Oh the irony of the life of Liz Truss - going from lauding #hermajesty as ‘the rock upon which modern Britain was founded’ to becoming ‘the sand on which the modern British economy founders’, all in the space of 3 weeks! youtu.be/mqB9qpSol9M

This poem picked for Remembrance Day week was written by my first cousin twice removed (son of my great grand uncle, I think). It alludes to battles & enemies etc, but for me it’s about an irreparable falling out between close friends #noremedy theguardian.com/books/2022/nov…

I think Nick Cave has nailed it with this piece on ChatGPT. For all the awe at what it produces, at its core its a mimic, sometimes a very good one, but a foolish one, lacking logic or rationale; the ultimate technological Mynah bird theredhandfiles.com

Given the plethora of AI/GPT related April Fool's, I thought I would just go straight to the source and here it is. While it clearly reflects the humor element of an April Fool, the gullibility assumed for humankind is sad (but possibly true!)

I’m very much enjoying my time as the Neil Armstrong Visiting Professor (NAVP) Purdue Boilermakers but I received one of the more unusual welcome gifts - a bar of (Purdue) soap! A comment on my personal hygiene or that of the typical nerdy-innovator type?

I stay away from this social platform for the most part these days, but this sage advice from Lou Brus, delivered as the parting words of his Nobel Laureate address Bell Labs today, merits propagation to all who want a simple prescription for success in life
