I’ve given half dozen talks to uni Ss past few weeks & in all of them have gone off on Ai & how we can’t give up what makes us human, the importance of struggling, of making mistakes, & all the decisions & surprises along the way that makes us who we are. We won’t be robbed of this. Ss don’t want it

One amusing byproduct of the Labour leadership candidates advocating the UK returning to Europe is that Farage will be forced back onto what is now, for obvious reasons, his least favourite subject: Brexit. Let’s see him forced to defend it in every interview.

The far right might be loud. But we know that hope is louder, love is brighter and unity is stronger. We won’t let division define us. 👉 Share this post to make it clear: the majority stands for love over hate.

C'mon Cymru. Let's be rational. If you're considering voting for Reform, you're voting for an English nationalist party who basically despise the devolved nations and probably Wales in particular. They also are on record as wanting to get rid of the NHS which in Wales is devolved. Think on that.

It doesn't save you time ... and it makes you vulnerable to the agenda of anyone who builds these models. I grew up when you had to go to the library and read reference books until you stumbled upon info to learn ... search engines & the world on the internet definitely did save time.

Don’t worry – the robots aren’t coming for your job Trillions of dollars of investments rest on one assumption: you can trust AI agents with real work. Now, a landmark, peer-reviewed study says you can’t – no wonder Wall Street is getting nervous (Bahahahahaaa!)

I’m sorry, but everyone now knows exactly what Reform stands for, so if you vote for them, you’re a nasty racist with no respect for other humans. No ‘I didn’t know’ or ‘the other parties have let me down’ excuses now. Shame on them and shame on you.

In Cardiff Market today, I chanced upon the glorious little Wunderkammer of Words that is "Stories for You" manned by the charming Adam - who extemporized an excellent short story for me, while I sat surrounded by art, curios and twinkly lights. I felt like the protagonist of a cosy-fantasy.

A TV advert, for supposedly 'targeted' adverts on linkedin doesn't seem very well targeted. I mean, most people who are just watching TV (such as myself) aren't really in the market for buying advertising services.
