OP here. Thanks for the heads up (Ed's up?). That looks like a good newsletter

When the AI bubble bursts (newslttrs.com)
 

Sooner or later the current AI bubble is going to burst. What's going to happen when it does?

In the 1980s we also downloaded software from TV in c/retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

Have a look at the archived pages here : https://al.zerostem.io/%7Eal/teletext/bbc1/1984-09-04-0060.1/

Teletext pages in the 700 range contained the Telesoftware programs

I would imagine Visicode was similar fare although, for reasons I discuss in the article, they're not very easy to find any more.

I had heard of this but your comment sent me searching for more info. I think you might be referring to Visicode.
