Also been asked how many days worth of time we use AI.
Days.
That was a hard question to answer as it's sort of moments not literally something like Word, Excel, etc .

An expectation of a number of AI innovations per quarter.
Think monkey thing. Do something profound.
Of course it will probably be like monkeys typing in a room as the meteics will be gamed by logging something whether innovative or not.
I guess, eventually, some will be.
The Project Hail Mary film reviews are in and they are transcendent.
The only negative to the film, for me, is even the trailers ruin the experience of reading the book which leads you in feeling like you're getting The Martian in a space ship and then it transcends into something extraordinary.
Watching The Fall Guy - good film, deserved to do a lot better than it did.
I am reminded I have three tracks on my Spotify playlist from it.
Yes, I effectively only have one playlist.
While the van was getting serviced I had a Mocha from the fancy machine.
I could get addicted to those.
I shall avoid this future addiction.
Facebook has allowed me to discover Nina Conti and her monkey puppet.
Hilarious.
Fall Guy is on Netflix.
Strangely I highly recommend it. Gosling and Blunt have incredible chemistry. It's slightly meta, funny and just sort of delightful.
Also it was driving itself as long as it could feel my hands on the wheel.
Mindbogglingly crazy.
Probably an old ability but knew for me.
Just driven an electric van . Hoh boy I bet speed tickets went up with EVs unless people were using the cruise control .
I've broken my connections to social media and algorithms so much these days I'd either just hoo again or not bother.
Once Twitter was broken that was basically it. It's more like moving old school forums then coming off a social network now.
In the case of the breaks, I think the lack of use (it's not the pads) due to Daisy Dogs health during 2025 had had a bill associated with it.
Boosh, 2K on the van MOT. All wear and tear issues.
What can I say it's had a clean bill for 6-ish years things like breaks, tires, all the wear stuff were bound to need attention at some point.
Fun times.
Hilarious.
Delivery fee .
Small item fee .
Service fee.
When you try and order every item in the deal, EVERY ITEM, moves up the deal price.
Just Eat has officially entered the Enshitification zone.
Other things a side-eye on Introvert forums tell me.
The pathologising of everything had gone nuts.
People literally insist their lived experience and need to identify is true rather than the scientific fact.
Fascinating.
I am sure this isn't happening in other areas at all.
I think anyone who literally titles themselves a thought leader has a high chance of being a Cockwomble.
Aren't they pretty much the business equivalent of YouTube influencers at this point?
The war to continue to be employed is how much you engage and use AI.
Here is the rub though, unless you're careful, it's entirely possible those who will win out will be performative AI users who aren't truly shifting the needle.
It's going to be a blood bath.
Keep getting dragged into ever more deeper technical resolutions and problems and while I do accept I have a talent for working with more technical people to add clarity and framing I am really not sure it's the best way to burn the money they pay me.
But seems to be what's demanded.
No idea where that link came from.
Did we discuss beforehand even if not all the details? In my head we did but it's a looooong time ago.
Or if it's a longer game reach out and ask.
Like suggesting the Slayer in the campaign wasn't a potential at all but a Watcher Experiment.
Err..okay, that sounds cool.
I must admit I can't remember who came up with that idea but I am sure it wasn't fully me or me at all.
You can't just do it.
Funny watching Below Deck Down Under and people wanting to see their money on trips.
I asked a spurious question to ChatGTP about bolder and bigger travel at one point and it went down a rabbit hole of not doing anything bigger just more luxurious.
It was very surreal.
Ellie jesus, back again imagining competition and a relationship where there isn't one.
Repeat.
#BelowDeckDownUnder
As I aged into my own decisions I just stopped. No great existential decision or rejection.
It was a positive experience and my life influences tend to be:
1. Family
2. Education
3. Career
4. Religion
5. YouTube
It's often more about the social fabric than anything else I suspect.
The funny thing about this morning at Kielder is it was so cold the heater would not spin up, the hydraulics on the rear door weren't as good and my Kindle screen could'nt be bothered to refresh.
Out of all that I need to check the heater tomorrow. That's never happened before.
"A wannabe Theocracy trying to overthrow an actual Theocracy".
Classic.
Also spot on.
Finished. Brilliant. The characters. The various sets and places. Just very evocative. The focus on a library.
As usual, it would make an absolutely fantastic streaming mini-series.
Yeah, and he fought Empire Strikes Back tooth and nail as it wasn't the film he wanted and he was slightly more distance from the making of it.
The history of Star Wars book is fascinating.
Well, it's been good. Read for a bit and then head back home.
It got a bit cold. Not cold in the van due to toasty sleeping gear but the temps plummeted.
The stars were great but they didn't get as deep into the galaxy as that night at CottageCon for some reason.
Sadly I don't have the skill or equipment to capture what I am probably going to see.
But even at this early time the brighter stars are filling the sky.
