Simple solution to the publishing AI crisis. We just need a law saying any passage, quote, or other text produced by AI or with AI assistance must prominently include the words "Bleep blorp."

I keep reading how Trump's mental enfeeblement makes him a danger to himself and others. We've had a lot of 'others'. Can we have a bit of 'himself'?

Met a weird little guy last night. Bezzle Bob, something like that? Wanged on about a great reckoning in which our greedy throats would be stuffed with the rancid offal and foul leavings of the lowliest beasts. Sounded rubbish to me but he was all excited so I said I was too and he got really mad?

My coping strategy: mentally replace 'AI' with 'the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy.' 'Let's speed this up using the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy.' 'As always with the boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy, make sure you check twice.' 'Start again. The boss's 8 year-old nephew, Jimmy, fucked it up.'

Would be good if performers, musicians, writers, and other creative workers insisted on organisers not using genAI for advertising festivals, shows and events they're taking part in, in solidarity with visual artists, because it's absolutely everywhere at the moment. We need to stick together!

Being Irish, alternately looking west to America and east to Britain, is like being a spectator at a tennis match where both of the players are naked and drunk.

Me when I was 25, imagining being 55: ‘I’ll probably winter at my place in Antibes. Get away from the paparazzi for a while.’ Me actually being 55: ‘Ooh, Battlefield 6 Season 3 starts tomorrow. I hope there’s a new gun I like.’

There's a screenshot going around of authors admitting to AI use and one of them appears to write hardcore monsterfucking fics and this makes me sad. If you're not writing monsterfucking fics for the sheer, genuine love of the game then what the hell are we even doing here?

My least favourite type of post is ‘Oh, I see, last week you were all experts on [thing that was in the news then] and now you’re all experts on [thing that’s in the news now].’ I rarely see anyone pretending to be an expert on anything. Let people have their reactions, for Christ’s sake. Dicks.

Of the five sitting Kerry TDs, four had fathers who were also politicians, and three have children who are now also politicians, and maybe that's not the best way to do democracy
