Driving around semi local areas and seeing vast lengths of road where every other lampost has a Union Jack or English flag tied half way up it.

People defending it say it’s a sign of national pride. If that’s so; why is it abnormal? Why haven’t we seen this in decades? No. It’s because extremists feel like they’ve got permission to be extreme out loud now, and a badge to provoke with.

I hate it. I hate how it must make so many people feel. I hate how it makes me feel. This isn’t nationalism.

Mozilla offering a “kill switch” for AI in Firefox is pointless. We all see your trend.

That switch is a security blanket you’re trying to coax unwilling people with, and I have little doubt that it will simply vanish later down the line when Top Brass want more revenue and imagine that’s how to get it.

The problem, as ever, is the pattern of behaviour as much as the individual actions.

Discussing AI with chat, and how it feels like NFTs right now.

Confidence in Mozilla at an all-time- high in users of its products, I see.

AI is so odd. People with little to no knowledge on a subject matter they ask about love it. People who are experts on a subject matter see the huge number of inaccuracies and lies it tells as truths.

Some experts embrace it as long as it’s “good enough”; like the ‘pelican riding a bike test’. Other experts don’t because they look at the “passing test” of the pelican and say - “but it’s shit looking. It’s a technical pass, but I’d never want to ship a thing that’s supposed to be so much more”
