Yeah and my dad’s Bruce Lee

This you?

Does that include any words you said to yourself? I suspect in 8 days I’d get through twice that easily just with the occasional “oh for fuck’s sake” muttered under my breath periodically

One for the podcast?

Sorry :(

"Grok has responded to some users on X explaining its actions."

No it hasn't, BECAUSE ITS NOT A PERSON.

Standard of reporting round AI is getting so much worse.

There’s an irony in The Lancet writing this. They’re in part responsible for his views and actions

Took me a while to actually see what it’s meant to be!

Positive identification hasn’t happened yet. That’s why it’ll be written this way. They’re hedging until it’s confirmed.

I think AI is unlikely here. Whilst it can be formulaic it just isn’t this bad. I suspect this is a bad use of a template that purposefully uses hedging language for legal reasons (perhaps because investigation is ongoing).

Honestly I think the opposite is true. This reads more like some kind of template was poorly used and edited, with language that’s purposefully hedging for some kind of official/legal reason. If AI was drafting these I’d expect them to be more polished than this. It wouldn’t write that badly.

Food banks exist because food is a biological necessity. No one is ending up in A&E because they can’t afford a Substack subscription. The analogy collapses the moment you apply any scrutiny to it.

Easy for an AI

Kent surely!

We watched the first 3 yesterday and really enjoyed them.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about Will Smith eating spaghetti

Disgraceful beyond belief.

Grok is this too close to the fire?

Why should the thing you always had to pay for before be free just because it’s on the Internet?
It’s like complaining that Ocado charges you money for something you would otherwise have bought in a Waitrose shop.

I wonder if all the bogends who reply 'Paywall' to any post from a paying site pick up a tin of soup in Tesco and shout 'NOT Free!' at the self checkout.

“Bit repetitive”

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

I’m not so sure. The chorus has been stuck in my head for ages and the time signature change towards the end of genuinely ace too. Changes the feel!

Amazing!!!

This is great!

Yeah, sure, she made up the quote, but as the man himself said...
