When talking of AI people seem (to me) to focus on "intelligence" rather than "artificial." But the whole issue is not AI's ability to handle and sift data, but its actual artificiality - allowing our thought & action to be directed without a human bond. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


This is one of the most moving scenes in any film I've ever watched. Robert Duvall plays 'Boo' Radley, a recluse of whom the neighbourhood is afraid. He saves the life of Scout Finch (played by Mary Badham), & this is the moment when his many secret kindnesses to her bear fruit.

On Christmas Day, 1962 this powerful film premiered. Do you remember it?

I've got a great idea for a TV show. Okay, so a grizzled, facially-challenged gunslinger is on a quest with a naive young woman across difficult territory where other people are trying to kill them... Oh wait...

Don't let anyone kid you that 'Stalker' is Tarkovsky's best film. It's good, it's fascinating, but 'Andrei Rublev' leaves it far behind.

On this day, 59 years ago, Andrei Tarkovsky's 'Andrei Rublev' (1966) premiered in St. Petersburg, Soviet Union.

All AI should be made to say "Bidi bidi bidi" before giving any answer, to remind people it's a machine generated response.

Also arrived yesterday, bought because it looks like fun! Each day out of 365 has an entry of relevance to acts of queer resistance that happened on that day.

Just arrived yesterday. This book is an invaluable research resource, a marvellous telling of the case that both rattled the British establishment's assumptions about primogeniture and kick-started the moral panic that has dogged transgender people to this day.
