Pretty ‘out therek position for the UK govt to take on Kanye .. wonder when they’ll ban the rest of them❓

Interesting - though not unexpected switch on Claude …

Oh - you have run out of tokens - buy more? Click here.

… and I swear to god - two days ago on the click you chose how much. (5 bucks typically does it for me.)

Today - choose one: 50, 250, 1,000, other.

Click on other - you get to enter 5 bucks.

🔗 Asymco Bulletin 006 – Mar 28, 2026

In Apple’s first 50 years it shipped 5.13 billion computers. This shipment total is higher than any other computer company in its first 50 years. There actually are no other PC makers that are 50 years old.

🔗 Long odds and unseen differences - Seth

Buy the best story you can afford, with all the benefits it comes with. But don’t be confused by the odds or tiny differences. They’re probably zero.

🔗 A preponderance of pap

… always like JP’s posts - even the cricket ones. (This is not about cricket.)

🔗 John Battelle’s Search Blog Product, Platform, Interface, Medium, Language: What Is AI?

Regardless, as I struggle to find a handle by which to pick up the concept of AI, there’s something about “language” that feels appropriate. Maybe AI is, in fact, equivalent to a new language, one we’re just learning to speak. That certainly rings true to me.

If you follow me you will know that I don’t always listen to Lenny - but a big fan of his - and when he has a great guest … 🤯 .. 🔗🎙️ Simon Willison is one such great guest.

Yes .. I did watch it .. a while back .. unmemorable .. but know that you now don’t have to. Nor should you.

Movies - like music, books, art et al is not a competition. I hate 'best' in those terms. So star ratings have always been hard for me. They have to be seen in the context of the reviewer. A ★★★★★ movie in this world is not necessarily better than a ★ movie - it's just that is how I feel.

➕

The inspiration for my ★ rating comes from @derekpeden - thank you sir, modified slightly to accommodate my personal watching habits. If this footer is on one of my book, film or TV reviews - the stars fit the guide above. Going forward - I will append my reviews with this footer. Over time I will revisit prior reviews and update.

★★★★★ So Good - A personal favourite

★★★★☆ Excellent - well worth a watch

★★★☆☆ Enjoyed - recommend

★★☆☆☆ Not Bad - BUT - only a 'kinda' recommendation - with (many?) caveats

★☆☆☆☆ Not for me

🔗 What could POSSIBLY go wrong❓

Some of the banks have agreed to spend tens of millions on the chatbot, and they have already started integrating Grok into their I.T. systems, three of the people said.

I watched it because it’s Jason .. sad that he keeps making the same movie .. even sadder is that I keep watching them.
