The letter from Farage’s school voicing concerns about his singing Hitler youth songs etc have been in public domain for YEARS. Nobody in this country gives a flying fuck. It’ll only be when he’s actually in power and the country is in pieces that liberal middle-Englanders will actually go “hmmm,”

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I would just like to say to Russell Beland, Springfield, that your "John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met" entry in the Washington Post bad analogy style invitational has remained near the tip of my consciousness for 25 years and always makes me laugh.

Fuck AI slop and fuck all those that made it happen
While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Geezer mime-busking the saxophone in Leicester Square really put on a smile on my face this evening. Just 100% pure grift, not even trying to get the fingers in time to the notes. Bravo, sir.

There should be some kind of effort to create war between pigeons and seagulls so they spend all their time fighting each other and leave us the fuck alone

Sora is a paper machete. It is low-quality, impossible to make consistent or reliable, while also being incredibly expensive to run. Every single “good” video you’ve seen is cherrypicked from dozens of terrible ones to make you feel scared that this can create entire movies’ worth of content.
Curious to hear your perspective on Sora. It seems to be the only real (and terrifying) AI product to hit the market lately. How much mileage are they going to get out of this thing that needs to be regulated out of existence?

Honestly, what's the point of saying they have to do this to prevent Reform, when outcome is effectively mass deportations by the back door and removal of rights anyway. More people becoming undocumented, which Labour's policies guarantee, lead, because of Labour's policies, to more deportations. 4/

Covid vaccines for anyone that wants them should be an absolute no brainer. Successive governments being so disinterested in the physical wellbeing of its working age population is a fucking travesty.
To be clear: the decision to deny most people in the UK the covid vaccine is related to money, *not* based on a public health concern. In other words, Labour did not allocate enough money for covid vaccines so their "cost-effectiveness" end up the determining factor. www.gov.uk/government/p...

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."
