Need’st not strive Officiously

 

I have a lot of time for the RSPCA, I really do. In the main, they do a lot of good in helping wildlife and mistreated pets. However: I do wish they would have sworn not to act officiously. They had the best intentions, I am sure, but what they did was take a placid, friendly, even affectionate tom cat and turn him into a frightened, aggressive and vicious creature. For the best intentions. But if I had that RSPCA official here I’d bite them.

Spooky? No, not really

I’ve been discovering the strange world of artificial intelligence. It’s been in the public eye a lot lately, with the screen writer’s strike and many actors joining in. I can see their point. If a film/TV studio can save megabucks by using a computer to write their scripts, then what is the point of hiring real people? To be honest, sometimes I think they have been using A.I. for donkey’s years with all the cut-and-copy films out in the past decade or so. Rehashes of what has already been done, instead of coming up with something new. But still, it is reprehensible of the studios to even spread the rumour that that is what they were planning.
