It's 6.30am in December, in torrential rain. I've just passed at least four people sleeping in closed shop and bank doorways on Station Road, Clacton. Farage has mentioned his constituency in Parliament just three times in a year and a half - re. winter fuel allowance and local elections.
Farage himself is currently in Abu Dhabi, representing his constituents at the Formula One...

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

I never understand people who say they love music and happily and blindly talk about their Spotify accounts. The two don’t equate.

This is what it amounts to. Poor optics from the Waterstones boss.
Waterstones says they would sell plagiarized books.
Waterstones would sell books written by AI, says chain's boss
James Daunt says booksellers instinctively have "disdain" for AI but it could be sold if clearly labelled.

Nothing is more symbolic of Europe's inherent weakness of resolve - EU and UK - than the failure of governments and institutions to leave X/Twitter en masse. It's easier to stay, so stay they do. Pathetic.

The thing is, most of us knew the essence of the stories about Farage many years ago - but the media still had a complete love-in with him, and the BBC built him up relentlessly.

Farage doesn’t know which side his bread is buttered on, pointing out that the BBC put racists on the telly when he was a lad.
If they didn’t put racists on the telly we’d have no idea who he was.

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.
Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’
It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

Um, if an LLMs's tendancy to lie and cheat isn't something that can be stopped, maybe this isn't a great product to incorporate at every level of our professional and personal lives?
Large language models often lie and cheat. We can’t stop that—but we can make them own up.
OpenAI has trained its LLM to confess to bad behavior

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?

Modern football. £100k+ a week to fall over on contact. Repeatedly. Ad nauseum.
You’d think referees would be wise to it. Then you remember they haven’t addressed it for years, decades even.
