Watched: Slow Horses S6E4, Lost & Found 🍿. Another jam-packed episode. There’s always a critic, usually in The Guardian, that says Slow Horses is losing its way but I think every season is as good as the last.
Bender: AI’s ‘Existential’ Risk Is ‘Fake’ - YouTube
I like the take here. There are no “rogue” agents. These things are malware created by the big AI companies. They are responsible for any illegality.
Finished Reading: Mike Joyce - The Drums by Mike Joyce. A nice little memoir of Joyce’s time in The Smiths. He doesn’t dwell on court cases or royalty disputes or anything like that. Just the sheer joy of being in one of the greatest bands.📚
Read: In Another World - The Four Seasons Of Talk Talk by Graeme Thomson. A fantastic book that makes you listen to and hear the Talk Talk albums in a different light. The best kind of music book.📚
Watched: Eno. I enjoyed this. Brian Eno is still a very inspiring person. 🍿
I saw lots of posts this morning from people complaining that “person” was trending in their social media. Do they STILL not know how this stuff works?
I seem to be getting into a habit of updating CrucialTracks. Picking a favourite song brings a nice little spark of joy every day. 🎵
Watched John Oliver’s recent investigation into AI chatbots. I would be quite happy to see all of these companies sued out of existence.
Watched: PlayTime. I love this film. I think I’m becoming more like Monsieur Hulot. 🍿
I bought this portable FiiO CD player. It sounds really good. I have a bunch of CD-R discs that wouldn’t play on my older player. This plays them with no issues at all. Very pleased with the purchase.
