This is the ultimate test for a constitutional order. Either constitutional mechanisms are used to check and balance this, and remove him from office, or they are not. For there can be no greater test for any constitution.

So a great thing about contracts is that they usually have and end date and/or means of ending them. If your university or other organization bent the knee to OpenAI or any of the other chatbot providers, when a contract is up, there is an opportunity for pressure: forms.gle/ZGn5brEGU4t9...

Great choice!

Remembering Len Deighton: Patrick Baglee’s ‘Fry like a spy’, eyemagazine.com/feature/arti... in #Eye87, the food special issue.

Went back to Sec 6 of Stochastic Parrots today (in the context of answering a query from a journalist) and was reminded how thoroughly we grounded that part in a discussion of language use -- y'know as communication between people.

‘Basically everybody in the music business hates Spotify except for the people who work there. It’s a platform that sucks artists for everything they have, it actively prevents community building, and, despite all of that, the platform still struggles to maintain a healthy profit margin.’

Happy Thursday the 12th to all who celebrate it.

Good morning. @fip.fr

ENO’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny goes for the jugular ft.trib.al/oPCj9Gd

RISE AND FALL OF THE CITY OF MAHAGONNY #EnglishNationalOpera #ENO - This is a patchily focused pachyderm, says @davidnice.bsky.social: the production sags, but boasts a tireless protagonist in heroic tenor #SimonONeill www.theartsdesk.com/opera/rise-a...

Curtain call from ENO’s container-chic production of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (Weill & Brecht). Simon O’Neill played Jimmy MacIntyre like a less sleazy Steve Bannon. Superb music, well played and sung.

Lovely review, but when did British people start saying 'Rube Goldberg' instead of 'Heath Robinson'? This makes me sad.

For those joining Bluesky from the Bad Place: welcome. Yes, you could/should have made the decision sooner, but it is never too late to make a good decision. And there is a lot on this site which will remind you of the Bad Place before it was bad.

The latest Reith lecture is well worth listening to, www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... The notorious bit of BBC censorship doesn’t make a huge difference: it is clear from the lecture what he thinks about Trump, whether we’d been informed about the cut or otherwise. #moralrevolution

Farage et al really mustn't be allowed to walk away from this scandal, and its wider implications: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?
