my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls
I’m planning to visit (and do a broader trip) next year, any recommendations appreciated!
😀, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m a big fan of pretty much all of his stuff. I’m watching The Yellowstone at the moment actually, which isn’t anywhere near as well written but has some similar scenery

From Feb I have some space for paid consulting/writing/speaking work - helping organisations navigate and understand the tech policy landscape (💣💥), doing AI ethics reviews, and general all-purpose strategic comms and problem solving. www.rachelcoldicutt.com
The biggest problem in tech isn’t lack of problems to solve, or products to build.
There’s plenty to do.

Opportunity from one of the most sussed society & AI experts put there. Responsible industry should snap it up.
I can’t read the whole article as it’s members only but the part I can understand read doesn’t explain why Google would give it an enhanced ranking recently?
Unless that was part of the deal for training data access? Replenish the well.
I feel like this is definitely a change since the LLM era began, I hadn’t noticed whether there was a relationship between there being a Gemini answer or not.
Is it prompting Reddit activity that it can then harvest to fill the gap?!
Yes 😂, I’ve been surprised how terrible and pointless it is. If the processing is on device then I don’t even see the benefit to them if it’s not collecting training data.
It's December! That means it's time for my Great Present Ideas thread!

The ads I get on the bottom of the Follow.it email are a gold mine 😅😂. Another blog I subscribe to has used them for a a year or two and it's seemed pretty reliable 🤷♂️
Do you know if these are technically still in force? 😅

This is interesting. It actually makes you listen :) It falls apart a bit as you move away from the original recommendation but I like it.
a friend shared this essay on the decontextualization of communist and anti-fascist monuments for the sake of clickbait, and I think it’s incredibly important. if you’ve ever shared images of the various Spomeniks in Yugoslavia, this is a must read:

This is wild: Ticketmaster introduced 'non-transferrable' tickets, so resales would have to happen on its own platform (further monopolization). Now scalpers have worked with hackers to reverse engineer the barcodes, makes them transferrable www.404media.co/scalpers-are...

Such a good story it's like a writing prompt for a responsible AI MA. At least 2 possible essays:
(a) which UK high street retailer would you trust to deliver cloud services and why?
(b) do Lidl use gen AI to create the packaging for their own-brand versions of well-known products?
