on fighting talk just now, one panellist claimed they were “world class” at knowing when a minute had passed so rick edwards started a timer and turned to the other panellists. the guy interrupted someone else’s answer to say “now!” at 1’00

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Just heard the 5Live Breakfast Team on the radio talking to a Professor conducting research on this & getting massively excited about handling bits of the moon & seeing the dust & it was just a lovely bit of radio. So wholesome 🥺

Morning. So
@rickedwards1.bsky.social
watched Liverpool become champions in a takeaway in Euston yesterday afternoon. When have you watched great sporting occasions in 'less than ideal' circumstances? We're also talking baby food pouches, school uniforms and NHS winter figures

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

It is quite surprising that there is a sequel to Escape Plan (Stallone/Arnie prison break vehicle). But not just that - there is an ESCAPE PLAN 3. Surely no-one has voluntarily watched all three of these films?? WRONG. I HAVE.

I've reached the stage of life where I have started to actively enjoy bits of Radio 4. Very sobering. Still struggle with the pompous language though. Don't say 'penumbra' if you mean 'shadow' JUST SAY SHADOW NO-ONE IS IMPRESSED. (genuine example from this morning)

There is no toothbrushing more thorough and vigorous than the toothbrushing immediately before a visit to the dentist. Because NO-ONE enjoys a bollocking from the dentist.

I realise it's subjective, but this week's Fighting Talk is FUNNY. Features Dean Ashton admitting to some naughty fancy dress, a truly awful joke from Henning Wehn, and Holly Hamilton and Gail Emms (odd mood) discussing their cox options. Rate, review etc

Something that doesn't really get spoken about is the amount of unapologetic flatulence you hear at urinals. Note: it is a lot.
