Trying to imagine what kind of loser you’d have to be to watch or listen to Diary of A CEO. Do you not get enough of the dumbest rich people lying to you day to day without actively seeking more of it out? As my dad says: thicker than a Boxing Day shite

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8
AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All
I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

The Sora thing is so bleak and shows how far we've come from AI companies pretending they did not train on copyrighted material

The main use of Sora appears to generate brainrot of major beloved copyrighted characters, to say nothing of the millions of articles, images, and videos OpenAI has scraped.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

Hate or Pride?

Burberry, Adobe, KLM, Listerine, Nissan, Radisson Hotels, SoundCloud, Squarespace, Trainline and VistaPrint: the big brands that fund GB News' revolting homophobia whilst claiming to support Pride.

Here's how you write to them and ask them to choose.

The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points:
- transphobic bias in EHRC
- nightmare of SC ruling
- toilet bans are awful
- must hear trans voices
- IGLA rainbow map

There aren't any high level trans players at all in football. This is just a ban of people playing for fun at local levels

Obviously there's no moral or scientific backing for this, it's entirely political
Here is the FA confirming they are banning trans women from football on the back of the Supreme Court ruling despite the Supreme Court ruling having nothing whatsoever to do with this

Trans women ARE biologically women and no biased court can stop that basic fact from being true. Sex is a homeostatic property cluster containing an array of primary, secondary, and tertiary sexual characteristics. Trans people can and do change sex
