Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th August 2025.

30th August, 2025.

Right, then: it’s Saturday.

And … ?

For starters, I’ll have finished my Star Trek review, tonight: “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” is very funny!

On top of that … ?

I’ve caught the most recent episode of Foundation: “Skin in the Game” has seen Lee Pace putting in one hell of a performance as Brother Day*.

What else … ?

Oh, yes: I’ve woken up with MrWeebl’s “Shrimp Glockenspiel” earworming its way through my head.

Why, I don’t know.

But the video has bongo-playing crabs, if that’s any help … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th August, 2019.

30th August, 2019.

Isn’t it amazing what happens … when you mention Boris?

Frankly?

You’ll get someone — I owe regular, Olga a thank you, there — mentioning Hugh Grant.

It seems he’s offended by the Johnson administration’s decision to prorogue Parliament, as well.

You will not fuck with my children’s future. You will not destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend. Fuck off you over-promoted rubber bath toy. Britain is revolted by you and you little gang of masturbatory prefects. https://t.co/Oc0xwLI6dI

Good going, Hugh.

Oh, JUST as a side issue … ?

It seems Alibaba CEO, Jack Ma, and Tesla head, Elon Musk, were at a conference, yesterday: having a debate about the benefits and perils of artificial intelligence.

Personally?   I’m aware AI’s introduction will have an negative impact: but generally think it’s going to be a long term benefit.

I’m just surprised that noted science fiction fan, Elon Musk, is noticeable anti-AI: as he’s named a couple of his ship landing platforms after AI characters in the Iain M. Banks novels.

And probably familiar with these words …

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Granted we’re still learning to build AI: and Mr Musk seems to have not realised we’re human … and like adding built in safety features …

I hope Mr Musk realises that …
