I do not understand why anyone would buy a squeaky dog toy you're just paying money to annoy yourself.

I mean the thing is, she’s obviously really fucking stupid, but shouldn’t the job of journalists be to kinda push back on this shit in real time? Of course Robinson wouldn’t do this because he’s also a fucking dyed-in-the-wool Tory piece of shit.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Fuck this guy.
We should all be so lucky to have a chance to speak directly to our kind and beautiful Muppet friends.

Once again, it’s weird that our media conducts interviews with Muppets as if they are autonomous individuals. Also, my lawn is something you should get off

"You don't know how good at writing you are."
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Paul Gross your country needs you.
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Since my local bookshop separated its SFF into a totally different building I can no longer purchase an experimental novel in translation alongside a 40k novel in order to signal to the attractive staff member that I am a well-rounded individual who reads more than Warhammer tie-ins.

Because “I was right to be wrong, and you were wrong to be right” is the constant mode of our establishment.
Good to hear Rachel Reeves finally attack the 2 child benefit cap - but if Labour were so much against it, why’s it taken them so long to scrap it? And why were Labour MPs suspended for saying *exactly* the same last year? There’s no moral high ground here #budget2025

When I was in middle school some boys in the locker room said if you laid on one arm until it was numb and then touched yourself with it, it was like being touched by someone else. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

I think we are long past the point of noting the judiciary is ideologically captured by bigots and extremists
It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

Wrote this a couple of weeks ago. Feels more relevant still after today. And it’s a deficit of self awareness which goes far beyond some members of the BBC board.
