i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

β€œThe researchers aim to show that the β€˜inevitability’ of AI is just a marketing frame perpetrated by the industry and that pushback is a lot more possible than we often see.” Yes!

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a β€˜nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

The moment that a consensus builds in England that the Greens and LibDems are more likely to block Reform gains the Labour Party is dead in the water.

Scotland and Wales already look lost to the SNP and Plaid Cymru.

Agree with this obviously.

But don't forget *the government* has also proposed vindictive, unpopular and economically damaging restrictions on ILR which could affect 100,000s of people here now, legally, mostly working. This is now the more immediate issue..

If Labour are so scared to say anything about anything in a timely manner because it will be deliberately spun and misconstrued by the media, maybe they should get on with some media reform.

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.
