"You'll stay there until I've finished Ed like I told you earlier"

"thought provoking" is one way to put it Doc.

Who is in this Jack? All those who are currently polling?

New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

"Stepping Hill, Roll Out Dead"

It doesn't make the "would-be despot’s job much harder" - in what way has Trump's job been made harder? He's had no push back at all.

I propose converting Wythenshawe Civic Centre

@edzitron.com What's your take on the power supply / energy supplier eg Oklo that is being tied up in the AI bubble? Are you planning a piece on that - would be very interesting....

I just cannot take this shit seriously. If you're a senior Labour figure and think that the party's stance is cowardly but are too afraid to put your name on the record saying it YOU ARE A COWARD.

Ahhh shit - I forgot this was on!

"Dawn in Gaza city"

Good point - still doesn't take away from the fact that coffee isn't making any impact considering what else goes into a rain water drain!

Jeepers - how old is that lad in the front? Looks older than the bloke getting married!

I've been trying to explain to people that this stuff is never going to be profitable for the companies involved so maybe don't embed systems that are built around it as one day (soon) it might all just disappear. The more people are encouraged to use it, the more money they lose - it's wild.

So, what happens to the excess coffee from all the customers in Costa there in the background? Do they collect it in special vats and take it to a "coffee recycling plant"? Or do they pour is down the drain? I suspect they pour it down the drain.

Have you read Ed Zitron's stuff on it? The numbers are *wild*.

"sustained media condemnation" might be better. Fucking heinous morally corrupt nastiness of a "policy" (and I use policy unwillingly)

Something intensely frustrating which I've seen across academia, NGOs, media orgs and corporations (I mean, just, every professional space in the world) is "WHAT IF WE JUST DIDN'T" is **never** considered an option, and it's the same for this report.

Error rates like that, 3 years in? Ditch it ffs

yeah - we've lost monday.com and Slack so... might as well go back to bed to be fair

I'm a GP and tested myself against AI - the results made me scared for my patients' In a new documentary, four British professionals were pitted against an AI ‘clone' to find out how safe their job is

I interviewed a GP who took on an AI counterpart in an on-air diagnosis challenge. The AI was surprisingly accurate – until it wasn’t.
