It's not December yet, which means you don't have to start Christmas shopping (this is A Fact) and should instead spend the afternoon indulging in the best of the week's links and writing in Web Curios (or, dunno, read a good book or something): webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-28...

Oh fuck I used to be a political reporter, can't help myself. Here's the big tax policies from the leaked budget.

Fun game to play with the budget later - see if you can tell which analysis being provided by the armchair pundits on LinkedIn and Substack has been generated by feeding all the docs to The Machine and reproducing its interpretation verbatim! Extra points if you can tell which LLM is being used

Fuck's sake. It is POSSIBLE that this is a Russian account, but, also, if you click the little shield icon next to 'icon based on Europe' you see this clear notice that the location data is uncertain because of likely VPN use. Spreading shit like this is unhelpful

Analysts citing Nvidia’s earnings as proof there’s no AI bubble are looking in the wrong place. The risk isn’t Nvidia running out of FAANG buyers for its chips.
It’s OpenAI failing to deliver on $1.4T of promised spend and what that means for every stock price dependent on the assumption it will.

You could spend the afternoon doing work - you could! - but, well, half the web is down, so instead why don't you TRAVEL TO THE PAST and play Unreal Tournament 3, Quake or Half Life multiplayer against strangers, in your browser, for free? This is practically MAGIC dos.zone/mp/

In the library and listening in some kid chat: "that's why I don't drink bro, I've seen what it's done to my brethren, you get all loose lipped...alcohol shows the world the person you wish you were, and that is ugly". Feel quite personally assaulted by this.

Exclusive:
UK ministers plan to ban the resale of tickets for live events above their original cost, in an aggressive crackdown on touts and resellers who sharply increase the price of admission to concerts and sports events.
