Things AI Should be Used for, But Isn't: #9001 - Making my AR Pokemon react to my IRL cat.

Today, in "Random Cool Things I Got Fascinated By", I found an ENORMOUS website full of actual information that doesn't try to sell me anything! www.essentialvermeer.com It's well written enough that even if you don't care about Vermeer, you will.

Handy cut out and keep guide to global trade choke points from @economist.com Especially useful they have plotted share of trade v added travel distance if blocked. Shows why Hormuz is so disruptive! economist.com/briefing/202...

I tried to put in a report on Copilot automatically flagging as pornography ANY content that includes women, and asking that future iterations of their guidelines remember that women also exist and like to make pictures featuring women like them. My post was flagged as porn and deleted. :(

Ruin a book by adding 'somehow' to the opening line. "The sky was somehow the colour of a television set, somehow tuned to a channel that was dead somehow."

@espressocat.bsky.social As you are dead, I brought you some restful and amusing pictures:

Uh huh.

The Games from Ireland event is underway on Steam now featuring many incredible games: store.steampowered.com/sale/Gamesfr... To celebrate the event we've put together an Irish pronunciation guide for The Séance of Blake Manor: store.steampowered.com/news/app/139...

If it turns out this is just a convention appearance, a podcast or something else that's less than the full THE SHOW IS BACK, I think some people may die of dismay. For the one person who doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXRv...

If the US government can force Tencent to divest its shares in US games companies, why can't we make Thames Water fuck off without paying them £84 billion for wrecking our environment?

Apparently, those who were not friends to Genesis P. Orridge mostly called him Exodus K. Ornflakes.

It's amazing that a Labour right apparatchik like Lucy Powell, firmly committed to the third way privatisation of her dying party, seems unable to stop being publicly owned.

To my media frands! We're working on something hella dope with Spooky Doorway's latest addition to The Darkside Detective game. If you're a fan of point and click, retro adventure games with a horror/comedic twist - then hit me up! I'll be reaching out to y'all shortly. Shares are appreciated!💖

I forgot my vitamins and calcium for a couple of days and now I have no bones. *flubbers away sadly*

I notice many homes from The Sims 3 have been shoved through AI and are now being represented in online magazines - and a dodgy real estate agent or two - as real places.

Today, Claude posted a job ad in my property inspector; that must be great when it happens at work. Then just now, it gave me a really well written answer to a question I had! Which I wrote myself a couple of years ago. It even linked to my own Reddit post.

Last night I dreamed I was working first line tech support. For gentlemen's moustaches.

Actual junior role, albeit internship

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Zack Polanski demands Palantir be removed from £240m NHS data contract — awarded without tender. Links to Peter Mandelson + serious concerns over surveillance & data misuse. “The stench of corruption runs through this government.” Urges Wes Streeting to ditch the deal.

I'm a supporter of the lead-crime hypothesis and want to remind people: 1) Recent studies have indicated that the maximum safe level of lead in drinking water is HALF what it was thought to be. 2) Nearly EVERY water supplier in the USA does not even meet the CURRENT standards for lead. Links ⬇️

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

I might have just made a good point in the AI debate, so posting it here to increase the chance of someone being able to weaponise it to protect the rights of real creators.

Hello, hello beautiful people! I've just finished doing THAT crucial task in the life of an illustrator, also known as ✨updating my portfolio✨! It would be very amazing if you could help me spread it around, especially in the #kidlit📚 community! Thank you, sm!! mirtomastroieni.portfolio.site/about

Bruce, Billy... All we need now is for New Model Army to do a one-off

Zach Polanski went and gave a notice to the current CEO of Palantir, telling him that if he doesn't get his company out of our NHS data, we will make his company's life hell until he does. This might lead to some voluntary actions, which I'll relay in big letters for anyone interested.

slate.com/life/2026/01... Once again, the thing with AI at the moment is that it doesn't really work. It's not fit for purpose and shouldn't have been released. But they released it anyway because one of the problems is that there wasn't enough training material. So they need your work too.

I may not recover from reading this for a while. 😁

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Well, this is horrifying. And I don't just mean the picture. The whole point of the Palantir in LotR is that it's not safe to use because Sauron can manipulate what you see. Yet we have placed the UK's entire infrastructure in the hands of an agent of a kind of hostile (USA) power.

For anyone protesting at the moment, I highly recommend wearing masks. Ideally, the same masks. Masks don't just hide your identity, though yes, they will photograph you and track you down if they can.

#ProbablyAutistic people from history: Die Hausbuch der Mendelschen Zwölfbrüderstiftung exists because someone decided they needed to make a list of the former profession of everyone who lived in two almshouses in Nurnberg, and then draw pictures of them and their tools.
