I am reading this book as a naive user of AI in research and daily life. It made me think deeply and consider the capabilities but also the issues/risks from AI with consequences on all levels of our lives. One consequence for me, I felt for quite some time uneasy about using Amazon. Today I have decided to cancel my subscription and consciously buy from local or small businesses.

Super miffed at my Sony UHD player - it just died - look on the web and find numerous people saying the same for that model. It dies and the only fix is a whole board replacement for nearly as much as the player costs. So (a) #repairrecyclereuse is no use when the fault is devasting and unknown (still) and (b) anyone who likes to hack electronics, have I got a dead UHD player for *you* #uhd #london #deadtronics
