Once more, with feeling: 1. AI is a scam 2. The bubble will burst and soon 3. When it does it will tank the global economy

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

I mean, I think you should just assume that all your past and future articles are being used in an LLM training set anyway, with or without your permission. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oooh yeah, this sucks.

You mother fucker I have never once wanted to upload to OneDrive, just let me attach the file to the email

IT'S HERE. I am legit overjoyed to be unleashing this shit on the world: Origin Story Season 7 has arrived. For the first time, we're doing an entire season as one story. This is the history of socialism, from the French Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall linktr.ee/originstoryp...

Implementing a search function in Outlook that actually works is apparently the hardest problem in computer science.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

NEWS! Nation capable of spotting spurious link between paracetamol and autism still baffled by obvious link between guns and mass shootings

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Remember that academic event where you ended up debating ideas with colleagues, new friends, and even the speakers, long into the evening? The British Neuropsychiatry Association teaching weekend is one of those and it'll happen Dec 12-14 in Oxford. I'll be there. Do come and join us!

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Reform are filth. They represent hatred, extremism, ignorance and irresponsibility. They'd make us a wretched vicious hateful little island. If people don't stand up to this, they won't stand up to anything.

Seriously, if there's no response to this then I've lost all hope in this government.

Reform want to break up my family and send my wife back to Portugal. She's been here 20 years and works for the NHS. Just absolutely monstrous, evil shit.

As a middle-aged man one of my biggest lifestyle issues is what to do with all the jackets and shoes that I've accumulated.
