"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

It’s so confusing. I thought Farage was a huge fan of charity, meaning donations given freely by people with no expectation of anything in return.

Can someone from the new Treasury team now reverse the idiotic new requirement for freelancers and small businesses to produce quarterly accounts under MTD please? It’s hours of extra work & won’t bring in one extra penny in tax. As usual, the only winners are accountants.

I have put together a little video guide to Nigel Farage's umm... evolving views on hecklers. They seem to be quite dependent on whether the heckler disagrees with him (bad, boring, frightening, dangerous), or shouts abuse at a woman in the street (buy him a pint/give him a peerage).

Der nächste britische Premier könnte Nigel Farage heißen. Schuld wäre Keir Starmer
Mit dem faden Keir Starmer sollte Kompetenz und Ruhe in Großbritanniens Regierung zurückkehren. Die Realität ist eine andere. Von einem schlechten Premierminister, der es gut meint.

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis. It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

It’s a mark of the poverty of thought of these characters that they have to take a brilliant writer’s imagination and use her novel as an instruction manual. And only after it became a TV series because they don’t read. They can’t even invent their own fascist dictatorship.

All the men (and a few women, let’s not forget those) did, centrists and right-wing populist alike. It’s just that there are no consequences for the latter. It’s quite clear that Epstein had no preference re left/right/centre. He just hated women and wanted to burn it all down.

In Europe, the publication of the Epstein files above all helps right-wing populists. Which was probably the plan. www.stern.de/politik/ausl...
