Spotted at #EnniskillenComicFest: a door to nowhere on the side of a building. Perfect for dramatic exits, plot holes, or characters who definitely aren’t making it to issue #2. 🦸‍♂️🚪💀 #CertainDeath #ComicFestMysteries

My birthday always reminds me about the good ones that are no longer with us. Gone but not forgotten. This little story is about resilience, #Ai, #Data, and having the tenacity to carry on with a smile right up until the end. #tedx youtu.be/Z4RhoRW1Lso?...

The one where we find ourselves in the glorious Irish town of Enniskillen, on my birthday, to partake in their annual comic fest… the perfect day.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this NYT article about programming work at Amazon (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/business/amazon-ai-coders.html) because it perfectly illustrates how “productivity” trends in AI in the workplace benefit so few.

Tim Sweeney just casually dumping on the creative talent of anybody who’s ever worked for him.

Holy smoke… a data-science & ML team just followed one of my ethics frameworks to the letter and a) that’s just awesome, and b) they said the output and data-set was significantly improved because of it… they learned something, and I feel great. It’s a good day for big-data when this gets out.

"I’m not interested in reading something that nobody wrote. I read because I want to understand how somebody sees something, and there’s no ‘somebody’ inside [AI]. It’s just a collage made from lots of different people’s words." - @emilymbender.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

If your industry can't survive without exploiting people, then you're in the wrong industry.

Tired of the lazy, ageist narrative that older Londoners “hate fun.” Protesting Brockwell Park’s festivals isn’t about stopping joy, it’s about stopping the ecological, economic and social vandalism sold as entertainment. This isn’t a NIMBY issue. It’s a community one.

It’s time the leaders of the generative AI movement—Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Emad Mostaque, and Jensen Huang etc, shift their focus. Before continuing to study what makes us replaceable, they need to spend more time studying what makes us human.

Artificial Intelligence will only truly rival humanity the day it stops trying to perfect us and starts understanding why we’re imperfect. To replace us, it must first feel for us. Empathy, not analytics, is the final frontier.

I would take a “tough on crime and tough on immigration” party seriously if they made some attempt to explain how expensive the state capacity to do all the enforcement would be. Prisons, 24-hour courts, armed police and naval blockades: pricey.
