@underwaterryan This has been a journey I’ve followed with you Ryan. Glad it’s all sorted, go steady with it for a bit!

VERY happy Ryan again. Car fixed. MOT passed with no advisories. Peace and calm for some first world problems again.

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout. You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already 🛒 filled my cart 🛒 emptied my cart 🛒 scanned the items 🛒refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ....All of us These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old ……………………… Copied and pasted, because I agree 100%. SPREAD IT AROUND

Artificial intelligence development is accelerating at such a pace that even the makers of the world's biggest generative AI app, ChatGPT, have asked for greater regulations to protect humanity. #abc730 @MVincentOZ

Tried Kimchi for the first time last night, still thinking about how good it was today.

Today we’re releasing “The A.I. Dilemma” – a new talk @aza and I gave on 3/9, a week before GPT4 launched. *Pls share it widely.* It's critical for institutions to understand how the race between AI labs is accelerating the likelihood of catastrophe: youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj…

The best thing about switching your web search to ChatGPT is then the people who put all this info on the web don't get any credit and you have no idea how reliable the info is since all sources are jumbled into a giant opaque probability distribution. Oh wait, that's terrible.

@WhatWeWitnessed This isn't funny at all. Poor little mite.

Yesterday (?) I wrote a petition for mandatory drugs testing of MPs - it was rejected as a similar petition already existed. So, please sign THIS petition - currently at 139 signatures & due to end on the 23rd January. 100k to force debate consideration. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6196…

@mrjamesob My favourite is Bob. Good hard working train driver who's never been on a train in years.

I'm pre-blocked by two of these accounts. Is it some sort of bot/troll farm?
