If there was no utility in this type of feature I wouldn’t get so many email newsletters from legal and advisory firms summarising various bits of legislation. The denial of there being good use cases for LLMs on this website is fascinating to me.

I don’t think we should ever feed them. Nature is supposed to be nature!

Just heard a BBC news report that referenced the “special relationship” like it’s a law of nature rather than a totally subjective concept….

I read this about 15 years ago, which tells you a lot about the concept.

These Independent Ireland guys who want to drill for oil would be protesting against the pipeline construction if it was happening!

Absolute scenes in the local community group chat!

I absolutely love that *this* is the red line for life long FF supporters.

Should have got ok Betfair

Almost said something positive about McIlroy to my wife but that would def have jinxed it.

The loudest protestors against fuel prices in Ireland are the same people who would have been anti EV, anti solar etc. Would drive you mad!

If SF are supporting the stuff being fired into my various feeds they are suggesting we cut foreign aid and stop saving into the sovereign wealth fund in order to cut fuel prices.

Generally agree with this. The algos are designed to get an emotional response from you. It only gets worse then if you engage to argue against people etc. Better off barely engaging

I’m all for manned space flight but they don’t need to pretend that the human eyes can see stuff that the cameras can’t.

I just actively try to spend way less time on social media in general. I’ve wasted too much time on it in the past!

Love the concept here that the Royal Family is some sort of august institution. It's the closest thing to the Trump cinematic universe that the Brits have. Just look up how Charles has people running around with special pillows and putting toothpaste on his toothbrush. Doubt Trump does that!

I'm sorry but going back to the moon is cool as shit. I won't have all this negativity.

Penalties are a lottery eh?

As a non American I do find the idea that vast numbers of people don’t go to polling booths and instead drop ballots in boxes in the street utterly bizarre and yes, it does make casting aspersions on the process a bit easier!

We want Nordic style policies…. no not like that…

I know I’m a couple of days late but reading again about Tiger Woods and the insanity that you don’t necessarily lose your licence in the US for driving drunk.

They will not like having it described as “tiny”

The absolute nonsense anti Trump stuff I get in my discover feed. The chain mail of BlueSky.

As with all US gambling stuff I’m fascinated that we’ve had it forever over here without the same level of fuss.

I think this is mostly a myth. Most people I know just do everything on the phone. These days 9/10 times the UI/UX is actually better with Apple Pay etc.

I’m 5 mins into the Louis Theroux doc and all I can think about is I’m from an era of such toxic masculinity that all I can think about is that the fella he’s interviewing would get abused for carrying a bag.

They must absolutely hate us. No matter what they try they can’t beat Ireland.

The good thing for the rule of law people is that he literally doesn’t need congressional approval to do this

Won't all these guys talk like this and then just pay for the budget or whatever? That's what normally seems to happen over there.

See if you can tell when in the midst of Kerosene prices doubling I discovered my oil tank is low and want to try and outlast the Iranians myself…

I’ll tell you one thing. AI generated posters are absolutely dominating the kids’ activities Whatsapp groups.

NOW TV Entertainment including HBO Max for €3.99/month is a steal in fairness

Not ideal for me and the game of chicken I'm playing with the amount of oil I have vs the price of oil...

Given what's going on I don't think anyone should be focussing on what hat he's wearing!

In normal political systems those not voting with the party would now be kicked out (at least temporarily) from the party…

Do the benefits of living in a high trust society show up in those data points people have about Mississippi being richer than Ireland or whatever?

SpaceX probably has revenues of less than $20bn and loses money after the merger with xAI, but is targeting a $1.75 TRILLION IPO. So Alphaville got two experts to go through how Musk will probably try to pull off what could be the biggest bagholder operation in history. www.ft.com/content/5bf1...

I would imagine 53% would be the bottom rather than the top if you did this poll in Ireland.

I think people are giving them what they want by angrily sharing the Call of Duty / Iran supercut video. I've only seen it because of people sharing it in anger and these are all professional trolls who you're feeding...

Better options would be - Bring in your favourite book and talk for a min to the other kids what it is about. Or if you do want to make it a bit more involved the kids could do posters or something about the book.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Emm… shall I point out the giant elephant in the room?

The almost complete lack of a military makes evacuating people quite difficult.

Famously the US has spent the last 25 years steadfastly adhering to international law.

I don’t think Meta are good by any stretch of the imagination but it would take a massive conspiracy and cover up for them to be covertly listening to users for years. Far more likely is people are leaking location, search, shopping etc and it’s being aggregated by Meta

Worlds smallest violins for people who are crying on the radio when last week they’d have been in the radio saying what mugs we are for staying in high tax rainy Ireland…

One one hand it’s terrible that all this has happened but on the other hand we may not have to listen to influencers telling us how great Dubai is anymore

Is this materially different than the extra judicial killings the US has done under all administrations for the last quarter century or so? Trump isn’t some sort of clear break from the past like some Americans want to present.

I'm not on here that much but it's striking to me how people's views of AI/LLMs have not evolved much over the 2+ years they've been mainstream. Sure there's over hype but it's not like crypto, there are plenty of genuinely useful use cases.

It’s so bizarre living on the neighbouring island where we don’t have this whole thing going on. Obviously class exists here but it’s thankfully not a big thing in day to day life.
