Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Now comes a winter of ghosts and those beasts that live at the edges of fever when it has turned to shiver. In this season's shortened light, rain grows sharp teeth and wind becomes a spearpoint against bones. Even dawn seems reluctant to hoist hope high. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Dawn

This is the budget where Labour's leaders consciously dumped green policies that they wrongly think are holding up growth. We don't need new drilling for oil if we cut bills by putting a battery in every home to use cheap plentiful overnight power.

There are agreed terms (see Carter's "ABC for Book Collectors") that most professional booksellers use.
One popular term right now is... problematic.

Planning and Infrastructure Bill going through is extremely bad news for wildlife and nature and I for one will never forgive Labour for forcing this through. You don’t have to decimate the environment to build housing, this was a straw man #ecocide

The chalk stream amendment 38 of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill just got voted down in the HoL, and 40 ( protected species) was withdrawn.
I can’t tell you how truly devastating this is for nature in our country, on land and in our waterways

Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.
They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.
But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.
