Kiwifarms style doxxing for the purposes of targeted harassment from the sounds of it. Fully endorsed by the shithead in chief.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

For avoidance of doubt, if an English judge writes this about your case you are well and truly FUCKED

Consequently, while this has been a highly unusual case in so many respects, and has led me to write a judgment which is considerably longer than I would normally write

Holy shit he's not lying.

This judgement is WILD. And it's not even the full ruling yet!

The allegations against Darren Honeywill that he had thrown "a cup of tea over the Second Claimant when she went to the caravan site to visit Robert Verdier." That was a serious allegation which was entirely undermined by the playing of the video of the incident. The video showed that Ms Saunders and Mr Verdier were on the grass of the "chalet land" and that Mr Darren Honeywell was moving towards them and very angry (he had just heard that Ms Saunders had used her car in an incident with Jill Beresford- Ambridge where she had assaulted Ms Beresford-Ambridge who was still on sticks recovering from a hip operation), had taken the cup of tea out of the hand of Mr Verdier and thrown the tea on the ground and put the cup down. Having seen the video footage, Ms Saunders changed her account so that "… when she said thrown, she meant over her hand not when thrown on the ground". When it was pointed out that was simply not what the video showed, her counsel relayed "My client having seen the video she says she cannot recall … might have splashed on her foot." This was an attempt to malign Mr Darren Honeywill.

Unless you're interested in egomaniac wannabe cult leaders there's not a lot worth listening to. He's gotten a lot more attention recently because he's the original AI doomer but he's always been a crank.

AI video generators. Note that Sora 2 seems to be about as bad as Google Veo.

You get impressive demo clips out of these things by generating a *zillion* clips and only putting up your few successes. "I meant to do that." And never share your prompt, else others might try too and go "wtf."

THE PART THAT REALLY STUCK WITH ME WAS WHEN HE POINTED OUT THAT THE PEOPLE POSTING CLIPS AND GOING "WOW SO AMAZING" NEVER SHARE THEIR PROMPTS, BECAUSE THAT WOULD REVEAL THAT THE USELESS MACHINE FUCKED UP VERY BASIC DIRECTIONS.
IT CAN ONLY CREATE CLIPS THAT LOOK IMPRESSIVE IN COMPLETE ISOLATION.

Just bumped into the work of Philip Dadd, who died young in WWI. It's remarkably modern looking: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_...

Since it's extremely difficult to make chat agents secure against prompt injection, this would also be a use case for cryptocurrency, to the extent that you really really **really** don't want this thing having your bank details

Imagine the incentive structure at play to get your hands on data that can tie users with their real names and payment details to typing in horny shit. that is going to get breached at some point and exploited either as a public leak or blackmail.

I assume some kind of contract shenanigans with Lange which means we're keeping him till the end of the season. Otherwise, who the fuck knows?

I don't know how "Chelsea: The Blueprint To Being The Best Club Team In The World*" got printed but apparently both Man U and Spurs have well thumbed copies of it

*"There was a competition that proved it and everything"
