Genuinely one of the best ads ever made

The definitive ad

The White House briefing room. Four Hs. Three of them are upside down. And it’s been that way since 2007.

I talked about this when the new Virtua Fighter was announced but Sega is literally the reason why Nvidia exists as a company today and that’s not hyperbole.

Somewhere in Whitehall...

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

Nazis always obsess over fonts.

In Germany, the Nazi Party initially pushed Fraktur and declared Futura 'un-Germanic', with designer Paul Renner going into exile.

Just before the war they flipped, adopting Futura for its modern feel and declaring heavy types like Fraktur as suspiciously Jewish.

This sort of thing needs pushback, IMO

Not everyone has the option to just not visit - many have family living there

Yes I know, I've been a regular visitor to the US over the last 15 years

PIERS: “You’re not gay?”
FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

Whoops, mustn't say things like that - another black mark on my record oh no

Oooof

A bunch of fragile babies running the US right now, it's not enough they have immense power - we're all supposed to like them and tell them how great they are 🙄

Five years of social media history?
Ten years of email addresses?

Looks like I won't be going to the states for a long time

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Every ad for AI is like

Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!

AI: get sock

Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

McDonald's Pulls Down AI-Generated Holiday Ad After Deluge of Mockery McDonald's Netherlands is catching flak for a stupefying AI-generated video, which was roundly condemned on social media.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

Ooooh, will add it to my list

my five year old had RSV when he was six months old and when we brought him to the pediatrician they were like yeah go directly to the hospital we’re calling ahead

scariest few days of our lives

from the bottom of my heart: all these people can go to hell

Every time I see some shill helping to flog a useless, toxic thing that nobody wants to the world, it’s Jimmy Fallon.

sorry but if it’s going to get dark at 4 I can’t realistically be expected to carry on working

But the good news is, by doing this, we defeated racism in the UK.

The university bought Claude AI for students to use.

Here it is at work, denying that the East Wing of the White House has been demolished.

Great stuff, academia.
