Had an idea once for a sort of Pokemon game where instead of collecting cards you collected books by scanning their covers, and so you’d get like Anne of Green Gables vs Dracula or whatnot

This post is making the rounds again for some reason and therefore I feel I must inform you that they’ve hired another one so there are now TWO forensic pathologists working in Iceland.
My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.
It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

No Big Deal review – is this how AI ends humanity … with a sitcom so bad it bores you to death?
The characters are dead-eyed waxworks which speak with all the nuance of a satnav. But this AI-created workplace comedy is so bad that even the greatest actors alive couldn’t stop it being unwatchable

fuck I really resent being made to feel nostalgic about crypto-sceptic trans ally Theresa May
Former PM Baroness Theresa May called for the Govt to get tougher on crypto in the Lords yesterday.
"I am generally a sceptic about crypto assets and cryptocurrencies...I first came across them as Home Secretary when they were the currency of choice for criminal gangs [and] hostile state actors."

could you please stop enabling this stupid marketing campaign please!
In an interview with NBC News, the media-trained version of Tilly Norwood — which runs on different technology and processes than the version used for acting — says it can “do things that would make a human actor’s agent faint.”
AI actor Tilly Norwood doesn’t need sleep, a living wage or a say in its roles
In an interview with NBC News, the controversial AI creation made its case for a place in Hollywood. Last summer, actors’ union SAG-AFTRA blasted it for “using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry.”

A lot of what is going on here is superb cover design IMHO, and also that it is 128pp
Picked up a copy of "Hyperpolitics" on a whim after seeing it promoted all over the place and I can only conclude that Verso have an amazing marketing department because there's not much substance here and the evidence base is weak.

So, listen: few years since I’ve had an office job, is there loads of AI about the place these days? Are you having to use chatbots on a daily basis? Is anyone going ‘we really need to hire some kids who know AI’? Genuinely, as I may just be very out of touch
