Not to bang a very old drum, but this is pretty much the story of UK labour 2015-2019. "We can burn it all down today guys because TOMORROW! We'll be fucking laughing and in charge"

"Does that mean he deserved to die?" See, this isn't the discussion. The discussion is about how every commentator is now painting Kirk to be someone who just wanted to engage with all people everywhere and suuuuure we disagreed on things but his quest was worthy.

It wasn't.

I put a Scotland flag in the window during France 1998 *because I was 18*, the age where you are supposed to do that kind of thing. Festooning everything with flags and talking loudly about Love of Country would’ve been viewed as crass, stupid and American, when I was a kid. And that was correct.

There's a bunch of stuff that these models are decent at, useful even. Generating emails that mostly just need to exist to create a paper trail? Spitting out a talk summary for a conference bio? Really competent at both of those. But, uh, Sam isn't gonna pay the bills with that kind of use.

Seriously; join the protests outside the migrant housing - take your Labour leaflets and wear your Rest is Politics T shirt. Go do the groundwork with the men with swastika tattoos, and waving flags saying 'kill them all'.

Get their vote. Mine isn't important.

ML existed before 2020, buddy. It's a whole field, pal. We've been using it for analysis for literally decades, chum.

Idk, funding for "cancer research" is being diverted into funding for "AI powered cancer research". Cancer researchers were already using ML where it made sense just like any other scientist. Maybe it aids the research, but it definitely aids the share prices of AI companies.

Not gonna keep posting the whole thing but this feels like one of the core sicknesses of mainstream media that got us here: The refusal of journalists to assess claims on the merits.

Yes, RFK Jr. "questions the system" like many on the left but he is also fucking wrong! That distinction matters!

if the left had a media apparatus comparable to the right, you wouldn’t need to go hunting for a left Joe Rogan; it would create him
