Google’s AI results in search are: 1) Usually factually inaccurate. 2) Often hallucinations. 3) Annoying. An example of AI for the sake of AI.

Big news this morning on zonal pricing 👇

Surprise visitor watching telly in my living room earlier… totally unfazed.

Must have missed this job ad.

I’m seeing Tunnock’s Teacakes. #Nasa

This sets quite the precedent.

Late to the party but #Shrinking on Apple TV is 👌

Giving this a bump for UK fans of The Office.

Wandering around #Copenhagen

Back in #Copenhagen and it’s as beautiful as last time. I do love this place.

I can’t help but think the symptoms here are more related to inattention due to modern day distractions/doomscrolling than noise-cancelling headphones. Even the writer notes that very little is understood of the condition this is being blamed on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If they shot The Office (UK) title sequence in 2025 in the EXACT same location, this is what it would look like: youtu.be/F4mGWx4qZeA?...

⚠️WEATHER SAFETY ALERT⚠️ Storm Éowyn is due to bring strong winds across the UK tomorrow. Make sure you stay safe and follow our Prepare, Care, Share safety advice, share this content with others and visit powercut105.com for more information

Also in The Sunday Times: UK entrepreneur Philip Johnston’s firm Lumen Orbit (based in the US) plans to launch a prototype space-based data centre into orbit in May. If successful, the firm hopes data centres powered by the Sun & cooled by space, costing 0.02 cents per kWh to power, could follow.

Reading about biohacking in The Sunday Times. A gym offering a $10k/month membership will create an AI twin of you, & then an app tells you what to eat & drink, & when to sleep. Members have access to a “float therapy room” which “promises” 45 mins deep sleep. Are we living a Sci-Fi horror movie?

Instavolt etc calling for govt to make it easier to install signs advertising #EV chargers on motorways Rules require petrol/diesel refilling for a sign to be installed 🤦‍♂️ Govt response? They’re adding EV signs to 13 facilities by Apr 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ There’s 73,699 EV charging points on Britain’s roads! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

⚠️❄️ An amber weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for parts of the UK this weekend. Check the @metoffice.bsky.social website to see if your area is affected and follow our Prepare, Care, Share advice. 👉 t.co/dfzr1bsvuI

Reading that travel by train from London to Edinburgh will soon be quicker than flying. According to @thetimes.com this is due to upgrades to the East Coast Mainline completed in 2022. Why will it take until nearly 2026 to implement? Arguments between rail operators, it seems. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Customers first?

The Economist takes a fascinating look at ten implausible-sounding scenarios that could happen next year. From solar flares to the discovery of alien life… and animals with bank accounts being customers in the gig economy (yes, really) @economist.com www.economist.com/the-world-ah...

BBC Newsround is a rare, precious thing – a news show produced for children. It has been asking its young audience this question about COP29: "What do YOU want to ask?" And - ahead of the bots and adults trolls finding it – the questions have been heartbreaking... www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

Europe is projected to achieve the milestone of one million public EV chargers in early 2025. This year France added the most public chargers. But the country with most public chargers is the Netherlands.
