BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.

It’s astonishing they can be so bad at marketing

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.

The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want “normality” what ever that is.

I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.

We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.

This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.

As for “Labour’s habitually profligate compassion”, oh no! Not compassion!

Just need to learn to lip read

100,000 people marched through London at the weekend at the Restore Nature Now March, and there was virtually no news coverage of it. Yet 2 people spray corn starch on a monument and it’s front page news globally.

It’s a dilemma.

We’ve decided to go ahead with this, fire over a DM and we’ll get the community set up

We are not against it, but it needs careful consideration due to limited server resources as well as limited user attention (we are a very small instance compared to others)

Thanks for your support, it’s really appreciated

Weird, I just used the autogenerate title so the wired site must have had it wrong. Updated

Despite reports of it’s death, moores law continues at pace. I’ve already got a computer in my pocket more powerful than the supercomputers of the previous few decades.

We can’t even pay people a decent wage, no way will people vote for parties just giving money away for free.

Crab mentality

I left reddit after the API nonsense (which was to stop AI companies scraping their content), and I could see them selling their content for AI (or creating their own AI) coming a mile off. It’s only ever about money

I’m not convinced that ChatGPT is the right way to AGI but watching the demos of GPT4 omni and seeing these cheap robots does make it feel like the next 5 years are going to be … interesting times shall we say.

Brain is about 1 million mm3, so yeah, 1.4 zettabytes

In the weeks following the surgery, a number of threads retracted from the brain, resulting in a net decrease in the number of effective electrodes.

That doesn’t sound great
