Just one problem among many.

Good (I don’t mean regarding court martial). We need this stuff. Ukraine needs this stuff. Europe needs it.

That’s good news. Are we actually supposed to know it though?

OK, as the actual journalist who has been unwittingly caught up in the Claude rumor this morning (who also covers AI disinformation) let me clear this one up for the record.

To recap: Claude kind of implicated itself in the Iran school bombing citing (in part) my reporting...

Rather than β€œSyntax error”. Geez we were so Rock and Roll.

I barely remember the computer lab, save for one thing. The Maths teacher who did β€œcomputing” at the RGS was a mean natured bore with a beard. He knew that my Mum lectured Maths at the college and he always threw barbs about it. So a friend and I hacked one of the machines to say β€œI hate beards” /1

You and I are virtually the same age (I’m a bit older?), from the same school. I still have the Commodore PET that my Mum taught me on.

Why do my jokes always have typos that make them unintelligible?

So that you know I’m not AI, that’s why. Arguably I’m not very I either.

It looks like Bovino out is Dad’s Nazi coat on. How sweet.

Good to know. Do you have anything that you want me to ask while I’m at the event?

Interesting. I did a W3C search about haptic and sound feedback after seeing this. There’s nothing other than early notes/advisory. I hope to attend a W3C accessibility meeting tomorrow in Kings Cross and will ask what the state of play is.

Absolutely brilliant. I didn’t think this could be done on iOS Safari.

This is so accurate. Thing I’ve developed with age is that I’m happy to ignore imposter syndrome. I just pat it on the back, say β€œHi, Pal” and wait for it to get bored and wander off.

I meant to come and find you to say hello, but failed.

Hey Bramus, I meant to ask today what happens if you say have a menu surface to open, that’s both too big to open down and too big to open upwards? Other than fixing bad UX design, what’s going to happen with the browser?

Because many see things from their narrow political viewpoint. Frankly there’s a lot of white saviour nonsense in there. These poor brown people are oppressed by the people I dislike, and so they must feel grateful for my qualified support. Meh!

An unorthodox presentation and all the better for it. A lot of fun.

@jason-williams.co.uk we spoke after your talk today at #SotB2026. Once again a great talk and thank you! Hope you feel better soon.

They already are acting and it’s only going to get worse. Khamenei won’t be missed, but nothing good comes of this. There’s no strategy here other than threat degradation, electoral boost and Epstein file avoidance.

We spoke - this was an excellent presentation.

That’s nonsense of course. It’s well known that Iran has a well set out succession plan.
