It’ll be interesting to see where the Greens go from here Polanski had had a bad few weeks, very much of his own making (appearing to force his own selection in H&S, lack of leadership over ‘Zionism is Racism’) I’d be surprised if some members *aren’t* worried now

Coming on the heels of the reporting about lobbying the pope to say models could be conscious, it’s clear they are determined to impose their cultish worldview on everyone.

“Grossing up” is a very polite way of phrasing the very creative accounting both OpenAI and Anthropic are engaging in

Noah makes a very good point here I do think a lot of us still haven't worked through the trauma of that event, and our avoidance of it in pop culture - often a tool for catharsis - is unhelpful

That would be a slight exaggeration, but essentially: yes It took the Met a remarkably long time to work out that it was organised - rather than random, petty - crime

There is a version of this film which I think works; that being "here's how these c*nts keep getting away with it", Sorkin is too saccharine to entertain that idea fully

There are some interesting implications to this: 1) as @jessicaelgot.bsky.social points out, it *may* disincentivise downsizing (though the downsizing allowance might help here) 2) People are incentivised to hoard their assets in their primary residence - no second homes, fewer shareholdings etc

Well... yes, you finally launched some First-Party titles; obviously you're going to see growth compared to the period where you didn't release anything I understand the desire to boost employee morale, but this is fairly transparent spin

So what happens to the Tories' Bayeux Tapestry knock-off when conference is over? Is it going in the bin? Does some SpAd have to keep it under the bed in their spare room, on the off chance Kemi wants to wheel it out again the in future?

Therein lies the Badenoch Bell Curve™️: a hazy awarness benefits Kemi (“she’s confident”, “she knows what she thinks”), but an intimate awareness will ruin her (“didn’t she say the opposite yesterday?”, “what on earth is she talking about?”)

I'm genuinely curious to see what Ubisoft do here, given the game's core mechanic, a lack of main character, is one of its major issues Even if they don't stick the landing, I think it's worth devs trying more structural re-works of failed titles where possible

“He likes power, and I feel like this is giving him some sort of power. It’s all about power and control in everything he does…” White supremacists who talk about “protecting women” from migrants are, unsurprisingly, violent misogynists. They do not want women’s safety — they want to control women.

Structurally, I've often felt like politics faces a similar challenge to journalism. That being: How, in a modern, liberal democracy, do you ensure that the public does what's best for itself in the long term, rather than seeking out instant gratification - often to its detriment?

On #1: I’ve had quite a few friends - mainly women - who’ve been travelling recently remark on how much safer they feel being out in London on their own, compared to other international cities Given the above is backed up by recent crime data, I do wonder how Cons got to this as a tentpole issue?

i think we probably do need to do more talking about how to help women heal from sexual assault and less talking about whether and how sexual-assualting men can or should be rehabilitated, based on that realization that i've seen a great deal of discourse on the latter and ~none on the former
