OTD in 2022 Hitchins made a genuine appeal for an authoritative statement about the *actual* size, *precise* location of the 100,000 troops alleged (lol) to be poised to invade. Cos no one had done this & it's possible CNN made this all up as part of a woke agenda.

Reckon it should be called “The National Programme for AI”, as it seems destined to go about as well as the last time the government got enthused by something it clearly doesn’t understand.

What worries me is not government use of AI per se but the slightly credulous way that the government talk about it, which makes me suspect they will be taken for rubes by the tech companies selling their services. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On the one hand, the UK govt’s AI Opportunities Action Plan sounds somewhat utopian; on the other hand, the hand has six fingers and there are three of them per person.

The enshittification of TVs continues: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025... Why, customers seem to hate our UI and immediately switch to their AppleTV/Roku/PS5 and run apps there. What can we do about this? I know, let’s remove the input selector from the remote!

Microsoft Power Automate could be extremely useful. "Match regex in message and send to URL" ought to be easy as falling off a log. Instead it's one of the most frustrating, limited, painful things that make you want to throw it out a window. 👏 JUST 👏 GIVE 👏 ME 👏 SCRIPTING 👏
