\nOne more #thankYouToday to make up for that rant.
\nI got a Nebula subscription for my birthday and it’s been wonderful.
\nI got it to support Tom Scott and his delightful “England” series. But my whole family are binge-watching Jet Lag, and I’ve enjoyed the chaotic comedy of Abolish Everything too.

Today I saw another classic example of ridiculous LLM use. A “skill” that contained a bunch of plain English instructions:
– ask the user to make this choice
– store the choice as “something”
– if “something” is this then do this thing
Sort of a #thankYouToday (perhaps I need a different tag?) is for the BBC’s “13 Minutes” space history podcast. Real quality radio about the race to space and beyond. Every series has been massively interesting and very well produced and story-told. This season is about the Hubble Space Telescope.
