Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.

The crash, it is coming

Just logging on to see the level of intellectual debasement people will publicly submit themselves to, so they can get mad at @whstancil.bsky.social.

An Elliott Smith-ified version of OutKast’s Hey Ya. (Liz Uninvited is great, and you should go follow her.)

It’s the Portland way.

Just a quick moment out of my day to find out in percentage terms how many CEOs I’m smarter than

Properly great. Political sketch writing as art.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

I suppose the Bryson DeChambeau lesson is that hitting a ball really far and being a complete twat does not, in fact, win golf matches. Which is no doubt devastating for golfers across the world.

Quite. So many Labour people on this website visibly have no idea of just how bad things have got for ethnic minorities since they came on, and how their visible indifference lands.

Elton John voice: It seems to me / that you lived your life/ like a fuckin piece of shit

Barry and The Nameless One

Injecting some levity by sharing one of my favourite memes of all time

You know something is happening here but you don’t know what it is

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Again, the exhausting thing for me in the current era is not only being treated like fucking idiots by actual idiots, but the mainstream press position that treating me like a fucking idiot is in fact the reasonable position.

It's seeming likelier and likelier that AI really could eliminate a lot of jobs very soon. Just not in the way boosters have suggested. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

Oh that? That's the gay alarm, only goes off if you're gay. Congrats btw

Attending the Your Party launch event

Me when my wife sees the browser history

Funny old “despite” that

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying. I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

One of the unintentionally impressive things about LLMs is that by dint of huge technical innovation, massive compute costs, and quite a lot of stolen data, they’ve managed to make computers bad at maths.

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

YES YES YES

Begging someone to go into the Google offices and just spend every day yelling at random managers "remember when your products worked? Remember when they worked so well your company name became a verb? Have you considered doing that instead of shoveling this AI dogshit all day????"

Spent the day listening to Philip Glass Violin Concertos because I saw @themountaingoats.bsky.social writing about it the other day. And I’ve got to say there are worse ways to do music recommendations and there are worse ways to spend days.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

How AI dies. My hot and spicy take. onpersuasion.substack.com/p/how-ai-dies

obviously this is mental in and of itself but man alive it really does suck extra hard when you think about all the ACTUAL CRIMES the police just isn't investigating, because of "lack of resources"

speaking of remembering great summer tweets, this Jacob Bacharach one will rattle around in my head forever

I threw a ball for my dog. Extravagant, I know, but it was his 21st birthday.

“Heavy hangs the crown” is….not the phrase. Like, it’s not even close.

Pretty much everyone in pretty much every organisation is totally winging it. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

At a BBQ with a woman who keeps using the word “gumption” when I’m pretty sure she means “chutzpah”. It’s one of the more unusual malapropisms I’ve heard.

Was told the next Pope is Monday 9th May 2016 (am). No Vatican gutter press chimney is enough to persuade me otherwise.

There’s a real joy in watching newscasters vamp. I can’t explain it. Just riffing and riffing while a camera points at a chimney not doing anything. It’s strangely soothing. #conclave

Gordon Ramsey: I ordered steak tartare and you've brought me an omelette? waiter: yeah, chef's a minotaur, he doesn't like doing steak GR: jesus christ, can I speak with him? [waiter starts to gather up his ball of string and disappears into the catacombs] GR: *whispers* fuck me

We live in hell.

Genuine admiration for the ad team that declined to explain AT ALL what a big picture of Zlatan Ibrahimovic has to do with their product.
