I disapprove of AI replacing human creativity and thought. I loath the creeping (and galloping) fascism in society. And I hate the fact that nowadays I have to say so.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

I'm generally on the Left but I do miss a Conservative Party that was generally conservative, as opposed to this current toxic and incoherent mess of libertarian and reactionary.

In Britain a few decades ago we were assured that our culture meant we couldn't have fallen for Fascist nonsense in the 1930s. Gratutiously waving the Union Jack about in public was profoundly unbritish - that was for insecure foreigners. And paramilitary posturing was just ridiculous. Oh dear.

Looking at the coverage of Pissington's UDI, the pale residents do seem to like a far right shade of blue. I wonder if that's significant.

Real multimillionnaire/billionnaire 'patriots' would send £36million to the RNLI.

Burnham. The king in the north. The saviour of Labour. That didn't last long. He's lost credibility faster than Starmer.

It never does. But the apology from @thetimes.com to @mothinali.bsky.social should travel as far as the original article.

Farage encouraging the effective murder of those trying to cross. That’s what it is as forcing the RNLI volunteers not to intervene means letting people drown.

One thing Labour really needs to get through its head is that government has huge agenda setting capability. If the prime minister or home secretary calls these people what they are that will form parts of headlines and the like. We saw this under Starmer when the correct response finally came

So an open letter, signed by the huge tech companies that are pushing AI, warning us of the dangers of AI destroying the IT systems our societies depend on. And we're supposed not to hate and despise the thech bros? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Google, Microsoft and OpenAI among 100 firms calling for better cyber defences
The letter warns cyber-attacks which use AI will become more sophisticated in a matter of months.

The hill (or ship) I'll die on? I know that what's lumped together under AI includes many useful tools that we've had for decades. But the generation of crappy images, fake text, and misleading information (sometimes dangerously so) surely cannot be considered a boon to humanity.

Right then. Bluesky is it? Got a bit of reputation for being woke. Gotta change that! (Only joking, I'm as woke as can be! I simply share a memorable name, though no relation).
