Oh

I’m all for George Osborn joining OpenAI. They deserve each other.

The contrast in the media between the treatment of Corbyn for failing to deal effectively with anti-semitism in his party, and their treatment of Farage for personally being demonstrably anti-semitic and racist could not be more stark.

A true hero!

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

You can’t appease bullies. They always come back for more.

Now we have motive, method, and opportunity.

Artificial Intelligence as a title is misleading. We’d be better calling LLMs “predictive text”. It’s closer to house they work.

I wrote this! It argues that major parts of black hole physics rest on invalid deduction from general relativity — not disagreement in interpretation, but logical misinference. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ #philsci #philsky scitechdaily.com/new-theory-s...

For those of you who are fed up with Google's AI, and the relentless advertising and search suppression, and want the search experience you used to be able to rely on, I am trying Startpage.com and it's refreshingly easy to use.

There's so much I love about this speech and I hope you read the full text when you can - it's worth it. But I love how it paints imagination as an act of service to others and a way to resist domination. It helped me articulate some of why I think stories are so powerful and why we NEED them.

Has anyone else noticed that Farage‘s daily press conferences have stopped since Nathan Gill was convicted? And Farage‘s defence is that he made pro-Russia statements without needing to be bribed. Hmm 🤔

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

Hope HMRC are investigating whether Gill evaded tax on the bribes he received. (Bribes are absolutely taxable income, but people tend not to declare them to HMRC...)

Why would you outsource parts of your decision-making to someone who is consistently, demonstrably and objectively wrong about random things?

The number of adverts taking the line of, “if you don’t use our Ai product, your competitors will” is staggering, from company to personal level. Let me say, the premium skill for the future is the ability to think and articulate your thinking to others.

Thanks @helenebismarck.bsky.social! Yes, @columnist.bsky.social, I tried in my book to puncture some common UK delusions while warning of the dangers of entrenching a culture of despair. The country still has a lot going for it, as I point out. linktr.ee/whateveryone...

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

The Prescott review was basically, the BBC should be anti-woke, pro-Trump, anti-immigrant, anti-trans, pro-Israel, and against discussion of colonialism. So no bias there, then? Why are the BBC employing these people?

Could it be that “Quiet, Piggy” is a phrase that he’s used before, frequently perhaps? Is that what he says to his wife when she asks questions he doesn’t want to answer?

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

This is perfect…

For those who are trying to understand the position of the Democrats in the US Senate, try picturing the Charlie Brown cartoon with Lucy holding the football ready for Charlie Brown to kick…

Let me get this straight. GB News is accusing the BBC of bias?

Yes

Prison, is what needs to happen.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

Whenever the talk turns to taxing the rich, the Reform or Tory always says that the rich will leave. BBCQT last night. They need reminding that their Brexit caused over 440 firms in the financial sector alone to move to the EU taking up to £1.3 trillion in assets with them, plus the jobs.

“Spending cuts are easy“ The last government cut spending and it failed. So they cut spending again, and again, and again. It all failed. Why can politicians not see that this doesn’t work? Efficiency savings are just more cuts. Cuts don’t work. Put it on your wall where you can see it.

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights. goodlaw.social/v3qy

Good to see @dailymail.co.uk @thetimes.com and @telegraphnews.bsky.social all delete their articles - sad the lies went up in the first place

"For the government it’s quite mad to keep using X. It’s active participation in its own destruction and against its own interests. I cannot fathom the logic of doing it. It would be like a Reform government communicating entirely through the Guardian comments section." 👏 @samfr.bsky.social

I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.

Record heat persists in the Gulf of Guinea: MINIMUM temperature on the Senegalese coast has been at unprecedented levels for MONTHS St Louis and Dakar with frequent mins 27/28C (even 29C): never happened anyhing like this. Record hot October night also at Wa,Ghana: Min 25.5C yesterday

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Back in the 80s the GOP saw in the evangelical church an entity historically designed for their ultimate purposes: Power. Church structure does the following: 1. Emphasizes obedience 2. Punishes “rebellion”. 3. Centers “truth” in a few leaders. 4. Makes ideology more important than individuals.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

How can a tool which takes all the previous answers to a question and homogenises them into one answer, solve a maths problem (or six) that’s never been solved? Answer: it can’t. They lied.

Looks as if Chat GPT OpenAI have an honesty problem. Or maybe it’s an ignorance problem.

Shopping online has become awful. You can’t look at what you want to buy without something popping up to offer a voucher, mailing list, loyalty club, free gifts, etc. It’s like having a sales assistant continually stand between you and the shelves you’re trying to buy from.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social there is nothing about this on your website. Normally we can’t keep you away from stories about Farage. Why the silence?

They’re not even hiding it…

Goddammit @bryce.lol got the delicious suckling pig. This is top tier reviewing from @jayrayner1.bsky.social on.ft.com/4q7qhfW

Just heard @wanderinggaia.bsky.social talking on Radical with Amol Rajan and what a refreshing inspiring listen! Great to hear the case for Immigration and a vision of a utopian future for Britain, along with the dispelling of some of the myths and disinformation around climate-induced migration.
