A Yamaha TRBX 504 bass propped precariously against a bookshelf next to a rack of guitars.

A can of Pentire Seaward and Tonic.
A picture of Toji from Jujutsu Kaisen. The picture's resting on a yellow armchair.
A bowl full of mixed dried fruits soaking in rum. Because brandy is boring. It's not just currants, raisins and peel like your nondescript Standard Cake. There's chopped figs, dates, apricots, cranberries, prunes... Probably some more stuff I forgot I put in. We don't do half measures when it comes to Christmas cake in this house.
"But AI large-language models, trained on billions of words of human writing have already started to show they can be motivated at least by concepts of pleasure and pain"

According to research 52% of engineering firms will use generative AI in the next year, but many are still not sure how best to apply it and deal with the benefits (and potential risks). The section from "According to... " through to "...next year" has been underlined clumsily in red.
Excerpt from the article linked in the original post: "You cannot say that the country has been ruled against its will. Since 2010, the Tories have emerged as the winner of the popular vote... ...in three elections".

Some delicious (UK-style) flapjacks. Which aren't pancakes.
