Every outcome of LLMs has been negative, has been corrosive, has been unwanted. Ask yourself, ”what possible purpose could be served where this side effect of a technology would/could/should be tolerated?” There truly are no legitimate use cases; this is a truly useless, truly garbage technology.

An important series of questions that we should all become a lot more comfortable throwing at people.

Bernie Sanders talks sense about the Bondi massacre:

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

What a great headline

It's almost as if burning bridges for no reason has consequences.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.

Airfryer just died mid chips 😭

Google AI is just incredible, how did we ever cope without it.

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick. It's like you have an actual problem & all anyone recommends is "have you tried talking to my cousin? He drinks bleach & doesn't wash his pants"

If the show is half the indictment of the British government that the review is this sounds like it'll be quite something.

Absolutely perfect to see Mark Carney and Anthony Albanese at the G20 together: both fossil fuel expansionists cosplaying as brave climate heroes www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39D...

If I punch you in the face, I’m not “testing” our agreement not to punch each other. I’m ending it.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Politics 101: Learning the wrong lesson <i>every</i> time www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

“Why should our generation be banned from social media, when it is your generation that can’t tell the difference between truth and lies, and caused all this mess in the first place?” Anon kid.

Last Wednesday a colossal statue seen by millions at Kew Gardens for 60 years was removed. The King, whose mother sent the work to Kew in 1963, wanted it back. A curious story of the exercise of Royal will www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/monarc...

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles. Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

Lol, next he'll be saying people need more lead in their diet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The term is PEP (progressive except Palestine). It's very common amongst people that want to appear liberal and concerned with human rights but without running into much friction about it

The dishonesty around the use of Robodebt in prosecuting the government’s Freedom of Information secrecy drive is galling in the extreme. I set out some facts that deflate the specious claims being used as cover. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topi...

The United States is conditioned to reject external ideas or international law in order to protect the illegal actions committed by its government. Traditionally the US is known for its extensive acts against humanity the world over, something that until recently didn’t affect “We The People.”

Melbourne: ever helpful

Biden let Bibi play him for a fool, to his face, badly damaging his own political standing and that of his party, all in service of a genocidal campaign of retribution all out of, as far as I can tell, a devout belief that Israel can do no wrong that is his legacy and he brought it on himself

It's the billionaires...

How stupid are Labour for not continuously using this to attack Reform.

Green Party's Zack Polanski to Reform UK's Zia Yusuf, "Do you ever think that immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?"

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

My latest article in The Shot "The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club" #pffft theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Chris Sidoti, former Human Rights Commissioner, at the National Press Club: “The Genocide Convention not only requires that we not commit genocide - it also requires that we act to prevent genocide.” #npc

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Anti-vaccine cranks melting down because RFK's made up cause for autism is different to their own made up cause for autism is strangely entertaining

Oxford has been around since 1096. Imagine tossing almost a thousand years of academic reputation into the garbage, setting it on fire, and then pissing it out over a useless fucking plagiarism machine what loses billions of dollars a year telling people to kill themselves.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

The fall out to last week’s assassination is interesting to me because it really gives insight into the way the algorithm showed people on the right CK’s relatively benign, pro-Christian, pro-family content and none of his bigotry, and people on the left seemingly only saw the bigotry stuff

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

Riveting and terrifying thread. When Trump dies or is removed, and Vance becomes leader, it is Thiel's apocalyptic fascism that will be driving him. Gone will be Trump's erraticism -- he and MAGA will have done their job --replaced by a christofascist dictatorship beyond removal by ballot box.

How it started. How it’s going

So many bangers but this is the one that dooms Starmer's govt and with it the UK. Lawyer brain imagines a jury of public opinion that will be convinced when they are shown the evidence. But no net migration number is low enough and one photo of a small boat on a beach will overpower any statistic

Somewhere along the line we let the damn fool notion take hold that our society is a corporation and everything it does must generate profit for a group of shareholders, and I think this fool notion needs to be demolished forever.

Literally the second meme I've made in my life.

This shit makes me furious. You have an ironclad majority in the house and a progressive senate you snivelling fucks, this is an outright lie. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.
