Well no, expression is precisely a function of intelligence and the face has evolved specifically to pass non-verbal signals of that sort whereas the feet have not. However, I know whereof you speak and me and your mum are worried about you.

- Comment on Hype-fueling science fiction or plausible scenarios? 1 month ago:
Thanks, I do want to read that as I do not believe the current developments in AI to be hype, I think it is probably an inflection point in our civilisation. More even than that really, I think in a universal way an argument could be made the point of organic intelligence is to bring about inorganic intelligence. But it is an afternoon read and I have to find an afternoon.

- Comment on If you have a thread 9.6trillion millimeter in length, you can circle the earth with it for about 239.5 times. 1 month ago:
This isn’t a shower thought it’s a shower fact, assuming the maths is accurate. It is the same as defining as a thought as the idea that when you heat water its temperature increases.
- Comment on Sick notes to be overhauled in back-to-work drive, Liz Kendall reveals 1 month ago:
This is a pure Orwellian management of ill health in a population. Universal good health being manufactured across the nation not by improvement in the health services and the kind treatment of people but by prohibition of the concept of sickness.

- Comment on Keir Starmer’s Government Has Quietly Beefed Up Its Workers’ Rights Bill to Make It More Pro-Worker 2 months ago:

- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 2 months ago:
Do you think Google is proud of this work, do you think the people working on double serving ads feel pride in their ‘experimentations’. In their personal time and at the end of their lives will they be happy they took things people liked and made them worse, even unusable for their money. That their only contribution was to scrawl their mess over that of others. Do they cling to the idea that it makes delivery free at the point of use as they make far more from their low practices than they from would honest subscriptions. Are they glad that their living makes the world more mundane. Happy to mar the endeavours of humanity, and as we push into space and maybe meet other intelligences ours will be the only ships with ads for toilet rolls on the outside. And throughout all of this shame the kicker is we would buy toilet rolls anyway.
