I’m smack bang in the demographic for being replaced by an LLM for people who think the output from them is good enough.

I have no desire to retire from writing, so I’ll need to formulate alternative ways to generate cash from writing for the next decade.

Challenges are good. They keep your brain active. Maybe. That’s probably bollocks and whether your brain deteriorates past age 60 is likely down to #StupidBiology and luck.

Mine seems to work as well as it ever has. But others may disagree!

A slight change to the format in this week’s digest. I’m going embed more Tweets and other content (like from IMDb) going forward. Making it an actual review of stuff I’ve posted to Twitter and elsewhere each week.

Five article pointers this week. I had to drop a few that were going to be included but are behind paywalls. There are also 19 new music releases. Another good week for new stuff. Like most weeks! Find me on Twitter to discuss anything. Except for temperature measurement scales ☺️
