My Redzone is now in Spanish. WTF?

I’m very much not very online anymore and I have to say the AI sex cult stuff does really sound like David Ike lizard people stuff. May be true but you all sound like lunatics.

You’d get similar numbers for solar farms. The public aren’t a good gauge for what development is needed.

The US now has a marginally harsher attitude to the ICC than under Obama. Same as they do marginally more extra judicial killing. Same as they imprison more people without trial than under Obama but it’s not new. It’s all on a spectrum and I don’t kid myself about that.

College Football should do something about having massive hype and atmosphere and then almost every kickoff result in a dead ball.

Honestly the logistics of going to almost all of these from Cork is easier than getting to Slane. Potentially cheaper too.

Are people actually interested in what people were doing on 9/11? I assume nobody cares what I was doing.

Depressingly you don’t need AI to create a civilisation ending bio weapon. The technology and knowledge to do that is 50 years old. The results of the research also sits in freezers around the place.

Even my LinkedIn of professionals who would be extraordinarily wary of speaking out against the government are up in arms over the level of inaction here.

If my group chats are anything to go by there’s going to be a lot of middle aged Irish men going on trips to Seville to see Troy Parrot.

Irish people ironically regard the Normans as English.

Nobody will convince me that having vast quantities of mail-in votes is good for belief in the integrity of the voting process. Without doubt if we had more of it the far right would have been out claiming a fix etc. We stumbled into a very transparent system.

My BlueSky feed has gone pretty rapidly from "AI is a useless toy" to "AI is a massive cyber security threat that needs to be stopped."

Am I being dumb but is it not perfectly reasonable for Google and Apple to rename things when the government say to rename them? That’s how things get renamed in Ireland?

The British Museum being problematic. Whatever next?

The replies here are amazing. People deeply offended at the fact that you don’t need to go really out of the way to consume vast quantities of water

The other bizarre thing I’ve seen a lot on here today is that people who don’t like AI are deeply concerned about the ROI of VC investments. I usually quite enjoy people losing money on things I don’t like (e.g. Crypto)

The fact they have the English characters using Americanisms in Ted Lasso is so ridiculous. It’s training not “practice” for example. The premise of the show is that he’s a fish out of water, I’m sure the audience can deal with it

Mark Zuckerberg buying an old house in Waterford should not create any sort of emotion in you. It's not worth caring about these things.

Not trying to take a dig at Don but do people have amnesia about America pre Trump. For my entire adult life they’ve been entrapping various people by suggesting bomb plots or whatnot. Same as people forgetting about Obama era drone strikes or Guantanamo Bay or what not.

Clearly the stockpiles were far too low in the first place to be at the levels needed for a conflict with China over Taiwan.

Always been a truther on the idea you need to self censor on TikTok e.g. "unalive" and that view is only strengthened by the fact that you can go on there an watch all this footage of teens stealing cars and driving down the motorway.

Reminds me of that great tweet which went something like “Americans check themselves into rehab for what the average Brit drinks on a two-hour train journey.”

The public is not pro net zero. People say they are pro net zero but their revealed preferences clearly indicate they aren’t. The same people will be against carbon taxes and pro net zero…

It’s definitely not THE Civil War that comes to mind for people living in my part of the world!

I am on social media maybe 5% as much as I used to be in the Twitter days and I miss next to nothing about it. Even when it was good it was still lots of arguing with strangers on the internet. There’s almost always something better I can be doing.

Easy. Not being allowed a normal life when 90%+ of vulnerable people had full vaccination and a first booster.

To continue to make myself unpopular on here, the anti-Fauci people are nuts but the dismissal of the idea that it could be (not was) a lab leak was clearly wrong and there clearly are risky ways of researching viruses.

For me the main thing about national FAs getting sucked in by this FIFA thing is that it’s already their money. You’re just selling low. The Super League was different, that was putting up a wall that actually increased value for the clubs involved.

My least Bluesky opinion appears to be that it’s understandable that Covid broke some people’s brains given it was illegal to leave your house other than in limited circumstances for months , my kids had no education for huge amounts of time and the guards were baton charing people drinking outdoors

The guards seem to be seizing e-scooters just fine all of a sudden under the existing laws. Looks like it was a lack of effort not a lack of laws until now....

Shut down the AI so only state actors can hack at will.

Unsurprisingly people's priors about AI are being reflected in their response to the Open AI story.

Ironically I’d seen the Club World Cup so I was surprised he’s standing off to the side.
