I'd like to read it as talking to a psychosis inducing plagiaristin real life should also be declassified as human conversation?

The complaints team is also busy. And they don't want people to be snappy with them. I have a radical idea: provide a service for people in high anxiety situations about health where you don't cut off their calls, give them the wrong phone number or turn off app functionality.

It's not afternoon in Norwich without half the RAF/USAF running manoeuvres overhead.

The reason I have pressed it twice was that the screen didn't turn on the first time. I will be fair, they are overnighting me a new one (but this is the third time I've phoned up with this fault).

One of these days its going to start plaintively beeping at me in the theatre or while I'm doing a client thing and I won't have a soundproof box for it.

The excuse from technical support is "yeah, you'll get that fault if you press the on button more than twice in a 4 second interval". How did this thing get MHRA certification? The last time they told me that their software regularly includes race conditions that also crash the pump.

This is a troubling omen.

Enforcing copyright protection over photos of landmarks? Arguably also a French thing though.

There is one more post to be written here, about how AI is now often an austerity technology, inserted into a human process to compensate for the fact that there is just not enough time and money, and many workers are expected to do more and more with less and less.

I'm just not sure how to feel sympathy for this.

I was riding today and assumed my fly was down. It was not.
