I am straight-up going to have nightmares about this

In the video Smith posted online, he said Neuralink engineers had started using language models including ChatGPT and Grok to serve up a selection of relevant replies to questions, as well as options for things he could say in conversations going on around him. One example that he outlined: “My friend asked me for ideas for his girlfriend who loves horses. I chose the option that told him in my voice to get her a bouquet of carrots. What a creative and funny idea.”

These aren’t really his thoughts, but they will do—since brain-clicking once in a menu of choices is much faster than typing out a complete answer, which can take minutes.

(not least because the track Dungeon Whippet is actually fucked/broken on every single digital streaming service out there making it basically unlistenable on non-physical formats lol)

an all-time banger UK metal album and one of the best sludge/hardcore albums of that entire era. so glad it finally got a vinyl reissue and just turned up in the post - sounds brilliant

this is just over a month away. whatever your plans might otherwise be on 14/15 Nov, get your ass over to Chelmsford instead for some absolutely incredible metal and alt acts in an amazing craft beer taproom right under the railway station. you'd be daft not to.
