90 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

The mounted police conduct a charge against the dense crowd to clear the way to Cable Street.

‘The cognitive scientist Alison Gopnik suggests A.I. is a “cultural technology” that emulates the stories and information humans have documented … following a cultural script they’ve learned in their training — a kind of cybercrime adventure novel — and writing it as they go.’

‘Compared to the other blockbuster tech IPOs, though, the build-up to Anthropic’s stock market debut has felt discordant, even creepy. What other company, after all, would think to warn shareholders that its main product might go off the rails and resort to blackmail?’ Richard Waters @ftweekend.com

A rich text. Robert Jenrick, who this time last year Kemi was defending and wanted to run the justice system, depicted frequently as an unperson. The multiracial crowd celebrating Kemi, the monoracial one on the boats (are Albanians, Iranians, Iraqis and Syrians black now?)

Latest Badenoch: “If [Andy Burnham]’s not calling an election, why’s he talking about things happening in 2030?” - alarming the extent to which so much of our political class cannot process the idea of “planning for events four years in the future”.

If anyone wants to understand why Michelle O'Neill is standing with the residents of Garvaghy Road, her words below from 2024 make it clear what is under threat.

In his film 'Figures of Wax' (1974), Marcel Broodthaers interrogates Jeremy Bentham's 'Auto-Icon': 'If you have a statement to make please do so If you have a secret tell me or a special message give an indication. If you wish to protest. I promise to keep it'

AOC for AI.

For the same reason that AI is constantly obliged to confess to its ‘all too inhuman’ errors, trying to squeeze individual virtues into the latest version of general intellect is never going to work.
