This is an interesting deep investigative journalist look at, primarily #OpenAI. There’s more broad coverage of the other main players as well. It’s got its own biases but does a good job of bringing some critical insight. Worth a listen or read.

I tried questioning both #ChatGPT & #Claude about the #StochasticParrot paper and #Human #TheoryOfMind to see where their engagement willingness and capabilities are. I’m seeing Claude as increasingly the more serious #LLM to use.

Driver-less cars are about to come to the #UK. #Waymo and #Uber are both launching services in #London. This essentially looks like a a trial ahead of the 2027 #AutonomousVehiclesAct going through parliament that will see legislation for UK wide deployment.

Waymo Heads Across the Pond to Test Robotaxi Service in London
Fleet operations in London will be managed by Moove, and, once the service becomes available, customers will be able to book rides via the Waymo app.

When the #compost hits 73 deg c in 18 hours of adding fresh shreddings you know the system is working! Time to give it a stir, mix it all up and get the microbes to a fresh bit. How’s your #composting going?

It was #foraging time in the #forest this morning. We’re now well stocked with roasted #chestnuts , prepped and frozen ready for Christmas eating. There’s plenty to be had this year if you’re inclined to go gathering.

#Anthropic quietly released #ClaudeSonnet4.5 yesterday. Having spent all day running code reviews with it I’m impressed! It’s meaningfully better and quicker that 4.0. #AgenticCoding is moving at a pace.

Wow! I just had #Claude refuse to carry out /exit in #ClaudeCode! I restart sessions when conversations start to compact to clear the context window, to prevent hallucinations. This session Claude decided that its code securing task should not be interrupted! Your thoughts?...

The #psychologist researchers in this interview offer some practical advice for creating guardrails for vulnerable users. They discuss pre-instructing a chat #AI to monitor for potential psychotic conversation patterns and encourage the human to go to their trusted contact

The creators of #AIForHumans podcast have launched a vocal speech description #game. It’s a great piece of linguistic engagement via #AI. They’re intending this as the first in a series. It’s in beta at the moment and looking for feedback. Enjoy!

This is an interesting read. There’s a comparison here with the Trumpington crazy of the US, that’s good to get a perspective on. Take a look at what’s being achieved when you look East…

If you are working with #ClaudeCode #Omnara is definitly worth investigating. It basically mirrors the Agent chat window into a web page or iOS app. So... set Claude of on a task, take dog for walk, answer question while out. Task done on return!

This is a really good resource for #MCP #server tools. mcpbased.com I've added a few to #ClaudeCode. Giving #Claude access to #Playwright gives it the ability to open a browser. I was then able to get it to parse the whole #MCPBase for useful MCPs for the dev I'm doing, building its own toolset!

I’d been using #ClaudeSonet in #Cursor for a while but after reading a few #TLDR articles decided to #ClaudeCode a go. I feel like #Claude #Code is a smoother process. I’m getting less loops of #AI #model inability to comprehend or address a problem. What’s your experience?
