I'd join twice if that would help

When I checked earlier it was nowhere on the whole of the guardian, times or daily sieg heil

... Instead, let's gush about how Reform are the next big thing and put them on QT every single day

Just opened X by mistake. What a load of drivel on my timeline.

I curated a network on Twitter over a decade and it's all gone. Just weirdness, hate and ads.

Yes then Zack should promote them more...

*Promoting not prompting

Totally. Zack is ace but he needs to keep prompting his team (who may be ace too, but who knows??)

Brilliant! Really nice short summary.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officials’ concerns revealed Exclusive: in 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK

www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Palantir can f*** right off out of our NHS. But is this really all about AI? Is Palantir primarily an "AI firm"? It was evil way before AI, no?

Thiel and Epstein: bantz about vulture profits to be made from destroying UK with Brexit.

There are a TRILLION more important things to accuse Trump of than having bowel incontinence.

No I haven't. For daily assistance I use Gemini 3, I don't find it particularly obsequious. You can always edit the settings and tell it to be really nasty to you if that's your thing?

Yes, people are shocked. To find out how shocked they really are, we spoke to Nigel Farage.

An ML-supported meta-meta-study of ML-supported meta-studies of study fakeness suggests that over 200 trillion of them are probably fake. It's exponential.

Is there a middle way?

Never?

Yes. Though labour shouldn't spend a microsecond worrying about 2029. They should worry about using that majority for something exciting

I think what you mean is that commentators have an unshakeable belief that the Labour left is unelectable. Trump was unelectable. Mamdani was unelectable. Brexit was impossible. Etc.

Ha ha gets things done ha ha

Ah, the benefits of Brexit.

Ohh.

It's the singularity.
It only depends how much tool use we are prepared to give them/it. And who controls it.

Yeah and it's not just about the "cognitive ability" of the individual models, is it? You could say they are more than clever enough already. The two challenges are 1) building an ant-hill out of all these ants and 2) how to feed the AIs with enough of the right, relevant, context

I'm hoping the appalling timing was just a co-incidence? Surely? She's too busy too read the international news?
