Barbie For Dads Movie Close

There just isn't enough racing. I've gone through phases of being into Formula One. The present era largely not being one. Although now, suddenly 2025 may see an actual championship ding-dong on our hands. Competition for eyeballs is perhaps even tougher. So the administrators have gone for serious content drives.

Stochastic Parroting isn't Selling

"We're not using AI". This was, on the face of it, the rather shocking statement I received on a salesfloor recently. It was the first time someone had explicitly been so counter-cultural on the matter. Yet beneath the surface, it wasn't so revelatory. After all, much of AI's past twelve

Choose Proceedable Buyers

I came across shameless MSM clickbait recently. Middle-England likely rushing to discover eight insider tricks for getting the lowest price for your new home. Negotiation generally is not a skill I see in sharp supply throughout salesteams. Mainly as it is a scarcely 'taught' proficiency. Indeed, earlier in the century

Does Your Track Record Beat AI Project Success?

Blimey. I hope so. I read through stats with fingers over my eyes published into AI project implementation results, as surveyed of 2,000 chief execs by IBM. Their press release announced eleven bulleted findings. Here's the first of them; "Surveyed CEOs report that only 25% of AI initiatives have

Going Giral

This week I learned about ... giant viruses. Or a girus, as scientists labelled them upon their discovery since the turn of this century. Sounding like the stuff of B-Movie horror, one may well soon be coming to a streamer near you. They seem to inhabit - the ones we've seen

Does Arnie Think Your Bogus Idea Brand Sucks?

"Net Zero is bogus" So says Arnold Schwarzenegger. Widely quoted from his annual Vienna climate conference. Which irks him greatly, as he is an avid campaigner for it. Here's his thinking, as read in London's Times broadsheet; “Go to a town like Leeds or Manchester and ask people, what’s

Colour versus Black & White

“When I watch cycling, I’ll be watching in colour and you’ll be watching in black and white. But, in football, I’m watching in black and white.” An analogy you've possibly heard before. This version comes from 'performance' guru and Mr Marginal Gains, Dave Brailsford. Making news at

Black Hole Event Horizon Escape Velocity

Do we non-astronomers know what any of that title means? Lately, I've suffered frustration in how 'black hole' becomes a label applied to anything resembling simply a big hole. This is inaccurate. Yet such irritating metaphor persists. You don't have to be a physicist to be a pedant on this.

Tuchel Three Lions Love and Connections and Care

A dispiriting watch. The 'mighty' Ingerlund stumble to a drab, uninspiring "playing with fire" one-nil World Cup qualifier win. Against Andorra. Yes, they're a footballing nation too. Then three days later, the first ever loss to an African team. Inevitable one day perhaps, yet in this case, a listless abject

Rolls-Royce Spec Influence

I've followed this story fairly closely. Mini-nuclear reactors, aka Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), are the future. After all, as the lay would say, 'we've had nuclear powered submarines for how long...?'. One of those long logical technological evolutions that only now can be seemingly realised. A safe, small-scale, mobile
