Help
Honestly the only people who wholeheartedly support AI are the awful tech bros who are desperate to rinse every penny they can put of it before the bubble bursts and who are currently sucking up to trump to get hefty government contracts out of it, or immoral sleazebags who are fine with art being stoped and are making their own money out of it by becoming "artists" themselves with their crappy stolen soulless slop.

The latest I heard is that AI is scraping warehouses full of of old books for their data and then destroying them after.
I dunno who needs to be told at this point but "The people burning books" have never ever been on the right side of history.

On holiday with the family in Mallorca. Hotter than I can conceive of but it's great. We have a nice hotel and the kids are having a blast. Going on a dolphin watching boat trip on Wednesday!

This is funny, we were this close to heading to Mallorca from our UK trip as an extra holiday inside the holiday…we might have run into you! We only decided against it on time constraints reasons.
Enjoy!

I'm choosing to believe that you heard I was here and cancelled your trip because of it and now I'm offended!

For sure next time!
Tomorrow, the Cheddar Gorge and Glastonbury Tor for me!
My son saw Sudely castle today and watching a 7.5 year old lock into an on site documentary on Katherine Parr, Thomas Seymour and Henry VIII after seeing Parr’s tomb was I think…a canon event. I’ve made a Tudor history nerd.

Did you know that if you utter the words "Tudor History Nerd" you will summon TRB in a puff of smoke and she'll deliver a lecture about how Ann Boleyn is the most misunderstood woman in history or something.

You called?
For the record, I do a pretty good "Katherine Parr was a screaming badass" lecture too.
Glad your son enjoyed himself QT! One of us, one of us, one of us....
