Watched Rye Lane (2023) by an author from letterboxd.com
Two twenty-somethings, both reeling from bad break-ups, connect over the course of an eventful day in South London – helping each other deal with their nightmare exes, and potentially restoring their faith in romance.

Had some big laughs with this. It is shot a bit like a student’s final project, where it feels like they’re going for extra credit, but I liked that for the most part. And I really enjoyed the tour of Brixton and Peckham. Made a nice change!

My review

There’s lots of examples going around of generative AI giving bad results but here’s a fun thing you can try at home. Works best if you’re a nobody. Ask ChatGPT (or any similar technology) what it knows about you (based on your first name, last name). In my case ChatGPT decided that my name was just a pseudonym for a famous person with the same last name and asserted that we were the same people.

See how it works for you. Based on the results, you might consider this tech a viable platform for factual information or you might not.

It’s polling day in the UK, which means we’ll have seamless, live coverage of absolutely nothing until 10pm when the polls close. Then we’ll have an exit poll and live coverage of nothing happening for several more hours, until the first counts come in. In fact, the next 18 hours of news in the UK will contain very little actual news.
