There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Yes I did basically go RTFM to my vibe coding AI assistant!

Oh my God, it's Rob! - Pope's brother's speaks of joy Pope Leo XIV's brother Louis says nothing will be the same again after his appointment.

After watching this www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... I won't ever think of the new pope as anything other than Pope Rob!

Some personal news: meet my new replacement at the all new Observer newspaper.

Yes, it’s Facebook’s very own Nick Clegg. Congrats to everyone involved in this absolutely stellar signing. Take a bow.

Deep Impact Soundtrack: The Hives — Hate To Say I Told You So In the last week or so, but especially over the weekend, the entire generative AI industry has been thrown into chaos. This won’t be a lengthy, tech...

Newsletter: The DeepSeek situation is a moment that should fill Silicon Valley with shame, a monument to the lack of vision and herd mentality of the American tech industry. OpenAI and Anthropic have no moat, no business, no innovation, and I believe no future.

"The spectre of AI does nothing for growth if it gives away what we own so that we can rent from it what it makes." - that's some extremely skilled political rhetoric, really great speech writing

(Prior to the Lords she had a long career as a film director in the UK, which I think shows)

Although surely using a govt managed portal would be preferable? But at this point anything else is preferable as our govt needs to not feed the toxicity by continuing to use X as the main way to communicate with the public.

GTA ? Hamlet? Why not both ? www.undiscoveredcountryfilm.com This is an enjoyable hour and a half !

I know E17 "another day " is cheesy but it's on my must watch at Xmas songs ( the video just makes me lol) & they can actually sing!

Ok guess Xmas really is nearly here! First listen to Fairytale of NewYork 😀 which just happens to be my fav xmas song!

You really can create an application in an afternoon without writing a line of code yourself. I have had fun with Cursor and it's as amazing as everyone who has had hands on with it said! grumpygrace.dev/posts/cursor...

Oh and Kenyan coffee from Kenya from a Kenyan is pretty cool too . Him indoors: that's the best place to get Kenyan coffee from !

Me a Brit receiving gifts of tea from an American and a Kenyan 😍. I like tea so these are good gifts but the irony of tea for the Brit is not lost on me !

Him "Why are you cackling like a witch?" Me" I'm watching the Apartment!" . The Apartment is on my December watchlist!

As for all the 🦇 shit that those social media cause there's not enough time to rant about that

Just saying! I will never understand why any country does not use a portal that is owned by the govt apparatus to communicate with the population rather than multi media sites which reach only a small percentage of the population.

The critically acclaimed play starring Michael Sheen as Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan and his fight to create the NHS is now free to watch for a limited period https://buff.ly/4fFSmF8

At this point I do not dare ask what mischief the local hooligans are going to get up to after taunting next doors dog

Seeing the AI summaries compare things that make no sense being compared . It's a wild ride of AI generated hilarity.

They were both wrong it started raining just after 8 AM!

When you resort to looking out of the window because the weather apps have a difference of opinion !

We have a large monitor with a Chromecast rather than have to deal with a smart TV which will eventually become an expensive brick! 😀

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #71,972!

Oh a new Alan Moore book out soon and it involves a parallel / simultaneous version of London. I've been hunting for a neverwhere type book for years apparently it hadn't been written yet. 😀

I am way more invested in the paralympics. Every single competitor is elite and amazing and team GB are brilliant.

Also actually just having masks is a thing ! 😷

Jeez it's amazing how a little distance makes you forget. Wearing a mask on public transport today as I am tail end of my cold . Masks are not comfortable .

No matter how 🦇💩 politics are in the UK it's just organically diverse . Today we got the 1st female chancellor & she's pragmatic. We've had female PMs , A PM of Asian heritage , Wales has a senedd leader who has Zambian heritage.
