Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.

Very stupid. But the rest of the world is moving on without him. Read the speeches made at last weeks UN General Assembly high level week. The international community wants international rules to rein in AI. It will happen.

I do wish they'd get an editor to review their speeches. What does "wins in the AI revolution" mean? A revolution to remove/overturn what? Who is revolting? A win over who? What does this win look like? You're the fucking Chancellor – use your words properly. Your speech should make sense.

Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

They think it's a game. They think it's easy. That they'll stroll in and discover millions of ££ are being spent on rainbows (or sumfing) and "save the day". Instead, they discover it's a difficult, often thankless, job: managing vital community services without sufficient funding. So they quit.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

This could be the defining photo of trump's presidency: Melania's misery. The mix of misery and confused fury on trump's face as he wonders in, having forgotten his guests. The contempt on Xi's face is visceral, while his wife patiently waits for this horror to end. As do we all. (with Alt text)

We're looking through a doorway, out onto a balcony. Left to right: a uniformed soldier gestures for Melania, Trump, Xi and his wife to come inside, toward the camera.

Melania is dressed for a funeral with a face to match. She stares at trump. She could be in pain. Trump is walking ahead of the group. His back to the others, has he forgotten they are there? He is staring at the camera as though he's trying to remember the names of all the boys who flushed his head down the toilet at school. Xi is watching trump leave. He looks resigned, contemptous, and bored. His head is tilted to one side as if to say "oh god, what now". Mrs Xi looks toward her husband, her expression is blank and diplomatic. She is waiting to leave.

🔥 My hot take: Carlson is going to run for President after Trump is gone. And the MAGA loons are more likely to back him than Rubio or Vance. Rehabilitate him at your peril.

Why aren't newspapers - even the supposedly conscientious, well-meaning one - encouraging people to see this? It's absolutely vital. Stop giving Farage and other hateful trolls space on your pages. Write about something positive. Use the small influence you still have and be part of the change.

This is a low key tragedy. A broad consensus torched by a handful of ideologues and opportunists who do not even understand what net zero target is and why it was adopted. The reality is temperatures will continue to spiral until we reach net zero or civilisation collapses, whichever comes first.

Students will get AI to do their work and their teachers will use AI to mark it. The internet will churn out AI-generated content for AI to summarise. AI will phone AI to sell stuff. AI will hack other AI for corporate advantage. But what's the point? And where is actual revenue coming from?

The Tories called this "Austerity" and it didn't achieve anything. In fact, public services got worse. In the US, DOGE ended-up costing the taxpayers money. But yeah, let's give it different name and pretend it's a new idea 👍

Facebook began as a platform for Zuckerberg and his sad little college mates to "rate" the women in their classes. Probably because they were too scared to speak to them. Nothing has changed. These glasses were designed for stalking and bullying. It's what they're for.

This is both heartbreaking and infuriating. The efforts and resilience of this community is admirable, but where is the justice? There has to be prosecutions. Patriotism should mean caring for this "green and pleasant land", not shouting about refugees or Braverman's self-hatred. Great reporting.
