I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website*

I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...
I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes
I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

I don't mean to startle anyone but I've just opened days 13 and 14 on my advent calendar. It'll be Christmas any day now.

Absolutely stunning sky at 5:30 this morning. Completely clear, still dark, stars for as far as the eye could see.

Bloody cold mind you.

Just went through the spam comments in my blog having posted earlier today and realised several of you had commented on other vaguely recent posts and my over-the-top spam filtering (err written by me) had yeeted them all into the big spam bin. Sorry about that 🫣

Today hasn't been all bad!

We got the go ahead (pending signed contract) on a new website project for a *lovely* new client, go ahead on some adhoc work for another client, solved a couple of things that were annoying me on another project, and I've now had a glass of prosecco to cheer me up 😆

This has escalated today because they want me to revise the invoice down because there are bugs in the code.

I pointed out that they asked for the code to be put live against our repeated advice and despite insufficient testing.

The saga continues. 🫠
Lost a client today because we had the nerve to put work on hold because they weren't paying invoices. 🙃

Honestly, if I didn't super love my job, the past 12 months or so would definitely have made me quit everything and go live in the woods.

I withdrew from social media quite a bit last year because there was a lot of STUFF going on at home/work and it wasn't until @womenintechseo.bsky.social's #WTSFest last week that I realised how isolated it had made me feel from some long time nerdy internet friends.

So uhh, hi everybody 👋

What's going on with the weather this month? Yesterday it was freezing and I got drenched in ice cold rain on the dog walk, so this morning I wrap up & I'm sweating buckets because it's 9c and dry.

Apparently it's going to be 11c & sunny tomorrow which seems bonkers for the week before Christmas.

I know Evri have a bad rep but my local guy is brilliant and I give him 5 stars every time I get one of those automated review emails in the hope it actually means something.

Despite being advertised as “never worn” and “from a smoke-free home”, your new jacket still apparently needed de-smelling, leaving you to conclude that the seller must have been trying to kill you to ensure your silence.

Still haven't weeded the driveway 5 months later and watching the birds still pecking at the bugs and bits between the gravel has been one of the highlights of my year 😍

Blessings to the two little goldfinches digging through the weeds and wildflowers on my gravel driveway who've just given me permission to hold off weeding it that much longer 😎

MoneySavingExpert's credit club thing sent me an alert this morning so I've logged in for the first time in a while... it's simultaneously telling me that I'm not using credit that's available to me AND that I'm using too much credit that's available to me. Make that make sense 🫠

I noticed a WordPress developer out there has been pushing a "Doom" WordPress block to all the major socials.

I did it a year ago ;)

How to run Doom in WordPress Playground
With the advent of WordPress Playground I thought to myself, "I bet you can run id Software's 1993 hit 'Doom' on it". Sure enough, you can. This blog post details how.

Fonts are one of the most visible, most powerful parts of the web. And yet: almost everyone gets them wrong.
