Just corrected a 15-year-old typo on my blog.

Hurrah.

That typo was older than my oldest child. Some of my students were still in nursery when I made it.

Here’s @ayjay pointing out the major flaw in one of the weaker arguments for AI:

A useful mental exercise: when people say “AI isn’t going anywhere” or “AI is here to stay,” substitute for “AI” the word “cancer.” A great many things that are here to stay are really bad and should be resisted as energetically as possible

A pebble beach stretches along the coastline with two people and a dog walking near the water's edge under a clear sky.

When did you last reply to someone on social media?

As Elvis didn’t sing, a little more conversation, a little less promotion please.
