Awake early on Saturday morning with lurgy. So I have assembled a pile of photos on a simple theme. Europe is beautiful. Take a virtual trip with me back round my travels.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

I think it behooves us to be skeptical of stories about AI driving people to believe wrong things and commit ugly actions. Not that I like the AI slop that is filling up our social media, but when we look at the ways that AI is harming us, slop is pretty low on the list.

See what you did there. Which is odd as the story goes that you can always see what I'm doing.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everyone’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why people fell for him.”

Carl Jung, 1946.
