2026 word of the year: Interregnum

This is fantastic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM_q...

Getting hard to watch a lot of TV shows and movies as they all start to use LED Volumes as backgrounds … kind of uncanny valley for the real world. The tech is just not there yet. Lots starting to blur background too to mask.

So AnPost has no customer support whatsoever… insane (phone lines and WhatsApp are not actually visible)

Mani ... no ... the sound of my youth.

Please help, I've fallen down the Temu screaming goat throw pillow rabbithole

AWS: Here's all the tools you need to build AI Agents... Amazon-dot-com: Do not dare point your agents at our shop!

They need to work on bitrate

ugh ... arstechnica.com/security/202...

Amazing footage of Falcon 9 fuel dump over Ireland this evening.

AI collapsing transaction costs has huge implications ... www.nber.org/system/files...

Too soon :)

Not a big fan of Dwarkesh, he tends to anthropomorphize AI and gets hung up on AGI, but listening to Andrej speak is always great - a solid dose of reality in the space as usual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXUZ...

One of Ireland’s two candidates for president a) voted to seal the mother and baby home records, b) doesn’t think trans women are women, c) supports hare coursing as a ‘sport’ …. So wait - that’s cruelty to women and cruelty to animals !

New podcast. Remembering the legendary and irreplaceable Manchán Magan who died last week. And revisiting our first chat where he told me his life story. ❤️ open.spotify.com/episode/1BxM...

Devastating

... and I thought we were going to get away lightly in the end.

Just like the movie "Until the end of the world" where the story shows people going insane because they get addicted to spending their wake time watching their own dreams - AI models too collapse when trained on recursively generated data :-) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can LLMs identify where a photo was taken? And how accurate are they? We put some AI models to the test... www.youtube.com/shorts/tUBm4...

Crazy this is even exploratory.The EU Greens will be remembered in history for holding back the best technology to stave climate change. Being anti-nuclear weapons is noble, being anti-nuclear is utterly stupid and future generations will look back very unkindly at how all this handled.

ugh

Some good news ...

Modern Ireland can't be somewhere that Maria Steen is a possible President :(

Was happy to pick this one up given my work deep work with the SageMaker ecosystem on some personal projects, wondering if AWS will create a professional level AI cert at some point? www.credly.com/badges/eaee4...

Other than the heavy handedness on the Peter Pan stuff - it has been pretty perfect, absolutely bursting with easter eggs and references in nearly every frame.

Economists and financiers and bankers and capitalists have absolutely no idea what's going on

C’mon Google, release nano-banana already

This is one of the most important papers in quite some time... arxiv.org/abs/2504.17033

So ChatGPT-5 is basically the previous models, tuned and you can trigger which one is used based on careful prompting... That seems to come through if you ask it to think vs. not etc.

Happy Don't Be A Dick Day, to all who celebrate. dontbeadickday.com

'Move fast and break things' as a new Leadership Principal ...

There's @djfrancois.bsky.social of this parish. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Claude seems to be having some issues ... API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Overloaded"}}

Grok 4 hits rank .. 66th at best … Goodhart’s law strikes again 😂

Haha ... spot on ...

When you're using Claud Code and this happens ...

Like dragging an anchor ...

AI Observability from Grafana .. cool stuff - but this is the basic start - you can imaging where this quickly leads: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETZn...

“Pay per crawl” … epic

I ran the "Velvet Sundown - Dust and Silence" album in both CD quality and 24bit/96kHz. Both passed transcode detection. Every single track returned AI detection with 100% confidence on my AI detection algorithm chain. I have a module that detects which model was used, and all of them were Suno.

If you go to Amazon SageMaker it's now a landing page for 'Amazon SageMaker...NextGen' with a banner saying Amazon SageMaker AI (formerly named Amazon SageMaker) is still the place to build, train, and deploy ML Models..... huh?!. One of the most important AWS services is a hot mess of confusion.

This is why we will see Anthropic/Claude surpass OpenAI: www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/aws...

Today's Air India crash another reminder of Air India 182 which crashed off Valentia Island in 1985. Will never forget as a kid seeing the local boats bring whatever they could find ashore. Also personally finding parts when fishing with my Grandfather en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Ind...

And this is why AWS will be a big winner in AI in the future: Resilience/Reliability.
