Getting a bit of an Upstart Crow vibe from this, which can only be a good thing! (That also featured Noel Fielding as the composer Thomas Morley.)

And the Holiday Special?

I get the impression companies have already started firing employees based on the promise that ChatGPT can do their job. It feels like jumping the gun, though. Have we had enough time to actually validate that incorporating LLMs into various roles doesn’t diminish the quality of the work/product?

I’m checking out a lot of the non-prog musical references in the first series of Brian Pern. In addition to Roxy Music, Judge Dread and ‘Popcorn’ by Hot Butter, they also mention a wonderful disco track called ‘Automated Lover’.

Why the hell would Apple ever make a car???

I’m much more about 70s Prog Rock — think Jethro Tull, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Van Der Graaf Generator, that sort of thing.

I remember the first Miyazaki film I ever saw — a bootleg rental of Spirited Away with subtitles of ambiguous accuracy and provenance.

Elon: “I told that lady I’d pay for that cake! What more do you want? Workplace dignity is not hardcore!”

So a period piece about Duran Duran, Roxy Music, presumably through the eyes of a fictitious music fan (or ‘New Romancer’). That sounds pretty cool!

He looks like if someone pasted Bautista’s face onto Tony Hale.

Could this just be stealth marketing for Hollywood’s latest attempt to recall Axel?

This feels like the sort of idea Steve Jobs would have turned down. (Along with the Touch Bar, which I’m relishing not having to deal with on my new laptops. I can slide my fingers along the top row all I want without accidentally typing something... it just feels good, man.)

Sounds like he has a bad home life. I hope he’s able to get clear of all the drama and straighten his life out.

My predictions for the Tesla Roadster:

Oh, well done!

‘House of Illuminati’ is just how the AI spells ‘Interactive Huts’.

What, you weren’t in the mood? Mood’s a thing for cattle and loveplay, not Twin Peaks Day!

Give us the technical details! Is it selvedge? Right hand twill, left hand twill, or something more interesting? 11oz, 13oz, 16oz — or are they going hardcore with some of that heavy-duty 21oz fabric?

Milk? Who the hell knows. But every car can benefit from some Cream.

‘Max Manager’ sounds like a shelf-stacking convenience store simulation game from the 90s. (Hey, they’d probably call it ‘Maxis Manager’...)
