The ChatCPT caricature trend is all over social media, but not everyone is happy with the results...
9 times the ChatGPT caricature trend went horribly wrong
Is ChatGPT calling you out?
bit.ly
Disappointing as it may be when professed friends of cartoonists post A.I. slop, it is absolutely soul-destroying when cartoonists themselves do it. Your instantaneous “caricature” is predicated on the plunder of countless hours of labour by many thousands of artists. Show a shred of solidarity ffs.
Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe’s personality cult founded last week, placing ahead of the Liberal Democrats, descendants of one of the two great historical parliamentary behemoths.
Labour are once again favourites with Ladbrokes to win the most seats at the next General Election - narrowly.
Labour at 13/8 with Reform at 7/4 (14/8) and the Conservatives at 11/2
The election is probably over three years away: Reform lead the polls, but have dipped to 28% from 31%

Seriously. Imagine you were the head of Amazon and you learned your scheduling was so tight, drivers were pissing in water bottles. I don’t care how mercenary you are, any normal human being would think “that’s a problem we need to address” not “fuck em”.
One of the great myths of our society is that really rich people are rich because they are smart.
They are not rich because they are smart.
They are rich because are broken. Because nothing matters more to them than hording wealth. Because they lack morality, empathy, and social responsibility.

It’s also virtually impossible to become a billionaire without choosing immorality many, many times.

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

Never mind that people do want to hear & see actors. Never mind all the film technicians that Schrader has worked with & at least one or two of which must have been halfway friendly. Never mind that there’s literally nothing stopping a writer self-publishing their mind-blowingly original stories.

Thinking more on it, the “relief for female patients” headline in particular is really nasty work by The Sun. It intentionally suggests there was some kind of impropriety or threat towards female patients from Beth Upton when that wasn’t even a factor, it was a dispute with one co-worker.
Today The Sun has a front page story about how Beth Upton has quit the NHS, which they have framed as “a relief for female patients,” misgendering her throughout. You have to go to 3/4 down page 7 to read a three-line paragraph noting that Dr. Upton was cleared of any wrongdoing in the tribunal.

All Farage has ever done is international finance & disaster capitalism; whether implicated or not he is, to his boots, of the Epstein Class. If he is to achieve power he must convince sufficient doddering retirees that he is an upright moral guardian & hence accept the t&c’s of the ADF et al.
The comments on this are really really interesting. First comments are from reform supporters (because reform is tagged presumably). Many seem a bit botty. Then, other people show up… youtu.be/PGGgzSPFCpM

The actual story here is that a doctor, who was found blameless and to have herself been harassed, had her right to anonymity removed and had her name dragged through the mud in a humiliating media circus, and was driven out of her job and forced to flee the country for Australia.

Dwarfed by Labour & Tory’s respective problems, but never-the-less this week’s headlines show how the effects of the great Salmond/Sturgeon schism are ongoing, and have left the SNP depleted & wholly managerial in approach. If only Yousaf had been a little more seasoned before taking the reigns.
Westminster is in chaos, armpit deep in the Epstein scandal and Labour plotting. Yet there’s radio silence from the SNP on independence. Now is the moment to strike and say an Indy Scotland would be better than this circus. Speak out now if you want to win the fight
