If language is what makes us human, what does it mean now that large language models have gained “metalinguistic” abilities?

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey slams the UK media's "easy ride" for Farage:
"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others give Farage so much time... They never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done. The damage of Brexit... So much of what is broken today is broken thanks to Farage."

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness
The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

A mob of angry drunken men screaming abuse outside an asylum hotel have defended their actions, saying all they want is for women and girls to feel safe walking the streets.
From the new Private Eye, out now.

@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…”
Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform.
Do we have to keep doing this?

Where are the calls for Rylan to be dismissed from his media roles. Gary Lineker was hounded for his comments, which were nowhere near as divisive and inaccurate as this rubbish. Let’s talk about dual standards!
