This interview with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app about all the recent doomer announcements from the AI companies is excellent. Two huge points: They do this to distract from the real harms. These safety researchers aren’t talking about people committing suicides or targeting Palestinian with bombs.

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

So the Greens now have more directly appointed MPs than Reform, so by Chris Mason's political logic, that must make them 'real' opposition to Labour...so I expect to see them represented on every political show the Beeb has to offer henceforth.

Fascists don’t need us to agree with them. They just need us to believe they can’t be stopped. Never forget that cynicism can quickly be contorted into complicity.

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit. It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

"A handbag?!?"
Snobbish Lady Bracknell, played by Edith Evans with an over-the-top enunciation of "handbag" in 'The importance of being Ernest'.

Jack (Michael Redgrave) is an orphan. He was abandoned as a baby in a handbag in a cloakroom in Victoria Station in London. When snobbish Lady Bracknell (Edith Evans) hears his story, her reaction is instant and hilarious.

In a voice a foghorn  would be proud of, she expresses her displeasure in two words:  “A HAND-BAG?”
