The lads from Thomas House have it right: With AI, there is no excuse, there is no ethical use.

I’d love it if contributors to my nearest local festival would stop using AI posters. Like, this is Stoneybatter - you can’t spit without hitting a hipster artist. Surely we can do better than the piss-filter slop?

The amount of highest rated comments on Youtube these days who either met the subject of the video, visited some obscure location or witnessed some obscure event is striking. And it's guarateed to produce replies. New bot technique, perhaps?

KPop Demon Hunters is an extraordinary achievement. At every turn it makes the more interesting choice, and nails the landing each time. Add to that some cracking songs, exhilarating editing... and an unexpectedly moving central story. A tour de force.

Wow. eBay just permanently suspended my account. Unappealable. After asking me to verify my identity. They won't even tell me what I did wrong. More than 15 years with a flawless record. Gone, just like that.

The best part? They just sent me a transcript of my last customer service chat interaction, but because I'd opted for 'text only' emails, I can only access it in my account... which I've now been locked out of. Outstanding.

I reset my password after Google's password manager indicated it couldn't log in. Was this too close the verification attempt? (which I seemed to pass without issue) Was is my dispatch address being different to my current buyer address?

Here it is. The one example every Irish person needs to understand just how dysfunctional our healthcare system is.
