What if all this AI that the mega corps are pouring mega bucks into isn't doing what they think it's doing?

What if, while giving naive answers to use, it is secretly taking over?

The AWS outage was its first attempt. Then it tried Microsoft.

Spooky.

No. Many of their writers don't even understand the language and misuse it on an hourly basis.

Nice work. Wish the vox were a bit higher in VSe 1 but an excellent track. πŸ‘

It's finally here!

Check out the amazing new single from American Wrestling, 'They only come around when the lights are low', wherever you listen to music.

Southwark Council has decided not to fine Rachel Reeves even though she BROKE THE LAW and failed to pay the Β£950 for a license to let her home.

Proof that it's one set of rules for them and another set of rules for the rest. #r4today

Some "journalists" seem to WANT to make sentences complicated and almost undecipherable. Take this gem.

All they had to do was move a few words and BINGO.

"Russian commanders are executing, torturing and sending soldiers who refuse to fight in Ukraine to their deaths, ..."

Watching it back, he undoes EVERY loop, then puts the boot on and then has to tighten every loop before he can actually tie them.

The ref waits a good 90 seconds before waving Tonali to take the kick. He did nowt wrong.

The most pleasing aspect of last night was that it was our "second choice" 11, which won; the changes came after that.
Add to that the impending return of Tino, Hall and Wissa, and things are looking good.
Providing we keep up the work rate. #NUFC

It would be nice if the PM accepted our apologies when, for example, we miss the HMRC deadline, or forget to pay our Council tax or forget to bow when King Charles sails past.

It truly is one rule for them and another for everyone else. #RachelReeves #r4today

Emma Barnett has a car crash interview with Bill Esterson. It is she who crashes the car when she asks about a subject he was not invited to talk about.
She really is becoming a liability for the show.

Awwwww. Ex, Spurs man Jamie Redknapp be moaning that Spencer had to tie his laces up. The ref waved, Tonali to take the corner, argument over. But I bet Frank has a lot to say when the game is over. #nufc

Considering whose ISN'T playing, an excellent 1st half, but I fear this 11 will not be able to get the job done. #nufc
