And half the politicians pontificating about it do so on a far-right paedophile website, without the slightest self-awareness about how ridiculous they look.

I've done My Week: Donald Trump (again) for tomorrow. My first draft genuinely had a joke about Trump thinking there were penguins in Greenland but I took it out because it seemed too stupid.

I think I understand #BlueMonday now. Apparently it's when everyone is a little bit depressed, because it's cold and dark and the glow of Christmas has faded and it's the start of World War Three.

I think I speak for all of us when I say (to Trump): Fuck right off. And when you have fucked off, go fuck off some more. And then keep on fucking off until you have fucked off as far as you can.

I've done a bit of a deep dive into this in the past few weeks and the TL;DR I've come away with is that if you listen to the actual AI experts (Yann LeCun, Fei-Fei Li, Richard Sutton) and not the sales men (Altman, Melon Husk, Nadella, Huang, various podcasters), the below take is probably correct.
I think I have a reasonably good intuition about how LLMs work, at least at a basic level, so I'm slightly baffled when people who are much more invested in the space see them as a foundational basis for AGI.

How long before Dominic Raab and/or Matt Hancock come out for Reform? I did check they hadn't already, FWIW.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

So the US has extracted *two* people from Venezuela and now they're going to "run" it, without any kind of invasion? Even if the regime immediately folds, surely the people will want to run their own affairs via democratic elections? What am I missing? Extraordinary hubris.

I think the hype curve is starting to curl downwards.

Bloody immigrants... unimmigrating.
I've been doing this as a comedy bit for years, but I do believe it; before I die, I will see the establishment of a Royal Commission on Britain's failure to attract sufficient immigration, and many of today's broadsheet ethnonationalists will be on it
