jamesannan on twitter before it went down the shitter, climate scientist (as was - now retired) occasionally weighing in on various topics. Also @jdannan@fediscience.org (mastodon) and http://blueskiesresearch.org.uk/
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
We are all descended from kings, queens, dukes, duchesses, and the people who slopped out their bedpans.
All of us.
It's a scam.
🇺🇸 DOJ lawyer getting murdered in court here..
I suppose one saving grace is that it isn’t really much money. By the time it’s split up between arsenic life, Amazon collapse, fill in your own favourite example….they’d be lucky to get a doughnut each.
Seriously? An actual prize for publishing bogus research? As if massive publicity and huge numbers of citations wasn’t incentive enough :-)
It has been a complete PR victory for the tech industry that they have muddied the term ‘AI’ so completely that many people think that any valid application of ML = ‘we asked an LLM’

It's a short step from storage and launchers to manufacturing facilities and....well just about anything really.
Starmer was very clear that it includes ground strikes, it isn't defending against the missiles/drones in flight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
"The only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles at source, in their storage depots, or the launchers which are used to fire the missiles."
Not just missiles themselves but any launchers or storage facilities or…who know me what else?
They are “defensively” striking anything that may relate to the possibility of future missile strikes from Iran. Including schools where engineers of the future may be educated, perhaps.
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

@adamjkucharski.bsky.social what is a “low likelihood”?
:-)
Agreed. I mean, it's reasonable that we all have slightly different red lines and boundaries regarding what we can rationalise and accept, but it's definitely disappointing to find that in some cases they can be so massively far apart....
Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social
Frankly it’s a load of bollocks. Fortunately :-) There is still plenty else to worry about of course.
My ballpark reply: unless the plants are growing as much biomass as you eat, they aren’t cancelling your co2.
might have something to do with our Dear Leader telling us we're becoming an island of strangers :-(
Is this something the IPCC authors themselves are signing?
Yeah me too. We have settled on radio 3 which is at least a relaxing background with just a minimal mention of the day’s atrocities.
Well clearly not, since I’m not a UnionBank account holder but they’ve attached my email address to someone else’s account. What a bunch of clowns.
I can just about understand people staying there due to inertia, sunk costs etc...but actually setting up a new venture?

But even citable information doesn’t mean factually correct, it just means it was written somewhere by someone or something (possibly another LLM).
The simplest and most robust way to think of chatbot output is that it is isn’t designed to answer the prompt in any factual sense, it is instead designed to generate text that looks reasonably like an answer to the prompt. For some topics this is ok. For stuff involving facts and truth, not so much
I'm no expert but I don't think that's how it works
Up next: how to make toast.
She should reply that too many of them are racist fuckwits.
