On the way home I was hankering after a sausage roll from Cairn Lodge. Had to ask OH to check petrol levels half way. We looked to be running out so I drove super slow for an hour, he praised me for my sensible driving and I didn't have the heart to say I just wanted a sausage roll.

Went to my mum's for NYD, said I was bringing starter for her. Meant for sourdough. When I said I was hungry she suggested we ate the starter I bought. I had to make flatbread pretty quick. Like in 3 hours.

absolutely LOVE this preprint on tricking LLMs using poetry: arxiv.org/abs/2511.15304 Like magic spells, you need to use the correct pentameter or the demon won't listen

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

🚨 New article 🚨 This paper in EBT cuts through the hype and the fury on AI and LLMs. (Have you heard of PLMs? No? I hadn't either.) Kudos to the authors for a sober and informative presentation on the application of language models in systematic review. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora. These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

Again for those at the back. There are lots of people (including me) that are finding it very hard to get work. This is in part to the places that used to pay artists now wanking off to AI. It aint cool or funny. It's damaging to the planet & to the welfare of real people. #fuckai #AIShite
