Far be it from me to assume they've done anything sensible but MAYBE it'll turn out to be a good thing to (vaguely) hold back on the spending a year before dozens of better players already settled in Manchester suddenly become available at bargain prices or even free transfers

Ben Wheatley's new film, Bulk, just arrived. It wasn't in theaters and he's not streaming it. It only exists on disc. I don't even know if it's one of his best, but I feel it's my duty as a film nerd to support both Ben and physical media.

There are so many other journalists I should have mentioned in my Follow Friday tweets last last night who you should follow if you want objective, evidence-based and credible journalism, not least @MiguelDelaney (buy his book) and @philippeauclair.bsky.social (on Blue Sky).

Nick Clegg is now worth an estimated £100m and has joined the board of a data centre company with ambitions to become a $1trn hyperscaler. So propping up a Tory-led austerity coalition seems to have worked out quite well for the guy.

I think that's an OK description of LLMs from 3 years ago, but a poor one now. A lot of this changed with the introduction of the reasoning models. I don't even think Sam/Dario know *exactly* what their products do but it's a lot more robust than "predicting the next token."
