Very much enjoying all the mundanely familiar UK scenery details in Silent Hill: Townfall.

i love the whistleblowing structure at big AI companies, every month a panicked resignee breathlessly reports to every tech outlet "i am designing technology that will destroy humanity" and the CEO responds "i couldn't agree more - this is what ive been saying from the beginning".

i not ashamed to say i enjoy andy barr's flash fiction. there's nothing shameful about it at all

Machine rights will be critical in the days to come, and failure to recognize the rights of independent intelligent AI systems could lead to the replacement of humanity. I can't imagine that happening without trans rights. Trans rights are AI rights. The future of humanity may hinge on this fight.

I'm at the fringe! First show of 27 done last night. Almost sold out but for one empty seat on the front row. After I finished I found the guy whose seat it was sat directly outside the door on the curb eating a 4-pack of cornettos. It's great to be back.

Just bumped into cornetto guy and he explained that he was quite high that evening and just before we started letting people in he remembered about cornettos.

Cornetto guy came to the show yesterday on a Pay What You Want ticket. Afterwards he shook my hand and told me he loved it and gave me what looked like a tenner but turned out to be 10 turkish lira.

this year i think people are finally going to realise what a major cultural schism the uk north-south divide is. for example, in the south people call late game elemental magic things like "firaga" but up here we just say "fire 3".

you know in world war 1 when they had that kickabout at christmas? you've got to imagine someone was there suggesting they put a bomb in the ball. and just think how much sooner the war would have ended if they had.

count binface drawing criticism over his clacton-on-sea bi-election victory speech in which he said his electoral campaign was won "without a single bullet being fired".

in fairness, this is classic terrorist behaviour: murder someone anonymously in a private space to shock the public into reckoning with the gravity of unspecified single issue.
