Zack Polanski: Can the Green Party leader ‘rebalance the scales’ of UK politics? | The News Agents

In little more than a month of leadership, Zack Polanski has grown the party’s membership and become a powerful figure on the left-wing of UK politics. Can he, and the Green Party, take this further…

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

It's very simple.

The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money.

Not the people with hardly any money.

It really shouldn't need explaining.

Very very good letter in the FT magazine this morning pinpointing what humans definitely do when we “learn” and why machine
LLM “learning” isn’t that. (And also why LLMs take up so much more energy than we do for thinking.)

Human learning isn't like how machines learn. Merleau-Ponty pointed out that when we first tie our shoelaces, we follow instructions (and likely look at another human too). Left over right etc. But when we later tie our laces on the way to a job interview, we just embody all that learning. It's not even in our subconscious (until we get dementia).
After all, when you learn to ride a bike with training wheels, you need those wheels. When you actually ride that bike later, those training wheels are not in your subconscious at all.
They are gone. A bit like Wittgenstein's ladder, which we discard after climbing to a higher level.
Imagine a large language model telling me how to tie my laces.
It would look through every written piece about the process and start with left over right, or right over left, and would perform this giant search every time... for ever. Without
"learning" as humans do.

Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset Britain inch by inch'. But to what? Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

This is a clear-eyed breakdown of what’s really on offer ⤵️

Reform UK offers nostalgia, not solutions

Reform UK trades on national nostalgia – but behind the slogans lies regression, not renewal or reform

If our priveleged media class had half the empathy and knowledge and compassion as Zoe, we would be a totally different country, full of hope and decency.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.
