The BBC has been accused of “extraordinary” anti-Green bias, after the party says a long-promised conference interview with new leader Zack Polanski was cancelled by the Laura Kuenssberg show just days before going to air Every major political party leader, aside from him, was interviewed recently.

I was well over 30 when I wrote and published my first novel, and fully agree with you!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people". - Admiral Adama, Battlestar Galactica

for every post someone makes that is in any way related to “being mean to AI”, one of their 5 most recent interactions with a person doing customer service should be chosen at random and appended to said post

“Few people realize that cognitive science is crucial for evaluating claims about AI capabilities. We often overestimate what computers are capable of, while vastly underestimating what human cognition is capable of.” www.ru.nl/en/research/...

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Worth always keeping in mind that the Guardian has a commercial partnership with OpenAI, so nothing it writes about AI can be trusted

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Random thought, Microsoft could use a fraction of its billions of $$$ invested in AI to make Windows display the correct time Since the 1990s I've seen it consistently messing up with Summer time savings For some reason it is consistently 1h behind on my laptop - Ubuntu displays the right time 🐧

Also, this

We truly live in the stupidest timeline

Someone should probably inform the White House's "AI & Crypto Czar" that no one is forcing AI companies to train their models on Wikipedia

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

One of the greatest lies of the AI era is that LLMs are replacing software engineers - a flagrant lie. I called in Carl Brown of @internetofbugs.com, @mrnikli.bsky.social of "I Will Piledrive You If You Mention AI", and Colt Voege to explain exactly why. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

Buying a company by taking out a massive loan, then making the company you bought responsible for paying off that loan, is so patently evil that it should be beyond illegal. The kind of thing that inspires enlightened societies without corporal punishment to bring back the death penalty as a one-off

I think the people who are actually in charge of those deals understand that what they're ultimately going to do is just liquidate EA and use that money to pay off the loan while they themselves walk out with billions, but this type of nonsense narrative is a big part of *selling* those deals

"At the end of the day, Jason, LLMs are just like a compiler. Do you write everything in machine code?" I suspect I would if the compiler got it wrong 30% of the time.

that's very helpful, thank you very much Visual Studio

Yes. So much of this would be clear academic misconduct or negligence if only people hadn't been led to believe investor money is a foolproof loophole for laws, norms, and accountability.

the big problem is we've made the skills of raising capital and making good and useful shit totally disjoint

Looks like summer is officially over

Surprise surprise, I've been saying this for years. petapixel.com/2025/09/23/m...

Hey I've got some news: after 7½ great years at @futurlab.co.uk, I've decided to part ways - in great terms! I'm super proud of what we've achieved over these years, especially as the tech lead of @powerwashsimulator.co.uk After a good break, I'm now open to work - let's have a chat! :)

To anyone who followed Aadhaar’s rollout in India, the language is uncanny. Aadhaar’s ‘savings’ were derived from welfare denied. Countries need to pay attention to the language around surveillance tech in other countries. We’re all stumbling over different iterations of the same problems.

But of a test here for what remains of the British news media. These proposals are mad, racist and economic suicide. Will they be reported as such? Or will they be reported as a reasonable suggestion?

One of the many reasons it feels like we're doomed as a species is a lot of people don't seem to think continuing to exploit people after they die isn't an absolute red line.

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

something that I’ve been thinking about since DICE is that a lot of highly skilled devs are subject to management labelling them as ‘difficult’ and sidelining them simply because they point out and want to solve a problem, mismanagement which I think has contributed to a lot of failed projects

all these inquiries and declarations are empty until countries start to #BoycottIsrael

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

“The effort builds on growing calls for [Israel’s] soccer programs to be excluded from global competition.” @premthakker.bsky.social reports on #GameOverIsrael, a campaign to pressure FIFA and national soccer federations to boycott Israel over its murder of Palestinian athletes in Gaza.

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads. We broke up the steel companies. We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates. We've done it before. We can do it again.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Truly, this is such a great piece. I guarantee you probably have no idea just how deeply and profoundly the "AI for good" narrative has become embedded into the superstructure of so many progressive movements - not least the climate movement. Go read @abeba.bsky.social's piece:

Hello @forbidden-planet.bsky.social I'm an extremely talented photographer who creates miniature movie scenes from his living room using practical FX. My work would sell well in your stores, would you be willing to give one of the little guys an opportunity to shine & help turn my fortunes around?

WSJ when an American conservative gets killed versus when Arab children get killed:

Over a million people protest against genocide? "Terrorist organisation, threat to freedom". A few tens of thousands show up for a far-right extremist rally? "Free speech is alive and well". The UK media, government, and the US oligarchy make clear what messaging it wants the UK to swallow.
