😼 Bats use echo-location. Not sure how far it is possible to make that into ignorance and idiocy.

Huh. Could have been about billionaire whose daughter thinks he's an arse.

Can you justify interviewing Mandelson?

#Blair vs. #Fukushima
If you're trying decide whether to watch the 3-part Blair documentary, much laced with Blair today talking head or the 4OD 3-parter on Fukushima, recommend the latter.
Blair doesn't explain Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) funding being largely Larry Ellison.

There had been much concern with the NHS and private contracts, e.g. drugs, through fear the NHS could be bankrupted (well the govt. would have a massive bill and that would be highly political) with adjudication by tout a fait an industry adjudication process.
◻️
How the contractual fight by a company like Palantir operates was one of the big issues with aspects of privatising the NHS. It had been variously claimed NHS would be bankrupted (not poss. with govt. owned, but expensive... is if in any way reneged on a contract. e.g. providing drugs for NHS.

#Palantir
#MOD
Those at all interested will have been paying attention to the 'Great UK Leap Forward' promoted by Starmer & Healy, & being immediately overcome with a strong, "Neither of them understand anything about AI"
Already Palantir is attacking CH for stopping contract.

Fantasy and romance writers address AI controversies after readers discover prompts in published books
Is it an author’s duty to disclose the use of AI tools for brainstorming, editing, or drafting? Writers and readers are still figuring out the rules.

😼 Obviously it's a complicated issue incl. LLMs accusing other LLMs of stealing their prompts.
But the fun bit is an author who has used AI to write a novel (say), up in arms because someone else has use his prompts to write a novel.
◻️
Thing is, MAGA is based on performative cruelty. Trump supporters like him being cruel to folks they don't like.
For Reform, the cruelty is in suggesting it alone. They don't have to implement this tripe. Reform voters will love it as it is the sort of othering they thrive on.

Prompt theft.

Buzzing round my head for days. They can't impeach 47 even when everyone sees he keeps falling asleep - a worry if he wakes with a start & decides to bomb somewhere at random.
Maybe he'll end up with a small bell attached to his hand which they have to ask him questions to get a response.
◻️
Keep up Jonn, now writers who used prompts to create their AI work and now crying about prompt theft.
A really funny article in the making there.
Book and film titles are not copyright which might make a start-point for a knock 'em dead article.

😼 UKICE could quite easily drag Zia out of his car and drag him off to a Reform plc owned detention facility, to which Farage would have to make an appearance to demand his released.

That's the Israel message he's parroting. Iran bomb/destroy Israel.
You could explain with natty infographics to your readers in US who may be wondering about building a bomb-shelter or moving to Arizona, how you get from weapons grade to making a bomb that will fit on an Iranian missile.

Read a lot of substacks from 'serious' folk, but do not as yet post. Got a clutch of drafts in there but now you are making me hesitant....
I understood long ago that big names get paid to have a substack, often substantial amounts.

Let's face it, Europe is the biggest trading block in the world and the US doesn't like it, being the hegemon.
But the attacks on Europe, both economically (EU) and militarily (NATO) are having the opposite effect.
