This is the political economic trade-off in our space: politics (time devoted to critiquing AI, developing policies for handling it) vs. pleasure (reading and teaching literature). And that’s what AI, along with every other bureaucratic incursion, ends up taking away from us.

I have obtained a special exemption for my wife so that she can come earlier, but this is still quite isolating when it's a two-month stay!

I also remain troubled by my muscle spasms and tremors. Honestly, they are strong enough that I accidentally throw my book or phone.

This piece talks about 'customer satisfaction' in hospitals. Hmm. You can measure some of this, but, presumably, they don't ask those who died. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/oct/03/andy-burnham-regulation-public-services-nhs
Burnham must remember: more regulation is not the best way to improve public services | Phillip Inman
In the NHS as in the private sector, the measure of success should be customer satisfaction and not just box-ticking
