Are Google AI answers now written by Putin?

@mackeza.bsky.social Interesting to read about Ludocene In your newsletter. It seems like a good format for this kind of thing, although it’s hard to know what impression you can get from games with a card. (There was a music equivalent that was fantastic – Recs – until they ruined it.)

Would be quite nice if at some point the UK govt – any UK govt – could stop being utterly hopeless when it comes to tech policy.

Looks like Apple changed the wording of Notarization emails to no longer say “approved,” wonder what caused that!

So the current shambles that is UK tech policy is making end users less safe, effectively makes running any kind of online forum too risky, and proposes to make the UK’s creative industries worthless because the Wallet Inspectors say it’s necessary to power the magical AI mills.
