The car of the future was supposed to have pulsating LEDs, self-drive, pursuit mode, turbo boost and an reassuringly patronising personality that would scan for threats and tell you what you were doing wrong. I was supposed to have a chest and head of hair like David Hasselhoff and a rich crime-fighting sugar daddy to fund my escapades.

This is off-white nothingness inside. It leaves me cold.

Infinite margin! 🫦

Purely for entertainment value, because in reality it would be Orwellian, I’d love to hear a court try and swear in an AI agent and then listen to that agent continually perjure itself in testimony.

How would the court sentence an AI agent? What punishment could it mete out that would make any meaningful sense?

Micron CEO said they expected industry supply to improve gradually in 2028, but couldn’t predict when supply would catch up with demand.

Why would they want balanced supply and demand? Scarcity affords them a higher margin for the same output. With so few competitors there currently seems to be little reason for them to try and meet demand.

This from the guys who released New Microsoft Outlook…

That person asked in 1998 and is still compiling Slackware

Hey, Peter, man! Check out Channel 9! Check out this chick!

Korben Dallas - the man just wants to romantically live out the rest of his life with the ultimate weapon, without people sticking guns and microphones in his face. I can relate.

[Edit for spelling]

Me personally? No.

The drones can remain airborne for about eight minutes on a single battery charge

1. Hear drone
2. Hide for 8 minutes
3. Drone evaded

I toyed with the reverse scenario: Lt Dan taking Forrest and Jenny to meet the Shrimp Nazi

Jerry: She literally said, “life is like a box of chocolates”?
George: Yes, she said, “you never know what you’re gonna get.”
Jerry: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”?
George: Word for word.
Jerry: They have a card in them…
George: They have a menu.
Jerry: Right, the little menu card! So you know exactly what you’re getting.
George: I told her that.
Jerry: So what did you do?
George: I took that box of chocolates and I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across the Upper West Side. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across Manhattan. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Manhattan. For no particular reason I just kept on going.

Perhaps the Met Police Commissioner should write a strongly worded letter to Farage then? Or does he reserve that action for left-wing parties only?

I didn’t know the Church of England was this based

A bit UK specific: this is Nigel Farage’s newest challenger in the Clacton by-election

A genuinely interesting read, and well written

In retaliation I now post notice that from today Sony does not own the money I transfer to them in exchange for goods or services. They have a limited, time bound, non-exclusive license to those funds which may be revoked by me at any time. By accepting my money, Sony also agrees to mandatory arbitration overseen by my 10 year old cat.

Being silently judged by the can before I even get my hand into it 👀
