Greg Dixon: If they’re shrinking our loo paper, we really are in the crap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The business practice of shrinkflation – reducing the size or weight of a product while leaving the price more or less untouched – is not new, but appears to becoming more widespread.

Then, they came for our Cadbury Roses chocolates, and I did not speak out because in my book they are not really chocolates. Then they came for my toilet paper, and I did not speak out – but this time
Jon Ronson: The manosphere is a sideshow to a deeper crisis facing men (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man is seated alone on a bench at his local park on a weekday. He is trying desperately to will a new idea into existence, to think of a fresh thing he can do to earn his way. But as he sits, a dreadful thought overwhelms him instead: if no new idea comes, if inspiration fails, he will not be a man having ideas at all. He will just be a man sitting alone on a bench at his local park on a weekday. It is the kind of tragicomic scene one expects to find in the work of Jon Ronson, the British-Amer
Greg Dixon: Is daylight saving really daylight robbery? You betcha! (opens the original)

War of the machines: Is AI really coming for us? Photo / Getty Images By the time you read this, we could all be gone. We might all have been obliterated by an evil Artificial Intelligence model with a cutesy name like Poppy or Pippa, and have gone the way of the dodo, the woolly mammoth and Christopher Luxon’s hair. It is a troubling thought that the end of the world might be nigh. But not quite as troubling as the question that’s been dogging me during a week when AI paranoia has gripped the w
Lotto’s changed its odds, here’s a guaranteed way to beat them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Powerball jackpot will increase from $50 million to $60 million – but the odds of winning go from 1-in-38.4 million to 1-in-53.7 million. Imagine winning $28 million. I’m pretty sure you already have. I know I have. And that’s all you and I have ever done, and all we are likely ever to do. What a pack of losers we are. So it is heartening – I say heartening but actually I mean bloody maddening – to learn that one lucky punter from Gisborne this week went from imagining winning $28 million on
