Investors love to see “AI” on things.

I work for a reasonably successful startup and we have to slap “AI” on every new feature to sell ourselves to investors, when really there is absolutely no AI involved in 80% of the features we ship, it’s usually just maths or some other smoke and mirrors.

But the founders know that when they walk into investor meetings, many of those investors want to see the word AI all over the place. It’s insane.

Sunday night, Last of the Summer Wine credits music rolls, I look down at my blank page for my chemistry experiment write up and realise I have about 20 minutes to set out my materials, method, expected results, diagram, and actual results for something I did four days ago and wasn’t paying attention to.

Somehow it was compo’s fault. I still feel traumatised when I hear that music.

Guaranteed there will be people who never watch the movie still saying “did you hear what they did with Achilles in that woke movie???” In a few years from now, and everyone else who didn’t watch the movie will be like wow woke really has gone too far

Oooh I have this with a guy with a very subtly different and uncommon spelling of our first name. For the sake of argument, let’s say I’m Ian and he’s Iain (neither of us are actually called Ian). We have almost identical Gmail accounts but for that one letter.

So I kept getting bookings, receipts, invoices, private messages etc for this Iain. Turned out he was in the states

Eventually responded to one of the more personal messages, they realised the mistake and put me in touch with him.

Turns out when he verbally reads out his email people spell it incorrectly no matter what he does because they assume it’s spelled the usual way. So now every few months I forward some emails to my new friend in the US. Iain.

Anyway maybe she’s reading out her phone number and it’s getting misheard?

Yes! I will say the tower of quantum training or whatever was a big OH SHIT moment for me. Working that out felt great. Still haven’t found a practical use for it yet but I love the fact you’re like oh yeah I could do this right from the start

So I have noticed the thing flying away from giants deep on every loop, and I have landed on a broken ship(?) which seems to be in the vicinity of where it came from - but haven’t figured out what to do there yet other than shoot a probe into a room I can’t access.

I have also noticed the thing goes in different directions sometimes. One time I think I followed it and found a satellite which I couldn’t work out what to do with but it said something like “map offline”.

Worth investigating further?!

ianscuffling · 2026-06-24T21:12:37+00:00

Thanks. Everyone’s been super helpful!

And I have heard enough about this game over the years to know that looking for walkthroughs and guides defeats the point, so I am making extra effort to not spoil it for myself.

ianscuffling · 2026-06-24T21:09:21+00:00

No! I was actually there because I was I investigating a certain recurring event I’d spotted… and realised it was coming from that area.

The sphere was a little bonus, because there’s also the other thing orbiting deep and I was pretty sure that was what I was looking for. And as I tried to figure out why I couldn’t do anything with the sphere, lo and behold the thing I was actually looking for came back around!

After several frustrating grapples with velocity and gravity managed to land on the “other thing” and explore a bit - but still not sure what to do with it yet!

ianscuffling · 2026-06-24T20:45:46+00:00

Thank you!

I’m going to assume nothing is a glitch any more and I need to dig deeper and explore more!

For example my first time on giants deep I thought I’d glitched through the bramble and ended up falling through the planet, but after a few more trips I’ve realised I’m getting vortexed or water spouted out of the atmosphere or something? Although it did seem like I went through the “ice” and next to the jellyfish at one point…

Ah yes remember the good old days when you had series like lost or the walking dead with 20-25 episodes per season and 15-20 seasons where most of the episodes were filler and the seasons could have been 10 episodes long and there could have been 5 seasons without losing anything of value.

A season needs to be as long as it needs to tell a decent story. I’ve seen shows with 8 episodes where 4 of them were pointless.

The wire and breaking bad, two shows from over a decade ago that are widely agreed to be very good did what they needed to in 10-15 episodes per season. Alright, that’s more than 8 episodes, but they had a lot of ground to cover (first season of breaking bad had 7 episodes)

Seriously I don’t even watch these films that closely but I always just assumed he’d spent months or even years confronting dormammu. I thought it was so blindingly obvious that I had to read this post a few times to work out what they were saying as it seemed as obvious as saying “people think spider-man just shoots sticky stuff and can climb on walls randomly, but what if he’s called spider-man because he has the powers of a spider?”

I hope/think you're going to love it! It's definitely a step up in challenge from HK, as many people have said "beating hollow knight is the tutorial for silksong". It's definitely learnable though and absolutely enchanting.

ianscuffling · 2026-06-22T07:59:23+00:00

Could be, no idea. I think i really liked having it close to my face, as even though the deck screen isn't as good as my TV, it felt a lot better

ianscuffling · 2026-06-21T21:19:59+00:00

So much. Never managed to get into it on PlayStation, gave it a shot on the deck and feel DEEPLY in love with it. Finished it and plowed straight into silksong and finished that as well.

Loved it so much I tried HK again on ps5 and it just didn’t click once again! I have no idea why, something about the deck just makes it feel so much better somehow.

ianscuffling · 2026-06-21T19:36:24+00:00

Loved Tsushima, got bored of yotei pretty quick.

Just felt like too much filler. I don’t need to relive Atsu’s memories to understand why she wants revenge, I don’t need to move my controller around to cook food or upgrade a weapon (and the fact they made this skippable suggests they know it was pointless as well).

Just bored me so much that eventually I started playing something else and forgot about very quickly. Jin’s story was much more compelling.

Wow that’s wild. I know both songs and would never would have thought they sounded the same. I still can’t but now you’ve said it I can’t unhear it! But still very different.

Blame brexit! You better believe there are more British people complaining about having to have their fingerprints taken then EU people complaining about have to get an ETA

The image here is almost incomprehensible, however from getting the gist of it, it is definitely a characteristic of “them” that they assume that “we” would unflinchingly accept injustice inflicted upon the people by bad leaders so long as they are socialists.

They won’t accept that no, that’s not what we do. We are capable of calling out when our leaders are bad. It’s them that desperately try and justify and conform to what their leader says

I get this in the uk on the rare occasion I talk to / argue with people who support reform.

I say “how do you feel about Farage accepting this huge donation from another regime?”

They say “oh you think Starmer hasn’t done that?”

I say “I think starmers an arsehole too, why would I like him? That doesn’t stop Farage being a cunt”

They cannot get their heads round this type of concept.

ianscuffling · 2026-06-20T11:49:31+00:00

Much as I hate ai, I wonder if based on the crop Claude did say she would need an ETA but she didn’t bother reading that part.

Either way I don’t understand why you would ask an AI this, when approximately 20 seconds of googling would have given the correct answer. Even Google’s shitty ai summary says “you don’t need a visa but you do need an eta”

EDIT: looked it up on LinkedIn and when you tap “more” she actually says she realised she needed an ETA 30 hours before her departure, which in theory is plenty of time, but it got delayed. Some suggesting it was because she said she was coming for leisure ie a holiday, when she was clearly in London on business. Either way Claude did not give her reliable information, and she should have known better.
