This does sound like AI from the other things you've said but be careful with those AI detectors. They tend to call everything AI.

have they read so little & thought with such shallowness that they think the purpose of human life is "be a valuable cog in the productivity machine of your country, purchase an acceptable home, keep it filled with the usual items, consume media but don't get any ideas, raise your replacements"?

I think you can do that with a rotated text box in word. You could alternatively just make it an image.

We're doing a fun event in November!

This is also my first appearance as part of Read Indie Fantasy crew. I've been helping behind the scenes and will continue to do so. Tru and Nils are still very much at the helm.

Say one thing for Starmer,he's definitely given everyone across the political spectrum some common ground. We all fucking hate him.

I've been a programmer for 12 years.

LLMs are crap at everything except writing snippets you could just copy from some website. Highly debatable whether they're quicker or better.

Very occasionally some niche problem occurs that they can solve, but it's more "oh neat," than "omg revolutionary."

Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves.

A lot of these tools only seem good to people who are not great at their jobs.

It’s gone so quickly from β€˜boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from β€˜I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to β€˜actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the β€˜first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

The worst are the how-tos.

Step 1) It is important to perform research and select the right materials for the task. There are many different materials available from, and you should carefully consider the pros and cons of each before choosing which one you will use blah blah blah...

I thinks it because either:

A) Not much happens in the midlands, so the crazy stuff stands out.

B) Not much happens in the midlands, so people go a bit bonkers.

I'm from Notts too. Moved back there actually.

There was a review of a nice Nottingham restaurant recently titled something like, "Heaven in the Jaws of Hell" which seemed harsh. That night I had to walk through the town centre late at night and I was like "oh okay... maybe I'm just used to this."

Like GBNews is so obviously bullshit only someone who was already too far gone would fall for it.

The BBC does just enough actual journalism to keep the average person from clocking it when they do go full propaganda mode.

The thing I hate most about them is they claim to be "impartial" and pay just enough lip service to that principle that most of the country falls for it. They then explot that trust to push specific narratives.

Explicit propaganda channels have a lot to learn from the BBC.
