If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books, now, will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say "The OBR released a budget analysis 25 minutes early". Everything else will be a footnote.

Is this seat that looks like it has a Derry accent conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person, perhaps one of your da's mates saying "Did ye aye mucker, right enough?". Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

I 100% set Gemini up for failure here but I appreciate LLMs' game willingness to go along when I asked it for details on the musical number I had just entirely made up

I am confused by the number of critics (and there are many) dragging Wicked for Good because it is “retconning The Wizard of Oz” and “being fan-service” and “explaining who the Scarecrow is”, when that is the exact point of the movie!

see also 'if your AI created revenge porn of underage girls we're treating it as if your CEO personally created and sent CSAM'
see also 'if your AI hit a kid and dragged them 500 feet in your self driving car we're treating it as if your CEO was personally behind the wheel and texting during it'
maybe we just say 'if your AI said it we're treating it as if your CEO said it to their face' for the purposes of liability

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*
This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.
Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?

Hahahahahaha as a vague Norwich fan, I legit adore that they have conceded a goal in the first three minutes of a new head coach’s debut match, after weeks of fans screaming GET THE COACH OUT and the old coach saying “not my fault, mate”.

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have
TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot

I did read this in a cab on the M4 at half five this morning so I was primed to be grumpy admittedly, but seriously - who the fuck cares what Richard Tice, Karol Sikora and Lord bleedin' Frost think of the covid inquiry? How are they relevant? The decline of the Telegraph is quite incredible
it's not useful, it's the Mail. but that is how they've reported the covid inquiry report. it's better than the Telegraph which is "three of our columnists think it's a waste of money" for a thousand words before they even mention its actual findings. Get more news from the Beano.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it
