As Harlan Ellison said, what the hell is the point of a library where you've read all the books?

It doesn't lie to people. Lying suggests purposefully deviating from the truth. An LLM doesn't know what's true and what's not. It's just a machine for arranging words into something that looks a bit like a sentence.

I was in a bar in Edinburgh where the owner told us a ghost would occasionally break a vodka bottle overnight and my first thought was "your night man is drinking them and blaming some poor innocent ghost"

Same reason pre-internet kids used to scour the National Geographic for tits: the veneer of
a "legitimate" use enables you to smuggle it past clueless adulthood

A CHRISTMAS GHOST STORY by Kim Newman is out in paperback! 🎄👻

A tale of a haunted Christmas set deep in the British countryside not too long ago. Cosy traditions are made twisted and terrifying as a mother and son grapple with their painful past.

We're trying to keep the Rambling Club ticking over, but it's getting harder to spend the time on recording and editing when money is tight. We know it's tight for you too, but can you possibly help just a little? Thank you so much!

I just read All the Devils are Here by David Seabrook which featured the memorable line "Roy 'Chubby' Brown, like a lardy version of the Ancient Mariner, bearing none of the poetry and all of the guilt".

sorry to hear Ricky Hatton took his own life - still so many platformed voices sneer at issues of mental health - a reminder of why a world where people feel they can speak about their inner battle & not feel they must hide or be ashamed needs to be built
