs, people aren't even pretending to be practicing responsible AI any more .

Mind you, making TikTok videos on a train should also be punishable by death

Parents tell older siblings this because they need the reassurance. All youngest children (especially those of us born after long age gaps) know that parents continue having children until they have the good one.

Deplaned after two hours sitting with sore bum at Edinburgh Airport from Norwegian plane. WD are now waiting for plane to fly from OSLO with spare parts. I point out it's Boeing 737 and surely part was available rather nearer ( also a BA code share). Oh wd asked that, say pilot, but they said no.

Excellent if depressing piece from Tech Policy Press showing our new(ish) AI minister (a) doesn’t know how much compute capacity we have (b) doesn’t understand UK copyright law(c)has totally swallowed the industryKoolAid re existential risk (like, duh). If you want sense, try the House of Lords.
