If any of them had chosen to look out of the window at that moment, they would have been startled by the sight of Ford Prefect dropping past them to his certain death and flipping the finger at them.

Sorry to say but the older I get the more I think that Douglas got the passengers for the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet, Ship B wrong....

Cos while it might be nice to get rid of the useless part of the population, at least they didn't hurt the rest of us. Far better to get rid of the super rich and the super ambitious and the dictators!

At the (indirect; I saw her post1 about the IndieWeb Book Club) urging of Johanna, I read the first book of the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency series by #DouglasAdams .

It's a great read if you love absurdity and a meandering writing style (I mean, that's just Douglas Adams for you). If you enjoyed the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you'll enjoy this.

One thing that struck me was a surprisingly astute observation on cognitive offloading to technology in general, fitting LLMs in particular: Adams introduces the concept of Electric Monks which have the task of believing things so you don't have to bother believing them yourself. Which is all fun and games until you chose to offload things to them which you shouldn't believe but know--such as whether a vital repair was, in fact, successful. #CognitiveOffloading #AI #Books #Reading
