It's customary to involve both warring parties in a peace agreement. Otherwise it's called a victory.

US and Russian officials draft plan to end Ukraine war based on capitulation from Kyiv It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

Would Trump have negotiated a peace deal with Nazi Germany allowing it to keep all the territory it invaded?

This is the most disturbing and distasteful use of AI that I've seen.

It's quite horrific. Instagram should take it down.

Same here, Richard. And here's what baffles me - despite the widespread concern about sugar in the diet, children at school are given sweets as rewards.

My 12 year old son doesn't eat sweets, and sometimes I feel like The Grinch.

We are poisoning ourselves and our children.

'In the UK and US, more than half the average diet now consists of Ultra Processed Foods.'

I was a civil servant in 1977 and they had scratchy toilet rolls at the DTI in Victoria Street with HMSO lovingly printed on each sheet. Halcyon days.

You are partially right: it’s as flawed as the people behind it. On top of that, factor in bad coding and flawed decisioning processes. Then consider how open the LLM is to data sources. How is the data verified?

It’s 10-14 but fluid. The Russia -Ukraine war has been reduced to Poltova-Northern Union. I’ve written a few books but I wrote this because my son is a prolific reader and there’s not much out there with an autistic central character.

It is 2005, the internet is a distributed network of servers designed so that no one outage can take down the entire network

It is 2025, the internet relies on three companies, problems with any one of which can cripple a significant proportion of the global economy
