5 years down the road from today, scratching at the soil to plant some seeds you found in an abandoned garden centre: remember LLMs?

I was headbutted by a chicken today.

I've changed my mind about the Lucy Connolly case. It is unjust that she languishes in prison while Nick Timothy, Douglas Murray and Allison Pearson remain free. Two-tier justice.

A fellow sufferer. When will our pain be acknowledged.

Hello Popcorn!

Ridiculously weak

"For child pedestrians and cyclists, being hit by an SUV versus a passenger car was associated with a larger increase in the odds of fatality and KSI... These effects were particularly large in young children...and were similar to those documented in the two comparable studies from the USA..."

Is he reducing it to 24 hours?

Gaza surgeon describes drones targeting children Children lying injured in Gaza were picked out and shot by quadcopters, a senior doctor tells MPs.

He also said “Israel has the right” to withhold power and water from Palestinian civilians. “Obviously, everything should be done within international law," he added.

Pity he took nearly two years to catch up to the reality of what he was defending.

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana agree to launch leftwing party Former Labour MPs condemn ‘rigged’ system and promise ‘a mass redistribution of wealth and power’

I wish Jeremy and Zarah well. But I’ve not yet seen any policy they’re proposing that isn’t already a longstanding part of the Green Party manifesto - and any party that doesn’t have the nature and climate emergencies front and centre is part of the old politics, not part of the new

AI is the new fossil fuel industry.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?

PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

(1/2)

Truly. The distinction between the treatment of elderly Gaza demonstrators and far-right protestors suggests a complete breakdown in our moral compass.

I would like to see Stephen Flynn be snp leader cracking politician tells it how it is. Also when asked the other day about hypothetical question would he take Scotlands embassy out of tel aviv and he answered yes immediately I like him fiesty lol ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #freepalestine ✌️

Mercedes-Benz will let you use an in-car camera in Microsoft Teams while driving The all-new CLA gets this first

Talking on a mobile phone while driving, even hands-free, gives you similar reaction times as a drunk driver.

So it seems quite insane to take it one step further and integrate Microsoft Teams video calling into a car's in-built system.

Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews. “I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”
