So, travelling across London. Uber quoted £32 for the journey. Got a cab, turned out to be £23.40 on the meter.

Highlight of the day so far is working out how to switch off the 'AI assistant' on my work emails. Why we need a bot to summarise our emails for us, I cannot understand. Technology is only worthwhile if it's useful. Much of the AI tech being pushed is complete mince.

This is a comical example of relying on badly scanned marketing data passed to AI to generate slop-like content. If this isn't an outright scam, it will be close enough that it should be avoided.

I love when l*bertarians are like “b b b b but in a truly free market corporations are incentivized to sell the best product possible and customers just can refuse to buy milk cut with formaldehyde” like they’re newborn babies who don’t know how the world works.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

There's a paragraph I have to keep using in correspondence related to my human rights case. Seeing it, using it, almost every time, fucks my shit up. The responses to it though - from human rights activists, human rights lawyers, and organisations supposed to help, have been, utterly choice 1/

I know a lot of US citizens only care about US citizens, so I'll just go ahead and point out: when ICE arrests you, the due process would be the point where you prove you can't be deported because you're a US citizen. Without it, there's nothing stopping them from sending you to CECOT forever.

Over the years, I've been super critical of the Delta Sky Club at Orlando International. (MCO) I take it all back today. Almost makes up for the hour to get through security.

[turning up to the fist fight with a loaded gun] maybe Americans wouldn't be so obsessed with "seasoning" if they actually had access to produce that tastes of something

I see this is still going strong. "Reporters" are saying that after a 60% drop, share prices rising 10% is a recovery. Lets look at that: £100 - 60% = £40 £40 + 10% = £44 - or 56% less than it started. It great if you bought at £40. But if your pension bought it at £100, you are still screwed.

I was 37 when I finally earned enough financial security to start a private pension. In the brief 5 years since, its value has plummeted on three separate occasions due to “once in a lifetime shocks”. I sure am enjoying the decade 🫠

Uhm, I assume that Robert Colville has read the Telegraph articles which he is using as examples in his Times column, an interesting move for a columnist btw? The eye catching headlines aside, they are somewhat disingenuous in their arguments. 1/ www.thetimes.com/article/377c...

I am fascinated by how mathematically inept lots of "news" people are. If the price of a thing reduces by 50%, then increases by 50%, it is still 25% less than the original price. The increase does, indeed, exist, but it is not "back to normal price."

I remember the good old days, when Amazon suggested products I might want, or TV/Movies I might want to watch. Now it is literally nothing but things I have previously bought or TV/Movies I've already watched on Prime. It is wild how bad tech has become.

David Gemmell is the greatest writer of fantasy fiction the world has produced and I really wish he'd given permission for the Drenai series to be adapted before he died, they're perfect for a well made big budget tv show

A regular rant of mine, which sadly isn't getting the traction I want it to get is: Metrics are bad for cybersecurity operations. Metrics are REALLY bad for incident response. Just because they might have value in some IT areas, doesn't mean they are a crutch for hit and miss leadership.

Apropos of nothing, this video on YouTube is an interesting thing to watch right now. It is good to see how things happened in the past, as they explain why they are as they are today. This is often overlooked in the race to burn everything down. youtu.be/aGOx7cXQga8?...

Periodic reminder that there are a lot of rich and powerful GenXers/Millennials who grew up watching WW2 films/documentaries, but never realised who the baddies were. There is a massive number of poorer people who watched them and didn't realise what happens to poor people who support the baddies.

It fascinates me that so many unimaginably rich people are obsessed with getting richer. When you already have more money than you can spend in your remaining life, wanting more is wild. If I was super rich, I'd want to be remembered for awesome things, not just comparing bank balances with weirdos.
