Very opaquely written, doesn't explain terms but tldr I got that hyperscalers internalized the constraint of spending tokens and allowed the models to optimise for that so that vanilla users (customers in the old business) got left behind.

This article is just excellent. And spot on in a bunch of ways. I've been working in Silicon Valley for just shy of 30y and this place is unrecognizable. Nothing gets made here anymore except money for the oligarchs at the top of VC firms. Thanks

Weird feeling watching SW1/commentariat picking through the pronouncements of Andy Burnham. Read his words carefully. He sends out signals while often leaving himself space to move, sometimes to positions quite far away from the signals.

Hot Fuzz is about the violence of stasis, the villages inability to change with time and process loss ultimately causes it to become reactionary as it increasingly aggressively polices its own idea of itself. The escalation to murder, including of their own, the ultimate expression of that futility.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.

Rousseau said that the greatest trick ever played was that the rich managed to get the poor to use their strength against themselves. That was in 1762. You would have thought we would have seen through it by now.

For clarity, today was the day the UK was going to ban imports of jet fuel and diesel made from Russian oil regardless of where it is refined. Last night, Starmer's government decided not to ban these imports, and instead to continue funding Putin's war machine. The EU banned them in January.
