This is one of the most terrifying interviews I’ve ever seen. The slow reveal of the mental landscape at work here. If you don’t end up thinking we should stop these people with as much force as we can muster, I’d be very surprised.

Ah yes, a floor design that looks like spilt blood. Just what you want in a hospital.

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Just sent a Whatsapp message to a business and got an immediate AI-generated reply, the gist of which was "Would you like us to connect you to a human who can deal with this?" What is the point of that?

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.
This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.

Ben Wishaw can act like he's a talking fucking bear from Peru doesn't mean he is one.
Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study.
The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA

One of the advantages of reading a book (In One Ear by Simon Raymonde) by someone who runs a music label is that you get loads of new band recommendations. Currently enjoying this Danish lot very much. tidal.com/track/703026...

Two kids persuaded the head teacher that they’d “written a song” and he let them perform it in assembly. The song was a keyboard ‘funk’ preset with them repeating the words “electro chicken” in vocoder voices for five minutes.
Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”
Some dancers once came to our school once and did a routine to Uptown Girl in the middle of assembly. I've still no idea why.

The military bloat of the massive SUVs on the school run is getting ridiculous. You're there to take a child home for tea, not transport a pallet of shrinkwrapped banknotes through the fall of Basra.

Young colleagues refer to travel and accommodation arrangements as "T & A". I had to explain to them why this made me giggle. youtu.be/FhsFZDrRvoM?...

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.
