Jack Harrison @jlharrison.bsky.social · 18hI don’t want to say the AI bubble has burst but rather you can tell it’s reached maturity because both GPT-4 and GPT-5 had huge hype leading up to release about how they were leaps and bounds ahead of the last model and, in contrast, as a non-user this is the first I’ve heard they’re on GPT-6 now 120

Jack Harrison @jlharrison.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Rees-Mogg is embelmatic of how far the Overton window has shifted because he wears his opinion on his sleeve and he has held the same opinions basically forever and through no fault of his own he has gone from being on the right flank of the right-wing party to more liberal than a Labour government 196

Reposted by Jack HarrisonJames Ball @jamesrball.com · 23/09/2026I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it. 501556415
Jack Harrison @jlharrison.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This happened on my 23rd birthday and that morning I had an interview for a job with a company so closely linked to the Treasury their offices are on Whitehall.

You've got a non-state actor using violence to further political objectives. It's flagrantly in breach of democratic principles several times over. Inaction would be the most ultimate failure of a democratic government. 732170
Jack Harrison @jlharrison.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I never thought I would see the day where the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that even our ostensibly left wing party believes that enforcing basic laws concerning violent crime would play badly with its voters if the perpetrator happens to be the leader of a far right paramilitary 001

Reposted by Jack HarrisonEmma Yeomans @yeomans.bsky.social · 22/09/20266. As far as we can see, the rescuer was okay - though this is bordering on attempted murder. RNLI then headed towards the Solent, AIS off and chased by the far-right. Authorities in Portsmouth likely were warned that people would be offloaded and processed at Gosport, so Thomas rallied activists. 14964155

Jack Harrison @jlharrison.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Obviously all these reasons create a terrible stew but I’m drawn again to the tax issue specifically because UK tax policy is asinine in a lot of places like we are on the fifth year of the one year emergency fuel duty cut and why does national insurance decrease (as a percentage) as you earn more?? 100
