The new lawsuits against OpenAI are tragic and deeply troubling. One of the plaintiffs, Kate Fox, is suing following the death of her husband, Joe Ceccanti. Ceccanti experienced at least two acute crises following extensive ChatGPT use. He did not survive the second: futurism.com/artificial-i...

*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!? The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

Radical counter-proposal; those who seek public office should have the self-discipline not to participate in stupid little adolescent online hate clubs.

"The AI industry’s most important product at this moment is not a chatbot or a video generator; it’s the story the AI industry is telling about itself.... According to an MIT study, 95% of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Fact-Checking Claims About Zohran Mamdani https://theonion.com/fact-checking-claims-about-zohran-mamdani/

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I am honestly sick of being told — at a university FFS — that we need to ‘embrace’ this profoundly unethical and irresponsible technology.

Gonna very tentatively suggest that there just might be a wee bit more to this than the legal costs, maybe.

Number 10 says it's all good, nothing to see here, after accidentally leaking information about the Huntingdon train stabbing to The National ... they've decided there will be no referral to the Information Commissioner. www.thenational.scot/news/2560513...

this is what will happen to the A.i. companies driving people to suicide

Which one is more English?

Happy to see many friends and allies shortlisted in the European Cartoon Award, most especially our own award laureate this year @zehraomerovna.bsky.social europeancartoonaward.com/2025/11/07/t...

Dismantle the Metropolitan Police.

So much for the big humanitarian. Cretin.

Reading into the details, Elon Musk is never going to be a trillionaire. The goals required to earn that payoff are pure science fiction. He has a long track record of talking big and delivering far less. Absolute horseshit story being touted by journalists who should know better.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

And light-hearted and self-deprecating in the process. Obama was no saint, but I recognised him as having feelings and perceptions comparable to my own. Some other leaders? They hide their basic human condition so much better.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Someone more qualified than me would have to opine why a certain personality type that craves attention, feels entitled to wield authority, and has no qualms about lavishly reproducing nevertheless freezes when in close proximity to someone in need of immediate help. youtu.be/H0EUwBqhrJo?...

Californians Approve Measure To Redraw ‘Garfield’ https://theonion.com/californians-approve-measure-to-redraw-garfield/

Any aspirant British politician wondering whether they can duplicate the “Mamdani effect” has to honestly answer in the affirmative: Can you execute a joke? Do people willingly, physically embrace you? Have you a rock solid understanding of social media, visual communication, colour theory?

Just a gentle reminder of the kind of thing that happened last time a (relatively) young Muslim spoke for Scotland… www.thenational.scot/news/2451299...

Conservative Councillor says "young black males" are "flooding" the UK Contacted by Byline, she defended her comments, saying “we cannot sustain the volume of.. black males” that “jeopardises [our] security" Asked why their skin colour matters, she replied “because they are [black], aren’t they?"

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

The BBC aren’t being shown all this for transparency, you understand. They have to submit their film to the IDF censor, or get booted out of the country without it. They’re being shown this because the IDF are *showing off*. They’re revelling in their total impunity.

You don’t raze entire towns and cities street by street with controlled demolitions and bulldozers for any military objective. You do it because the aim is to wipe those places out of existence forever, and it’s not like they’ve been hiding this.

The quintessential aesthetic of fascism

Eee when I were a lad, if you wanted to take part in an anarchist anti establishment rebellion group behind a mask, you had to cut it out of Whoopee! or Whizzer and Chips. (Images: kazoop.blogspot.com/2020/05/whoo...)

German word for when you can’t find one book, which in turn reminds you of another you can’t recall when you last saw, and then a half dozen more, leading to the creeping suspicion that a whole box probably went missing when you moved house two years ago.

Fireworks PIF countdown: number one! HAND (1976) This all-time classic PIF featured bandages that haunted a million nightmares and turned sparklers into something to be feared. It worked on me. Happy Bonfire Night!

Fireworks PIF countdown: WHERE'S YOUR LAD (1976) Two messages for the price of one in this PIF. Dodgy deals, grimy 70s aesthetics, Penny for the Guy (Bonfire Night was 1000 times bigger than Halloween back then), and Patrick 'Dr Who' Troughton and Jean 'Bread' Boht!

Fireworks PIF countdown: PARENTS (1975). The blink-and-you'll-miss-them shots of the twitching, convulsing, burnt kid caused so many complaints that this PIF was banned. It was considered lost media until the BFI tracked down a copy in 2014!

Fireworks PIF countdown: BLIND CHILD (1974) feels like a mini horror movie...

Fireworks PIF countdown: in at number five is FIREWORK GIRL (circa 1975), a cautionary tale about flinging bangers around willy nilly...

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

John Swinney has been urged to put 'words into action' and implement a full boycott of Israel as it looks to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners

The NYC mayoral election was also a HUGE loss for racist "A.i." slop. Fuck that garbage forever.

Today, Ms.Rachel accepted Glamour Magazine ‘Women of The Year’ by wearing a custom dress with drawings from children from Gaza.

Anyone can say they're versatile but are they Elsa Lanchester versatile???

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

I just want @attackerman.bsky.social to get to write so many more of these until “blistering review of the life of a socially accepted genocidaire” is a genre of obit www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Trump’s unconscionable, disgusting, unbearable, repugnant. An unambiguous crook, a racist, a rapist, a white supremacist, and worse yet to come. Hard to imagine anyone less suitable. Sure. But please, let’s not pretend Cheney was anything other than a monstrously cynical, blood-drenched ghoul.

The people who would have rioted if someone named Samir Zitouni had wielded the knife will not reflect for a second over this.

#USA #DickCheney passed away today. Here is a caricature I did of him when he was serving as George W. Bush's all-powerful vice president. More caricatures and cartoons here: pxmolina.substack.com
