Half term is a mixed bag - on the plus side, vibraphone & marimba practice alongside the usual harp make for a lovely work environment. On the minus side, C16 is an inventive & accomplished cook so the smells as she caters for herself are amazing... I suppose we should be glad she's self sufficient.

I did a panel the other day where we talked about the cost of compute as being a massively limiting factor, but for lots of AI purchasers that cost is still being masked by VC/investor money so the vulnerabilities are high but hidden wch leads to scepticism
New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

Screening question on a survey - I know they want you to answer fast, but I could help but think of @crimegirl.co.uk and how "slow" => "defendant", whereas "fast" => got away from the pursuers and therefore didn't end up in court...

It’s the 43rd anniversary of the day the world might have ended but for one man, and I don’t have time to write that up, and anyway why try when @garius.bsky.social has done this...?
