Stewart Lee: Using Grok is like believing what your farting uncle says at Christmas Elon Musk’s AI service is so drunkenly, transparently biased that it would be funny – if it weren’t a mortal threat to democracy

"Grok is like a man who has been in a pub all day, drunkenly stumbling from one unsubstantiated opinion hub to another, and is then invited to present the information he has gleaned to the world on News at Ten. A bit like Reginald Bosanquet did in the 70s. " www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Excited to find I recognised one of the contestants on Strictly, but it turns out not to be the one from Amazing Spaces.

Our first past the post election system has resulted in two coalition parties with a range of political directions. The current government is trying to please everyone and consequently being very ineffective.

Richness of life can’t be measured in GDP – what happened to joy? GDP is up, but who’s better off? Clive Lewis, Norwich South MP, argues poverty is growing, wages lag, rents soar. And that’s not prosperity

What is quality of life? It can't be measured and is not a number. Clive Lewis: eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/ri...

Paul Merton on Room 101 says the rule "red and green should never be seen" relates to clothing. I thought it related to train signals?

I remember her running joke in Allie McBeale about her book titled "The Rural Juror". A tongue twister.

Some people are very concerned about the Channel 4 programme Could Nigel Farage become Prime Minister?
He didn't explain how he would fund his policies and described them as aspirations not promises. Do you think people will see through him in time?

Looks interesting, but I can't see how one contestant will persuade the others that they should win.

In-bewhelmed – neither overwhelmed, nor underwhelmed, but somewhere in-between. Usage β€œI was in-bewhelmed by the trip into London today”, as opposed to β€œThe journey into London was neither overwhelming nor underwhelming but somewhere in-between”. I think it is more quickstinct πŸ˜‰
