I hate all of this in almost every way a thing can be hated. I hate the factless waffle that surrounds Big AI’s every improbable goal. I hate how insipidly stupid, or just plain evil, those goals so often are, and the yawning chasm between them and any form of achievable reality. I hate that Big AI’s successes are inflated and its failures ignored — or are even categorised as hilarious mis-steps, like when AI chatbots tell people to eat poisonous mushrooms, put glue on pizza, or make air diffusers from chlorine gas.

I hate that Big AI consumes so much energy that every time you generate a six-fingered portrait of Anne Frank or a scene from the Vietnam war in the style of Studio Ghibli, you might as well just kill a polar bear with a crossbow. I hate that it can run roughshod over every copyright law and environmental protection on the planet in pursuit of the data it needs to continue failing, with no consequences save for the enrichment of the worst people on Earth, who have managed to make all of this magical bullshit seem sensible to an intellectual class comprised of people I wouldn’t trust to print an email.

On hatred.

In surely unrelated news, the Tony Blair Institute was given $200m by the owner of Oracle, a major AI player.

Bonsoir, vous êtes au courant que le texte dans vos posts est souvent coupé avant la fin ? 😅

I was (rightly) critical after the Coupe de France defeat to Angers in February, and I'd still prefer it if we were quite simply not part of a multi-club network, but I do feel bad for any Strasbourg fan that can't just enjoy how well this team is playing at the moment and how quickly it has matured

Looks like no one told the team from "the gastronomic capital of the world" that Liam Rosenior is the only one cooking right now 🔥

Also, just in case any #saintsfc fans were wondering, Sékou Mara is still utterly useless. The guy has scored one goal in 17 Ligue 1 games this season and yet was somehow allowed to stay on for the entirety of tonight's game, which tells you everything you need to know about Strasbourg's squad depth

Massive opportunity missed by Strasbourg to go deep into this season's Coupe de France tonight, not that that's particularly surprising given that BlueCo couldn't care less about whether the club actually wins any trophies as long as we act as Chelsea's French youth academy 👍

Communiqué du Racing Club de Lens

"In the context of the LFP's empty promise to schedule Ligue 1 McDonald's matches a month in advance when other countries (i.e. Germany, England and the Netherlands) have already put this promise into action, clubs are being left in the dark."

USL Dunkerque have just come back from 3-0 down in the penalty shoot-out against Lille to reach their first Coupe de France quarter-final in over 50 years. Once again, cup football remains unmatched.
