Last night I met a guy who said everyone in his office uses ChatGPT "because you just type in two lines and it generates a whole email for you!"

And I *very correctly* replied that "no one wants that 'whole email' they just want the two lines - and they all hate you"

"Fine Gael will continue to use the website mainly because it is of use to communicate with journalists."

Have they never thought of other social media sites? Press releases? The plinth? Posting on their own websites? Journalists will get the message.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Found €20 of the missing €30 under the couch!
Never thought I'd reach that point again where a lost €30 is the difference between toilet roll & wipes for the house or having to go without til Tuesday 😔

Bolger is still a member of An Garda Síochána but was suspended in 2018, the court heard. He had been promoted to the rank of detective and was attached to Howth Garda Station in August 2018. @irishtimes.com

This just reinforces my conviction that reporting a crime of domestic violence to @garda.ie still carries a significant risk of its own that they'll dismiss you, or quietly take the side of the abuser. Gardai supporting a man who beat a woman doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Solidarity with #MargaretLoftus & absolute shame on the Gardai who testified on behalf of a violent abuser. Margaret commended the women who’ve gone before her. Survivors increasingly break anonymity to call out the traumatising, misogynistic legal system.

We do have a bunch of feral cats in the mountains who come down to the beach to eat fish, and old people do play random games while smoking on the street corners at night but that's mostly on their phone waiting for the weed man...

crew, what was your hyperfixation BEFORE our flag means death 👀

From 2012-2022, I was fully back into Batman: The Animated Series & the associated comics from 1992 to 2006 💕 I had stopped when Return Of The Joker killed my man, but then Arkham Asylum games got me right back in again ✨

The Special Relationship.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

If someone built a tool allowing strangers to create sexualised images of children, we would shut it down immediately.

So why is the government treating X and Grok with kid gloves when their products are causing so much harm?

@bsky.app absolutely disgusting that you'd allow these cowardly murderers to create an account, let alone verify it. Guess we all definitely know what side of history you're on.

I'm somewhat tired of pretending that trans women using women's changing rooms and bathrooms has ever been a problem, as entire legal systems contradict their own precedent specifically to deny trans women dignity and serve up sacrifices to gender-conservatives and bigoted religious groups.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.

The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.

In our view, X no longer aligns with these values
