You should go back to X. This nonsense isn't going to work here

When OpenAI released ChatGPT, it was trained on pirated books.

This finally came to light in a lawsuit three months ago, but it has gone essentially unreported.

🧵 1/5

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

Current AI doesn't understand the meaning of words nor the world they refer to. I would think that both would be necessary for any kind of 'moral standing'.

leftists were exactly correct about everything and establishment dems did everything possible to ignore and ostracise them for decades. anyway, I blame leftists for what is happening

We promised to throw the kitchen sink at this election.

Well we've definitely voted for the right candidate with the skills for the job!

USS West Mahomet in dazzle camouflage, 1918 (ID # 3681) In port, circa November 1918. Note how her Dazzle camouflage greatly distorts the apparent aspect of her bow. Photograph from the Bureau of Ships Collection in the U.S. National Archives.

Maybe you've seen naval ships from WWI or early WWII that look like they were painted by Pablo Picasso.

This is "Dazzle Camouflage," but the name is misleading, because these zebra-inspired exteriors, each unique, aren't about making a dazzle ship harder to see.

So why the Beetlejuice paint job?

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Reform’s choice in Gorton and Denton tells you everything you need to know Goodwin is a dangerous extremist with views on race that the vast majority of us find absolutely abhorrent.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.

Labour have no intention in every challenging the far right - which is why they'll be next to follow unless we stand up to them.

He has a tendency to just make things up.

I'm not sure I'm going to take anyone seriously who blamed their heart attack on Corbyn

Trying to confuse/conflate "Jews" with Zionists/Israelis/Israel is a vile effort to discredit anti-Zionism/Palestine advocacy.

When Labour is in trouble they go straight for character assassination- but they never, ever punch right or up, always left and down.

The 'Pink Ladies' Laundering Anti-Migrant Views Into the Mainstream An anti-migrant movement backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and regularly invited onto news channels is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist

🔴I spent time getting to know the Pink Ladies, a group of 'ordinary mothers' who are funded by Restore Britain's Rupert Lowe and whose leader shared a stage with a prominent neo-Nazi. It was...eye-opening.

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.

The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Ps always important to remember she went out on Newsnight and defended the cutting off of water and electricity to the Palestinians.

That's who our competition is - and that's why they're terrified.

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards!

These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party.

And it's just making membership rise & rise!
