Don’t celebrate Halloween, but I am deeply supportive of a day where all small babies are dressed as pumpkins. 🎃

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.

My most critical insecurities are also at least 10 years old.
It's okay PHP, I'm insecure too.

Having important preparedness advice on a /wp-content url doesn’t fill me with a great deal of confidence after the events of the last 2 days
🚨This is well worth downloading - it is a v useful guide about the kind of supplies you and your household might need to be self sufficient for 72 hours in the event of an emergency - from a flood or a power cut to war: beready.campaign.gov.uk/wp-c…

Recruiting Hannah was such an obvious mistake; she’s never going to be able to explain her continued state of not having been murdered. Had they recruited anyone else she would still be under suspicion for, you guessed it, not being murdered. #CelebrityTraitors

This happened to me in a previous job (one day bereavement leave for my grandmother’s funeral declined) and looking back I think it did fundamentally alter how I felt about the place I worked.
I wouldn’t stay at a job that wouldn’t let me take off for my grandmothers funeral

Whenever I hear about some new AI threat I can’t help but think of these words from C. S. Lewis

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. I kept screenshotting what I thought would be the best bit, but it kept delivering incredible lines.
1.) Go to America.gov 2.) type “hello” 3.) type “play Minecraft” 4.) watch the agent’s reality implode 5.) ???? 6.) PROFIT!
