Believing an all knowing super-intelligent being is going to arrive in a few years to save us all is a totally different thing to being in a cult… isn’t it?

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

So my daughter just picked this lanyard at the dollar shop as she loves capybaras and I bought it thinking nothing of it then I saw this. Can somebody please tell me what the fuck I’m looking at?

Oh it’s definitely here to stay I agree, you can’t put that genie back in the bottle. That said I regularly find Ai-shills saying ridiculous stuff like “I’ve 10x’ed my productivity?” The entire Industrial Revolution (100ish years) yielded a total of 2-3x output.

That’s true, and there will be a reckoning for them, but it will take them 5 years to realise it.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that apparently AI is going to take all our jobs and yet productivity statistics have been anaemic since before ChatGPT launched in 2022 and haven’t statistically improved at all?

I wish Britain the best, but I am not optimistic.

The question Britons must now ask themselves is not “will Burnham be a good PM”, (Starmer did a remarkable job given the circumstances he inherited) but “if Burnham is a good PM, how can we possibly keep him?” The west is losing the ability to assess their leaders, unless they are liars and fools.

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/... This week, a reporter asked the president whether the deteriorating economic situation has created any urgency for him to reach a peace deal with Iran. “Not even a little bit, I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.”

Just watched Should I Marry A Murderer and man… either the Scottish police involved were utter incompetents or the Scottish criminal justice system needs a complete overhaul. They appear to need the case totally proved before they can place a suspect on remand. Muirhead was treated appallingly

Australia has acted to close a loophole on a tax program that incentivises big tech to remunerate local media outlets whose content they reproduce. Meta and Google are of course appealing to Trump to apply pressure. Both can fuck all the way off. We’ll decide taxation in our country. Thanks.

I’m not proposing anything, Australia has already acted and it’s in place. Europe is acting now too, we’ve got document-less age verification for adult sites in place now (via webcam age estimation) This is happening and it’s working. US kids deserve better.

Right now, 25% of the world’s population lives in a country that either has passed legislation to restrict social media use of children, or has legislation in parliament. Do Americas children deserve less protection?

I admit there is no good argument against this. MAGA attempted a coup d’état. But there are millions who voted for Trump who did not support J6 but they voted him in again anyway. But you must love your country more than your anger, even if they don’t.

I don’t actually have that much optimism. I think their insistence on victimhood and grievance has destroyed America. But they ARE people and fundamentally people have commonalities.

This is a strategy, it may not be identical with the one that defeats MAGA but its thinking like this that’s going to win

L.i.am @chyron.substack.com · 19/04/2026
It’s not really about me though is it? It’s about winning. What’s important now is that they are defeated politically, consummately. Without room for doubt. This is going to mean a broad coalition, which is going to mean seeing them as human

I don’t hate my political enemies. I don’t even hate MAGA. They’re just people who’ve been told over and over that the system is rigged against them, and they’re angry. I understand that. We’re going to have to build political coalitions to create lasting change. That’s starts with empathy.

Whether we like it or not, there are 2 effective political strategies: unite and divide. Both work, so the only way we can fight division is to reject it ourselves, and punish political leaders who seek to divide us.

Unlike the US, not everything the Australian government says is insults and lies. If the US had formally requested assistance with this shambles of a war in Iran, Australia would have responded. We always do, even when we shouldn’t Trump is just pissed that our government was critical of the war

Right and I guess that’s where my claim stretches a little, you’re right. It is possible though for those of us with domain knowledge to move much faster and much smaller team size to build all of it. The other thing to consider though is the p95 users don’t use most of it.
