I am reading a PDF. "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI assistant." Seriously, they want us to be fucking stupid. Again: the least curious and laziest employees and students are most likely to be taken in by this stuff.

It is a bizarre feature of the Irish media that in the supposed interests of "diversity of opinion," columnists who're extremely right of centre are wildly over-represented. There is not one columnist in a similar position on the left.

In Ireland, we don’t say “I love you”, we say “Mo ghrá go deo” which means “I will love you for as long as it takes them to finish building the Children’s Hospital” and i think that’s beautiful

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Irish media and politics have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING when it comes to the far right, and they are making exactly the same mistakes as every other country because they are too proud and/or stupid to admit it.

I have GONE WILD on the 1926 Irish census and have made some fun discoveries: Trinidadian medical students, a Baháʼà couple in Donegal, the Irish widow of an emigré Cossack, and Egyptian sailors in Cork city - among many others.

It’s not a housing crisis. It’s a government choice. It’s not market dysfunction. It’s profit extraction. Homelessness is not a bug. It’s a policy feature.

Isabelle (@isareksopuro on the other place) made a map to monitor data centers all around the world It tracks construction + nearby power plants + local AI legislation, and follows the politicians behind their bans (+ if they're getting paid to do so!) and it’s bloody great.

Yesterday I spoke on RTÉ Liveline about the book and video promoting Sitka sent to every primary school in Ireland. One thing I didn't get to mention is that the tree is also highly invasive. Coincidentally, I later found one in my own place. We may as well be planting rhododendron everywhere.

This isn't Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael trying to address the housing crisis. It's FFG addressing the "running out of landlords who will vote for us" crisis. Can't afford a second property? Not to worry, FFG will let you start your landlord career from a shed... but only if you vote for them

This is a genuinely mindblowing combination. 1) Deliberately false information, 2) promoted in schools, 3) using public money, 4) in the service of private profits, 5) at the cost of our collapsing ecosystem.

So it looks like the Irish Independent is running a TV ad that used AI for some images. In the scene where chap in the foreground is waving an Irish flag there's clearly a CĂ´te d'Ivoire flag being waved.
