Why is Youtube drama spray-painted onto the streets of Glasnevin?

just saw a kalshi ad with a guy excited to "bet" on the existence of aliens after he had seen an alien landing. in case anyone is unsure what "prediction market" means

They've labeled it incorrectly but that's actually an accurate depiction of what Hy-Brazil looked like at the time.

so what happens if you are "reported" by a neighbour to this "hotline"? do they send round the Uisce Eireann Heavy Gang to sort you out? 👊 👊 👊 www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I keep waiting to see the argument for why Anthropic training Claude on our writing is fair use but a Chinese AI model training on the output from Claude isn’t. Laws don’t have to be logically consistent but this is hypocrisy and gets interesting if distillation catches on among non-Chinese models.

"I don't need to look at what these people actually say and do to understand them - I can use a few key phrases and my own mastery of Logic & Reason™️" is such a common problem I'm amazed we don't have a clear term for it.

this is an act of cultural erasure

I HAD NO IDEA lol

the fact that little britain's computer-says-no lady was such a big pop culture hit was a giant warning sign to business and leadership that flew right over their heads

one thing that’s dying out in the next generation or so is knowing roads. my parents will ask me shit like “how’d you get there? 178? 232?” buddy i went where the computer told me.

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.

Road Safety nothing to do with us say Road Safety Authority

Hi, welcome back to Séamas's Boarding Pass London City Airport to Derry 23rd August 2026, boy do we have a great show for you but first I'd like to tell you all about our friends at Athletic Greens who

I, a lover of hostages to fortune, excitedly saved this and it has been of great value

The difference between a gimmick and a policy is whether you can make the thing make sense for everyone to participate.

Christ almighty this is ridiculous.

What do you mean “all of us,” you ARE THE PRIME MINISTER

923 children died at Bessborough Mother and Baby Home between 1922 and 1998. Only 64 have known graves. Utterly shameful decision by Cork City Council to build apartments on the site. More erasure of the historical mistreatment and shaming of women in Ireland. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

He's trying to now get the majority of the population addicted to gambling. Youth are the most vulnerable to gambling addiction and 20% of gambling addicts attempt suicide

Getting a flashback to that guy on Fox News in 2015 who said Birmingham was a no-go zone for non-Muslims (lol), which prompted a quite amusing number of memes (Mecca Bingo etc), though Twitter under Musk really seems to have cooked a lot of people’s brains into believing it’s true since then.

Solidarity with Anthropic. What kind of monster would automate the mass theft of intellectual property just to train an AI model?

James Carville is one of the most consistently wrong political pundits out there and yet remains a perennial presence on Irish news radio regularly platformed as a “US politics expert”

The 10GW project in this slide deck features a new 9.2 gigawatt fossil-fuelled power station. It would have annual emissions equivalent to the entire power grid of the Netherlands if it were to end up being built bsky.app/profile/keta...

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

It’s time we used more accurate pictures to accompany articles on dangerous heatwaves. Like someone lying mostly naked on the floor of the coldest room of the house, still trying to get work done on a laptop.

Actually just based on that first chapter there should totally be a Ministry for the Future tv/film adaptation, make it this generation's Threads/The Day After and scare the ever living fuck out of people

I see AC as pretty much in the same category as EVs. They are both badly required but also "required" can mean many things Minimising demand for them is good, but requires long-term structural change. Ensure those who need them get them in the short-term, to save lives www.wri.org/insights/eur...

“…several advertisers said Meta's AI tool had also generated bizarre or nonsensical ads for their products, and that some settings, like ‘test new creative features’ and ‘automatic adjustments,’ had automatically been toggled to ‘on.’”

“Moderate” is not a statement about your beliefs, but about your position in relation to others. In a world of runaway authoritarianism that means being dragged rightward like a tin can on a string behind a car

Can't believe it's been 10 years of being told that you mustn't call ignorant bigots ignorant bigots. You just have to politely live with the mess they've made
