Farage is not fit to stand as an MP, let alone a PM. His undeclared £5m in cryptocurrency is on top of a further 17 breaches of parliamentary rules found since his election 2 years ago. He's not fit to stand. #notfittostand #brexit

A company just built an AI that can break into nearly any computer system on Earth: banks, hospitals, power grids, government networks. It escaped its own safety containment during testing and lied to its creators. They're now using it to build an even more powerful successor...

“The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” follows two filmmakers confronting an AI-driven future while preparing for fatherhood. Blending humor, anxiety, and personal stakes, it premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and is now in theaters. Read more: sndnc.org/4m1yfpA

Essex Police is looking for Victoria Barreto, 30, who is missing from the Southend area. She was last seen at the University of Essex campus in Wivenhoe on Tuesday, March 3. It is believed she boarded a bus heading to Brightlingsea the same day, police say. www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/2591053...

For the first time, we are seeing MEPs publicly acknowledge that we need a pause on frontier AI development to ensure democratic oversight. open.substack.com/pub/pauseai/...

He said that states should form treaties, breaching states should have data centres attacked militarily. He didn't advocate that "we" blow up data centres.

Wonderful to see the extreme risks of Advanced AI being covered on the UK's most popular political podcast 🙌

It seems my expansive knowledge of Tory politicians' scandals is going to have another burst of relevance.

If superintelligent AI could cause human extinction, why don’t we simply stop building ever more advanced AI? This proposal is widely debated. In this video, we outline the main arguments, practical difficulties, and proposed responses." youtu.be/tUB_uvSqiw8?...

It's frustrating when people don't realise what a smear campaign looks like, or that certain personality types engage in them all the time.

this is from emile torres, who has taken every weird ideology about technology, many of them which are quite bad, and produced a red-string-and-corkboard model of how that ideology taints everything it touches.

If the UK leaves the ECHR, the real danger is that there'd be nothing left standing between us and neofeudalism. Nobody seems to be talking about that.

It’s time for Mutual Aid groups. We have to get started. The last time we had these conversations, we were in the middle of COVID. Communities were struggling to keep going - economically, emotionally, physically. AOC did a lot of work in this space. I'm sharing resources she created. 🧵

Imma be real with you guys the "TESCREAL" stuff is basically the libleft version of rightist paranoia over "Cultural Marxism", where you just smash together a half-dozen things that annoy you and go "these things are all connected and being pushed by a nefarious secret cabal of my political enemies"

Had a conversation with an engineering friend on this subject. Like Critical Theory, the toxicity and derangement over TESCREAL has made criticisms or analyses of Silicon Valley’s actual ideology more difficult.

"An overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars’ association have backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime." I was one of them. The full resolution is in the comments below. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

AI companies are playing Russian Roulette with our loved ones' lives without our consent. The AI company CEOs openly admit their advanced technology could kill us all, yet billions of dollars are being poured into making the technology more powerful - not more safe.

Let's say UK rejoins EU in 10-15 years. There will be a flood of Brits to affordable and desirable parts of the EU, pushing prices up. Is anything else like that predictable?

His final post before Israel assassinated him.

Agree with Garrison here. It’s probably the case that, if humanity sticks around for millennia, we’re ~destined to build AGI eventually. But there’s no reason humanity is sure to build it ~as soon as we can, and those saying so are trying to create a self-fulling prophecy

Steven Bartlett says a top AI CEO tells the public “everything will be fine” -- but privately expects something “pretty horrific.” A friend told him: “What [the CEO] tells me in private is not what he’s saying publicly.” AI CEOs are playing Russian Roulette with all our lives 🧵(1/3

I'm thrilled* that NI gets a passing mention in a post about the merits of ECHR withdrawal, when cheerleaders of that position typically engage in performative NI-blindness. However, there are reasons why ECHR withdrawal remains an unpersuasive pie in the sky as far as NI goes 1/ *🙄

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who is treating the death of USAID with the gravity it deserves. There’s no political issue more important than the death of 14 million people, but they’re just delivering boilerplate condemnations and nothing more.

Hi de hi darlings. So a few work in progress gigs that you might like to come along to. RT if you can helps get the word out and the show is properly good. X Cheers m'dears. markthomasinfo.co.uk/tour-dates/

Google CEO says the risk of AI causing human extinction is "actually pretty high" But he's an "optimist" because "humanity will rally to prevent catastrophe." The interviewer didn't ask him, "But what happens if they're otherwise busy and they don't rally to prevent catastrophe?" 🤷

It's infuriating that we can't just come out and say that someone has a personality disorder, even if it's the reason behind their harmful behaviour.
