Fun fact: the guest network at my workplace asks for an email. The verification they use to check if it's actually an email address seems to be some form of *@*. Like, if I use "a@a", it parses fine. So, yeah. Someone in IT read "Falsehoods programmers believe about email".

OK So I said that I would go on this rant about AI last thursday, but dammit it was a long day and I got really dammed tired, and yesterday I was out for most of it. But today, Today I've got most of the afternoon to commit to bullshit before Eurovision starts.

Anyway did anyone remember the Willy Wonka "Immersive" experience in Glasgow earlier this year? It's going to be an odd intersection given that I am going to be shifting into the world of fiction but it's connected.

If you didn't or it passed you by, well it was this year's "Fyre Festival" not quite to the scale of that shit show, but a shit show non the less.

Well you may be asking what the hell has this to do with AI? And that is a good question, but one answer Billy Coul. Who is Billy Coul? He's an AI grifter from Glasgow, he was responsible for that said shit show. He used AI to do things for that said event (Namely art assets and to write a nonsense script). Also before that said shit show went down, he flooded Amazon with 17 AI-produced books.

As you would expect from the man that gave us the "Meth Lab Ompa Looma", they are also total garbage.

This question makes zero sense 

@socks Yes. Yes, he is

@mia Smart Cards. Smart Cards are cool. (My laptop actually has a built-in smart card reader, if I ever wanted to use them for authentication!)
