Just to say I’m not really here anymore. I’m over on Bluesky with the other geeks and writers and academics. Maybe see you there.

I once gave a lecture where I used Tetris as metaphor to make a point about narrative and information processing. I regret to tell you, fellow kids, that none of the 100 or so students had heard of Tetris.
I make a Matrix reference in one of my lectures and it's simply now a fact of life that not one single student in any of my classes will ever have seen the Matrix. Zero, every time, no exceptions. Obviously I'm old and washed but damn

Weird and depressing article in the Guardian about ChatGPT therapists, which soft pedals the dangers of using AI for mental health care, and puffs up a load of tech company marketing.

What’s otherwise quite a cautionary article about the dangers of AI gets reframed as a debate because the tech companies are given permission to present marketing material as academic insight. ☹️

On about the fifth name you can see that I look up and I choke as I go on to read the next name because what I saw when I looked up was the families of killed women standing up in the gallery as a mark of respect. It took everything I had to not just break down in tears.

I’ve worked out what this guy is playing on his Vision Pro
I think my biggest takeaway from all the Vision Pro videos of people walking or sitting "oddly" in public is other people in America do not judge you and mind their own business This openness is possibly what makes America so strong at business and innovation

Communication Designers! Humour is sometimes overlooked as a model for communication, but there’s lots to learn from jokes. This video takes 2 mins of The Simpsons, and shows how each joke expertly anticipates, subverts, and rewards audience expectation. Well worth a watch.
