#Musk #Grok These people will destroy our world of knowledge. Buy real books. By respected authors in their field. Buy them now. Keep them. Pass them to the next generation.
They will use AI to lie to you.

A screen grab from Twitter in which Elon Musk explains how he will lie to the world with his own version of Wikipedia, soon.

I visited the magnificent Porta Nigra in Trier yesterday! It’s the best preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps! 🤩

I’m here for a few days with my museum buddy @drnwillburger.bsky.social Today we’re going to the State Exhibition ‘Marcus Aurelius’.

A photo of me standing in front of the huge Roman city gate known as the ‘Porta Nigra’ in Trier yesterday. The afternoon sun is shining through an upper window.

Best thing Victoria ever did was get rid of Kennett, a miserable old git with zero interest in anyone but his own cohort. If you want to know how much sense he talks, add up the number of years LNP have had power since his demise….

May Gertrud & all other victims of all murderous regimes, never be forgotten.

I think most movie actors have a pretty good life, but one thing I don’t envy is the idea of seeing one’s younger self pop up regularly & force you to face your own mortality! 😆

Was he planting underage girls in the massage rooms too?

Barely got past the first sentence as my brain explodes trying to deal with the fact it’s a decade old! 😳

Another astonishingly well articulated series from @willdalrymple.bsky.social & @anitaanand.bsky.social Gaza series has been fascinating & heartbreaking. As a Brit, saddened to see what a terrible part Britain played, as it has so often in the past. We owe so many people our nation’s apologies. 😞

I think Australia has a couple as well. Ironically we still aren’t making any moves to rid ourselves of an actual King.

82% of tobacco sales in Oz are now black market sales. Why is there apparently no attempt being made to crack down on this huge tax evasion?

@willdalrymple.bsky.social Really disappointedly felt you’d glossed over the inter-war period in your Gaza series…

Until I realised I’d missed out two episodes! There’s no cure for stupid, 🙄

Ok. I get that. Kinda why I thought it was a pretty trivial thing to get upset about. Not all that surprised you felt the need to quote post for a pile on though. Slight overreaction, maybe?🤔

Stevie Rae Williams🍷🐈‍⬛ @stevie1666.bsky.social · 23h

You seem a little reactionary, bud.

Your profile tells the world of some of the horrors you’ve experienced in life, & it’s AI that gets people a block… You know it might not be the most important issue to get tied in knots about.
Have a good day though. 😊

Today's the 959th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

She’s literally exercising one of those amendments Americans bang on about…

Some people just want to hate on TS, is the take-away here.

Any faith that so readily abandons those it once professed to love, just reinforces how shallow they really are.

It’s not enough to accept Big Bother’s narrative, one must follow on when it changes, as if it had always been so.

I can still remember my parents phone number from our home in 1979, the mobile number I had for over decade in the UK, my current number, & my wife’s current number. Everything else before or since will forever be in the lap of the gods.

Moved here in 09 after years running nightclubs in London, 16 years on, I think Melbourne is the best city in the world. 😁

Just driven someone to Centrelink. He’s asked me to wait as he’ll “only be a minute”.
We need this level of optimism to infect the world right now.
