The sci-fi fantasy that AI hucksters use to fool people into thinking there can be manmade intelligence is that it goes all the way back to 1818, with the publication of "Frankenstein." In the very first version of "AI," Mary Shelley got something fundamental about the desire to believe.

the male reading thing is way simpler than most people make it. men typically don't like reading books about women whereas the opposite isn't true because women typically see men as subjects and men typically see women as objects

Seems like.... Daring Fireball wants people to ignore whatever's not working well on X (fka Twitter) and just be there to get more tech exec POVs? Compare and contrast... daringfireball.net/2026/10/x_on...

X Once Again Marks the Spot

If you returned from exile on a desert island and took a look at X today for first time in a year, you might reasonably guess that Elon Musk got bored and sold it while you were away.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I followed the link given in the Google AI text, and it went to TikTok. I hate that I showed someone it as true before I realised. So not only probably faked by AI (or old school Photoshop), but falsely confirmed by AI to be genuine. (ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LINKS)

I'm just waiting for them to say that the rules are different for light entertainment than news. I might be tempted to believe them if the BBC wasn't institutionally captured by transphobes. And yes, poppies and Union flags are political symbols.

Spot the difference. Apparently the blue shirt on the right is ok for broadcast by the BBC, but not the white one on the left. 👀

"Protect the dolls" T-shirt, subsequently censored but the BBC. "Dolls" is slang for trans women and tranfemme people.

"This T-shirt identifies as a Christmas jumper" T-shirt, prominently displayed on BBC news. If you think this isn't transphobic I've got a bridge to sell you.

Anyone quoting an anonymous racist like this is basically doing the same thing Enoch Powell did in the Rivers of Blood speech in 1968:

"A week or two ago I fell into conversation with a constituent, a middle-aged working man who works in one of our nationalized industries. After a sentence or two about the weather, he suddenly said: 'If I had the money to go, l wouldn't stay in this country.' I made some deprecatory remark to the effect that even now England was not so bad a place to live in.
He took no notice of this, but said:
I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with families. I shan't be satisfied till / have seen them all settled overseas. In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man.'I can already hear the chorus of execration. How dare / say such a horrible thing? How dare / stir up trouble and inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation? The answer is that/ do not have the right not to do so."

In Germany, the curb can charge your car. Developed by Rheinmetall, these electric vehicle charging points are integrated directly into sidewalk curbs, removing the need for conventional charging posts. The compact system delivers up to 22 kW while taking up virtually no additional sidewalk space.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

There's just this constant: "You must pretend that you are at a ladies' tea party even in the midst of a massacre, which is by the way your fault because you're not tea partying with enough daintiness and reserve. Doilies shall be thy only weapon against cannons." Fuck that. And hooray for Ossoff.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.
