The career of Martin Kemp is a great way to assess the age of someone. People who know him as the bassist from Spandau Ballet. People who know him from Eastenders and young people who know him as Roman Kemp's Dad.

Thank you, @possiblegrenade.bsky.social!

And just one of the most obvious reasons this shit is not just academic anymore, but really matters...

did a coat write this

So here it malfunctions in giving the wrong response, but worse, it knows not what it says - knows not the silliness of its malfunction even if told - because it *knows* nothing, because knowing is the ability to bring some concept to conscious attention, and it is not conscious.

In truth AI doesn't even 'make mistakes' as it has no concept of truth, because it has no concepts, because concepts are conscious, and AI is not. What it does, is function, and in respect to the function of doing whatever it is we want it to, when it fails, it malfunctions.

No human being that makes the mistakes LLMs make would be be described with the unqualified term 'intelligent'. They might be described as showing intelligence in some areas, though for the areas LLMs excel in, it's better described as 'good (even wonderful) at some tasks', but not intelligent.

Despite the flood of evidence demonstrating the misnomer, we continue to call it 'AI' when it's anything but. Maybe AI is possible, but I'm personally sure it won't be until artificial consciousness is realised first, and to think it's realised in LLMs is either wrong, or an absurd use of the word.

What a face ! Thank you to @glenisilla.bsky.social for this morning's #FoxOfTheDay

There's a Christian Methodist chapel near me, suitably called the Providence Chapel that does similar: volunteers standing out front, all weathers, twice a week for a couple of hours, distributing bread, fruit, cakes, hot meals & more, plus unsold sandwiches from Greggs & Pret. Religion at its best.

Interesting, though as it says at the end "reports of i’s demise may be somewhat exaggerated."

Sharp-edged tools made 2.75 million years ago and discovered in Kenya’s Turkana Basin indicate remarkable resilience in early hominins. For 300,000 years, they engineered them and passed the knowledge on. archaeology.org/news/2025/11/05/oldowan-stone-tools-from-the-turkana-basin-analyzed/

On this day in 1981, I was taking photos of Depeche Mode at the Locarno in Birmingham. Here are some from the soundcheck, backstage and the show (THREAD)

NEW UPLOAD | The Cure - A Forest & Forever (1996 08 21 Dallas) Unusual guitar work from the beginning and throughout on a long version of A Forest going into Forever. So unusual I picked a picture of the back of Robert's head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnam...

Well this is a bit awkward for all the racist shitstains who've been blaming immigration for the railway knife attack. The railway worker who saved people from a British attacker is an immigrant from Tunisia. Looking forward to the apologies from Andrew Neill + the rest of the fascist media scum

You can never be TOO gothic.

I’ve been a bit quiet - away in Greece, visiting archaeological sites, swimming in azure seas - and for the first time in ages I left my laptop at home! I was back to writing today with renewed vim and vigor, full of energy and ideas… 1/4

It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc. A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.

Pets are wild, man. There's just this little dude or little lady living in your house, being a whole ass creature, living their little lives and following the tune of a song you'll never fully understand. It amazes me every time I look at an animal.

Not sure I realised before how much Padmé is Catherine, Anakin Heathcliff. "My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything you ask." Yeah, re-watching the 9, the prequels for maybe just the 2nd or 3rd time.

For me this has to be one of the most underrated and underplayed Cure singles. An early gem and last of the post-punk pop early phase, their next single being A Forest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGbz...

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris
