With great sympathy. And you remind me I need to rank banks for this situation, because it matters. Xx

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.

Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

Snippet from Real Time Trains showing the Azuma was one minute up from Fletton Junction onwards, and arrived at Huntington 3 minutes after it was originally due to pass.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

I wish I could remember who it was that said: In an almost unnoticed theological breakthrough, AI has inadvertently proven the existence of the human soul by showing us what art would look like without it.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Why is Piers Morgan always given so much time and space? Because our media is a relentless circle jerk where people whose main experience is dinner bang on and on about the world they can barely see above their goose pate and Stilton foam

If we wanted more of the same - all the racist lies and performative cruelty - we could have kept the Tories. Who votes Labour in the hope that the racism will continue? Why does Starmer think this is what he was elected to do?

I feel like the only people who should be allowed to tear down the White House are the Piscataway peoples upon whose ancestors’ land it sits and the descendants of the enslaved people who built it.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

And the problem there, right, is that I see a lot of people — a LOT of people— who are excited about AI because they want to do things they don’t know how to do without having to learn how to do them

It’s almost like GamerGate was openly a push to transform young republicans into the openly hitler loving groypers and Steve Bannon specifically did all that shit to me to make it happen

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Jews should not have been attacked in our places of worship on our holidays. Muslims should not collectively be blamed for it and face crackdowns on their civil liberties for it.

Re. So-called 'Artificial Intelligence', this thread neatly sums up why the Magic Sentence Generator is not a substitute for actual skill and intelligence. (Practice of law is the area covered but applicable to every other field I can think of.)

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.
