The solution might be to build a social media platform exclusively for Latin speakers. But let's use hexadecimal this time. Solutio in amicabiliter interventus suggestus esset facere solum propter Latine loquentium. Sed hoc ut in usum veste hexadecimali ostendentur.

Just enjoyed listening to #curiouscases wasps vs bees. Another attempt to entice Hannah Fry on the beauty of wasps: bees flap their wings kind of like birds. Wasps, on the other hand, use their bodies as resonant cavities and move their wings that way. Elegant and efficient.

Heathrow T5 looks really weird. All shops closed. Massive queues for everything. More akin to the Soviet Union than the usual consumer paradise.

So glad to have had my vaccine earlier this week, despite brief high fever and shaking as side effects. Wear a mask, get vaccinated. theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…

When you visit a bookshop and can’t help feeling the books on display are strangely relevant (but I bought a book on how to draw unicorns instead)

Um, no. We are definitely not "about to hit" a singularity. Our real challenge, near term, is not smart AI (which doesn't yet exist) but mindless AI, which already exists, is widespread, and is often problematic.

Insightful discussion of benefits and risks of LLMs by Gary Marcus and Melissa Heikkilä - surprising but very appropriate how prominent “people” are in the word cloud of their conversation #aiuk
