I saw a news story about AI leading to a rise in complaints since they're quicker and easier to write with AI. As someone who responds to complaints in my job, it doesn't bother me since we use AI to reply to them all anyway.

There was indeed 60btls of this yesterday, there are less than that now. Our 2018 Fiji rum bottled exclusively for us. 3yrs in ex-bourbon in Fiji, 18 months ex-cognac and then fired into a sweet white port cask and bottled this year. Less than 70 of your earth pounds and that’s Xmas sorted 😘

Image 1: A comic book panel. Emma Frost stands behind and speaks to Miss Piggy.

Emma Frost: Darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your midn to ascertain if you're telling the truth?

Miss Piggy: But of *course*, darling. I am an open book, a tell-all memoir.Image 2: A continuation of the same comic. Emma Frost's eyes glow white and her mouth is agape. 

Emma Frost: My god...

Behind her, a kaleidoscope of images of Miss Piggy in various scenes and forms, including dramatic action kick wearing spandex, wearing expensive-looking clothing, and wearing a tiara and being carried by shirtless men in a palanquin. There is a multi-colored star motif and several sparkle effects on the image.Image 3: two horizontal comic panels.

Top panel: Wolverine touches Emma Frost's shoulder from behind.

Wolverine: Frost? She legit? 
Emma Frost: She's... She's...

Bottom panel: a closeup of half of Emma Frost's face, eyes and mouth still wide with wonder. 

Emma Frost: "...She's *everything*. And I would *die* for her.

Similar to driverless cars. Until they tell us who’ll be in court when it kills someone, we shouldn’t let it happen. These AI companies can’t be allowed to shrug and say “it did it on its own”. Then turn it off now, cos you’re going to prison and we’re taking all your money if/when it kills someone.

These are instore only for the moment because last time I put Thompson bros old grains on the website they were all shipped back up to Scotland. North British 34yr from Edinburgh for the price of 1.5btls of Bath Gin. Strathclyde 36yr from Glasgow for under the price of 2.5 btls of JW black.

If there's a single graph you need to see to understand the AI extinction debate, it's this. To survive, frontier AI giants need to burn $10 trillion (a tenth of world GDP) over nxt 5 years. But they will only earn $3 trillion - a financial blackhole of $7 trillion. Who is going to go extinct?
Anthropic, OpenAI and Google DeepMind will need $10 trillion over next 5 years, but will earn only about $3 trillion.

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now

From 2012 -2020, Bristol had its own currency. The Bristol Pound was created to support local business & keep money circulating in the area. Backed by Sterling at 1:1, it became the most popular alternative currency in the UK and mayor George Ferguson received his entire salary in Bristol Pounds 1/2
