Turn off the toxic algorithms! Today I introduced the "Online Safety (Recommender Algorithms) Bill 2025". This is what the public wants, what Coimisiún na Meán have previously recommended, what the Oireachtas AI Committee currently recommends... but will the government actually do it? #SpéirGhorm

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

NOW - Musk: "My prediction is there'll be more robots than people... everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one... who wouldn't want a robot to... watch over your kids, take care of your pets... we are in the most interesting time in history."

So we have figures now. Grok created and shared 1.8m sexualised images of women between December 31 and January 8, after Elon Musk promoted the feature on X. Overall, the Grok chatbot generated and posted 4.4m images — 41% were sexualised images of women www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

The democrats are currently trying to reward big tech and permanently entrench its power by pushing horrific mass surveillance and censorship laws under the guise of “cracking down on big tech” and “kids online safety.” DO NOT LET THEM TRICK YOU!!

Ah we've reached the "sensible centre having issues with unelected judges" stage of Ireland slide rightwards.

Screenshot of an Irish Independent article. The headline reads: ‘Eoin O’Malley: When politicians have to plead with European Court of Human Rights judges, democracy is in danger.’ A subheading below states that elected governments are being constrained by judges ideologically committed to progressive utopianism."

So the question now is how will the Campaign Against Antisemitism be sanctioned for an “abusive prosecution” and “using the criminal justice system for improper reasons”? Or would that be considered antisemitic?

Finally some consequences. Slimy racist sexist creepy pervert piece of shit. I've always hated him, it felt so wrong when he got involved in kids books. & then there's this: "Walliams performed two Nazi salutes during the recording of the BBC's 2025 Christmas special episode of Would I Lie to You?"

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents. And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

anyone who believes and/or promotes the use of chatbots/ AI “companions” for therapy either chooses to ignore evidence that these bots can actually exacerbate mental health issues or is speaking from a place of ignorance dl.acm.org/doi/full/10....

Should a large language model (LLM) be used as a therapist? In this paper, we investigate the use of LLMs to replace mental health providers, a use case promoted in the tech startup and research space. We conduct a mapping review of therapy guides used by major medical institutions to identify crucial aspects of therapeutic relationships, such as the importance of a therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. We then assess the ability of LLMs to reproduce and adhere to these aspects of therapeutic relationships by conducting several experiments investigating the responses of current LLMs, such as gpt-4o. Contrary to best practices in the medical community, LLMs 1) express stigma toward those with mental health conditions and 2) respond inappropriately to certain common (and critical) conditions in naturalistic therapy settings—e.g., LLMs encourage clients’ delusional thinking, likely due to their sycophancy. This occurs even with larger and newer LLMs, indicating that current safety practices may not address these gaps. Furthermore, we note foundational and practical barriers to the adoption of LLMs as therapists, such as that a therapeutic alliance requires human characteristics (e.g., identity and stakes). For these reasons, we conclude that LLMs should not replace therapists, and we discuss alternative roles for LLMs in clinical therapy.

The Gaza Strip is less than one tenth the size of County Tipperary. There are about 2 million people crammed in there. Blockaded. With little food, shelter or medicine. Imagine a narrow strip of land from Thurles to Clonmel. That is the size of Gaza.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

David Walliams just the latest in a long line of predatory dangers where the British media have sat on or killed stories that were already open secrets to enable them. All whilst inventing stories to smear minority groups as dangers themselves. An absolutely rotten industry.

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Right-wing media and so on don't actually like Linehan; they just hate trans people. If this loser is willing to destroy himself on the altar of their obsession, that's a sacrifice they are more than willing to make. Publishing his self-destructive ravings is irresponsible on so many levels.

Tweet from Stuart Stevens:

When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party.
They are a dissident movement.
Act like it.
First day:
- cut off all funding of Exec. Branch
-vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX
-defund ICE
That's the first day.
On the second, get more aggressive.
There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Israel’s defence ministry just announced a contract to buy drones from Xtend. Its SKYLORD drone system was developed with €50,000 in EU Horizon money, which is not supposed to fund military applications. The EU grant page links to the current Xtend website, advertising its “military grade” drones
