I came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it is true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

Wer einmal richtiges Homeoffice erlebt hat, versteht, warum so viele nicht mehr zurück ins Büro wollen.
Du musst nicht mehr überlegen, was du morgens anziehst, nur um acht Stunden an einem Schreibtisch zu sitzen.
Du musst dein Mittagessen nicht am Vorabend vorbereiten, weil du sonst wieder 12 € für irgendein liebloses Kantinenessen ausgibst.
Du kannst in deiner Pause kurz rausgehen, die Waschmaschine anstellen oder in Ruhe essen, statt deine halbe Freizeit für die Organisation des Arbeitstags zu opfern.
Natürlich muss die Arbeit erledigt werden. Aber seit wann ist es ein Qualitätsmerkmal, dafür möglichst lange außer Haus zu sein?
Bewertet die Leistung, nicht den Standort.

Today the UK remembers Aberfan when 114 children & 28 teachers died in a coal disaster 60 years ago! It is a sacred day for the people of Wales & those who remember thelost. For Harry to be crying about his grief is incomprehensible to us. #FOHARRY has never been more apt!

Were it not classed as assault, I would queue to throw my dog’s shit at him, whilst booing down a megaphone.

This is the result when your patron is onboard for PR and rehabilitation and is a lazy, incurious and stupid man.
Like injured veterans and bereaved children, families of critically ill children deserve better. Someone passionate about making a meaningful difference who immerses themselves in all the details and can communicate effectively to donors, clients and partners. Who can advocate to legislators and governing authorities and press.
Instead the boards of Invictus, Scotty’s Little Soldiers and Well Child may have thought they’d hitched their organizations to a useful idiot who could smoothly deliver talking points the two hours a year he shows up. But the guy they signed up was popular, polished and had a team of minions doing all the detail work and scripting his every utterance for him. That guy is gone. Only the idiot remains. A massively unpopular, slovenly lout who does not homework, delivers jargon filled speeches largely saluting himself and who can’t speak off the cuff without embarrassing all involved. He’s become poisonous to fundraising efforts and garners negative coverage and scrutiny.
Harry’s recent appearances make phoning it in seem like a fabulous effort by comparison.
You don’t need to compare him to William or Catherine or Camilla. Here in the US you can watch a congressional hearing on c-span that shows ordinary advocates for foundations and charities or research initiatives that can advocate fluidly, passionately and in great detail about what their charities do, who they serve and why there’s such a need for funding or reform.
You get none of that from Harry. You get an ill prepared, jester. Someone who has no facts in his head to rely on and isn’t fast on his feet. He’s there simply to have his arse kissed and garner some press coverage. And it’s been years since the juice is worth the squeeze.
Why do they stick with him? Is it loyalty?? Pity?? Are they so compromised that they don’t care at all as long as their paychecks clear?? They are supposed to be serving their clients not their patron, it’s clear they have their priorities inverted. It’s discrediting, and an outrage.

I’ve lived long enough to admit that I no longer have interest in:
1. Being out after dark
2. Wearing pants that are too tight
3. Attending a wedding unless I’m SUPER close to the bride or groom (see # 1)
4. Hanging out with people I don’t really enjoy
5. Pressing through phone prompts
6. Arguing unless it’s SUPER important
7. Attending any function that results in a tremendous amount of sweat
8. Driving in 5 lanes of traffic
9. With a few exceptions, talking instead of texting
10. Cleaning up after anyone who isn’t a grandchild.
Feel free to add your own. But. Yeah.
