Those who don't think UK should take asylum claims at all, must refuse anyone arrive without permission [which language here reinforces] won't be reassured by providing hotels but ban taxis for hospital appointments. Those who realise these are asylum seekers may find this performative + ugly comms

XhatGPT idiotic layout of 13amp plug wiring. Just random wires really.
CoPilot AI diagram of plug wiring. Two live wires, one forked off the earthm and a screw head is also labelled Live.
And finally, Gemini AI diagram of 13 amp plug wiring. Hard to know where to even begin with this. Just a mess really.
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

Reformโs new Welsh leader warns against the terrible things migration has done to London
James Downs, Mental health campaigner Dan Thomas has been announced as the new leader of Reform UK in Wales, and he has begun his tenure with a warning. He says he has โseen what uncontrolled immigrat...
If Wales is being cautioned against becoming like London in terms of immigration, we should be honest about what that means. It means not becoming more economically productive. Not becoming more internationally connected. Not becoming a place people actively choose โ๏ธ @jamesldowns.bsky.social

An interesting thread as always. As an โolderโ British person, I would have expected it to be spelled โduffelโ (the cloth named after a Belgian town, I believe), but it seems that duffle has become the default in both English and US English. Iโm a little saddened that it has lost its origins ๐
