My iPad is in the iPad hospital for the second time in a little over a month.
I hadn’t realised how central it’s become to my workflow. I feel a little lost without it.

Sorry to be vague, but more details will be coming early next week. 🤫
Diesel may start vanishing from forecourts within four years:
A report by the electric vehicle think tank New AutoMotive predicts that some filling stations in London will stop selling diesel by 2030. Nationally, many of the UK’s 8,400 forecourts are expected to scrap it by 2035.
Interesting move. Warhammer-maker Games Workshop has banned its staff from using AI in its products.
This seems like a smart move: a hobby built around creativity (building, modifying and painting models), is likely to be hostile to their raw materials being AI created.
Off to poke at the reaction in the Warhammer subreddits.
I don’t get the phrase “search it up”. It seems more clumsy than “search for it”, yet it seems to have become the default for younger generations.
Elizabeth Spiers, Eating The Chess Pieces:

I wonder if many people are confusing the idea of “artificial intelligence” with “artificial consciousness”.
