We had a first ever AI incident happen on Thursday.

We do not use AI writers on our site. Kat used to work as a content writer and has Big Feelings about what AI did to obliterate the industry. We also strongly oppose the proposals to place AI data centres in Scottish towns to use up our water.

So when we are approached to host a guest post on the blog, we always stipulate that we don't want AI written articles. This week we were approached as normal. The company heard the rules and withdrew the request to guest post because "we use an AI editor and would not meet your requirements".

I thanked them for letting me know and we all moved on. The only moral of this story is to keep fighting AI.

I wrote a review on the thirty quid eBay rock tumbler. It has good slurry.

I came across this person's very, very cool find and just had to share it. Blocked the enquirer's name out for privacy, definitely not our find. This is a cluster of garnets 😮
