How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

Armed with some research (H/T @neil) and after spending some time reading up the subject, I went to the Apple Store and then spent an hour on the phone to Apple account support yesterday.

They're very aware that they dropped a bollock here and have thousands of very angry adult customers.

The support team manager I spoke to yesterday said that some sort of fix was due within days

That's the /good/ news.

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia

This is peak malicious compliance and I love it

I like Richard Herring. Someone sent me a joke from him (Epitaph for the human race "At least we owned the libs.") looking like it was lifted from Twitter. I was a bit incensed he was still using it, but turns out he's not it was just an old joke. So I saw he's got a Substack (which I understand some people say is problematic) which signposts his Bluesky account. Look, I've spoken about Bluesky a lot. It's not for me. For a lot of different reasons I've been very vocal about. But I've mellowed a bit and for jobbing comedians who need a commercial'ish social platform, I recognise it's the best alternative to Twitter or Insta/Meta (although ironically not dissimilar to the point he makes in this blog about Starmer being the best alternative to the Tories). Anyway there's not much point to this but I continue to like Richard Herring and found this blog a bit interesting. Do we still say blog? Is this a blog? Am I a blog?
