Bridge boys The pandemic forces a pair of obsessed crack climbers to find their next climbing adventure in the UK. An 800m bridge is selected and requires them to eat and sleep while hanging under a motorway.

I think I found it, available on the redbull website here www.redbull.com/ie-en/episod...

There's a subset of climbing called "crack climbing" and sometimes they climb in those gaps under road bridges. I just looked for an example and this documentary trailer has a very similar looking bridge in it about halfway through - might even be the same one! youtu.be/SElKP3E_gsY?...

nothing drives them more mad than people being unimpressed, indifferent, or hostile towards their slop. it's not enough for them to have slop and smear slop everywhere, they expect thanks and praise for it (or engage in smug delusion about how their critics are seething, etc)

right-wing movements often have a sort of needy, demanding "mom says you have to play with me" element to them – see the conflation of people not wanting you around with 'being silenced' – and the AI people definitely have it pretty bad

“…you got a licence to shit in there?”

Same re: the DestinyTheGame subreddit, both are currently top tier resources for schadenfreude enjoyers

Who could have seen this coming ey if only people would have sounded the alarm if only we knew ah well too bad better still vote for them or the Real Fascists get in next time and you know Reform are the actual fascists cause they’re rude and uncouth unlike Starmer he’s a human rights lawyer yknow

Bathroom bans and demanding documents is not workable, but that does not matter. The chaos does not matter because it will achieve the goal of stepping on the necks of trans people and enforcing gender norms

Just wrecking your law generating chaos and confusion as the law suits roll in and businesses and institutions get pushed into taking on trans exclusion because of the gov’s bullshit and vagueness even if its not actually workable law

Whats so brazen is that bathroom bans etc are so blatantly unworkable but labour will implement the ehrc guidance all with the aim and knowledge that is will just cause chaos in declaring open season on trans oppression and harassment

the thing that trans people ask of the world is so tiny, really. just to be able to exist as the person they are, without the rest of us being weird or cruel about it. it's a deep shame on our society that we are unable to deliver on so small a thing.

“Perfect is the enemy of good” is not a phrase that can be applied to *human rights* and it’s really disturbing how many people don’t understand that

"don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" motherfucker show me a good and i'll be happy. all you're giving me is chaotic evil and lawful evil.

Hey remember before Starmer's Labour got into power, progressives kept criticising their relentless neoliberal cruelty policies and fascist-appeasing rhetoric, and we were told to shut up because "we have to get into power first, then we can start doing good things". Anyway, HOW'S THAT GOING JESS?

Well that’s nothing! Apparently if you don’t vote Labour you’ll get Reform and THEY’LL be the ones doing this. Who would you rather have destroying the lives of minorities? Those red ties are so comforting.

the only objection a lot of centrist/lib types have to overt fascism is clearly aesthetic. they find it vulgar & embarrassing. their demand is for a calmer, smarter and more routine version run by people they can be proud of because they present as educated, polished & smart & that's really it

The UK Labour Party has forfeited any right to exist and must be destroyed by all and any means necessary.

Hello, if you're about to turn up and say "Reform would be worse" Labour is literally stripping rights from my friends and family, so please take a big mouthful of your own shit and hair and choke on it.

I don't think a landlord should be "homelessness minister" in the first place

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It’s good I suppose that it took a western outlet to show us Gaza from the sky & it’s total destruction, which is shocking, but many of us have been saying this for months, it also feels a bit racially coded that you didn’t believe the Gazan journos & somehow didn’t class them as journalists at all

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

r/ChatGPTPro u/vurto • 28d If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work? Discussion It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque. On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't. All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction. I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read). And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable. How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with. I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".

You're so close

A party that seeks to govern from the left should be free of bigots if it's to actually reverse the social damage Labour are doing. The kinds of people involved in "Your Party" therefore raise some serious red flags.

This is true and also, increasingly, I am less and less understanding of a public that indulges these lies - because what is meant by illegal in too many minds is "inhuman". And that belief is encouraged by the media, yes, but at some point citizens have to take responsibility for it too.

truly don't understand the AI user mindset. like how is this an advantage if literally everyone else has access to it. if you were the only person who had genAI then it would sort of make sense but pumping out uninspired slop is a skill available to everyone

Sometimes it's fun to post something like "Bacon is a food for babies and dogs" and log off. Bunch of people trying to yell at you but their phones keep slipping out of their greasy bacon hands
