Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Reform leader Mick Barton, who banned Nottinghamshire Live, has told councillors he’d “do it again”. The comment came during a meeting where a motion urging the council to “support a free press” turned into a "heated debate" www.nottinghampost.com/news/notting...

This guy spent years chasing me through the Guardian complaints system. I'd reported that his news agency had spread a wildly viral but denied claim that a Dutch teenager was legally euthanised at a clinic. He was so unhappy after his complaint was rejected he launched his own media regulator.

This is kind of galling, because although the cops lied and hid the video, and the Chief Constable has personal responsibility, it's basically coming out of the rates. So Northants residents have shit police AND have to cover the costs of that.
