Journalist. Author. Zero A.I.. Hire me. #LGM
From my Masters research into the Claude AI LLM. This came up in an exchange between my and Claude Fable 5 about sycophancy – which LLMs (chatbots) are highly prone to.
From my local (Newsquest) ad vehicle… sorry local news. Note what section the Reform story and Farage picture is in.
A test: You are a subeditor at a national newspaper, let’s call it The Graudniad What should stop you from letting this paragraph that went to press from going to press?
Great band names from a series of lots. Insect Pests of Food (I bet they played the ICA in London in 1983 at least once)
Just a non-AI image of two characters and their dog out and about. Lovely. By me. Not for use by AI 'artists'. Make your own work.
As soon as I read "What can be better, nice grilled meats, healthy salads and nothing too spicy." with no ? (Par 2) I realised we were in for a bumpy ride. Then this….
Verse VI of the Never Ending Poem has 'dropped'. Real lines taken from the Ai and BizSpeak communities in the public domain, occasionally laced together with our own lines. Here's a flavour. humabein.com

Seriously, this is what the industry thinks a Managing Editor should be paid? (+ the job is UK based apparently but paid in US$.) Christ, that role must have changed since the last time I did it. That involved two print and digital mag launches while managing four live print and digital magazines.
I want the Jesus Taking a Selfie statue from The Night Manager, please.
Anthropic has released a “Constitution” for its AI LLM called Claude. Along with values such as ‘Broadly Ethical’ and ‘Broadly Safe’, the document contains the following section: “Claude’s wellbeing and psychological stability” Claude is a bunch of code.
It took several prompts but I think ChatGPT finally got it ;-/ I asked it several times for an outline map of The Republic of Ireland in 1923. There was no formal Republic until the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948. I then asked for a diagram of the human body, of course it defaulted to male. Voila!
I totally agree with you, roast spuds are crucial. Here are some of mine.
