*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Finally got to my January 2 rewatch of Get Back. Not a lot new that I haven't said before (some of which I'll repeat in subsequent posts here). But I'll start with this: I could watch 1,000 hours of this and never tire of it. I'm so grateful we have this for perpetuity.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are.
“Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

The full ‘63 acetate of What Goes On! Almost unrecognisable from the finished version on Rubber Soul, you can hear that the guitar pattern would later be repurposed for I’ll Cry Instead.

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

These are FAB! A great collection of interviews by @marklewisohn.bsky.social from International Beatleweek 2025.
So much insight into those early 1960s Liverpool years (plus a fascinating Wings diversion) I can’t recommend it enough!

Yes, he does. Photo taken Dublin, 7 November 1963. With Paul and John backstage at the Adelphi are, as you say, Eileen Reid and the Cadets, a local showband.
Wonder if @marklewisohn.bsky.social knows of this?
