That Data Forensics Guy. Founder of a UK AI startup. Happy husband & dog daddy. People would call me liberal, but I think I just follow the science. Half decent carpenter. Like to think I still do pretty well in the ring despite my age.

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.

I’m all for this and can absolutely confirm that Chase Utley has, in fact, traveled through time prolifically. It’s well known that on his travels he hunted nazis, but a lesser-known fact is that he introduced England to fridges in the 50’s and also likely triggered the French Revolution.

People do bad things as a result of scientific advancements all the time. The fact that someone may feel robbed of their agency doesn’t make it so - nor does it mean that there aren’t consequences for wrongdoing, so yeah - our understanding will improve, people will have to adapt…

Hard agree - science should never be about not discussing findings/theories. If we are confined to our physical selves and decision making, memory, values, etc are just functions of the brain then so be it - it doesn’t detract from who we are, and discussion about it certainly shouldn’t be avoided.

Zuckerberg actually woke up one day and thought “I know what people want - a little AI me, to sit on their desktop and judge them all day every day!” Like a little MS paperclip, but somehow even less human, and more irritating.

This is exactly the problem that will persist beyond the current administration. Why would anyone ever again trust the US to honour the negotiation when someone like Trump can be voted in and all those institutions we hear so much about just cave in and let him scrap all existing agreements?

The BBC asked Karoline Leavitt to clarify the White House stance on use of nukes. Her 100% absolutely reassuring response: “The Iranian regime has until 8PM Eastern Time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States. Only the President knows where things stand and what he will do."

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Just about every investor and analyst I’ve spoken to recently is expecting a global recession in the next 6 months. More than a few of them suspect Trump is actively trying to push for a recession, and this move supports that theory.

So this is a ‘major combat operation’ but not a war? I’d love to see the White House explain how anyone bombing the US and killing its leadership would not be considered an act of war.

To anyone wondering why it matters, there is a massive risk with your data being kept in a place where you may have no data protection rights. Imagine your daily movement information being sold to someone who would love to know when you’re not at home.

If you’re wondering why it matters; ask yourself, would you want an LLM (which, to be clear, is a word guessing engine) making a decision about your child’s healthcare? There are much better AI architectures for these things, but I’m horrified to the extent that people don’t even want to know.

Mark C. @mark-data.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
I have dedicated the last 20 years of my life to promoting the use of responsible and defensible AI - that is a massive subject to explain here, but let’s just say this; LLMs are not the way. Today I’ve been talking to UK councils, and am just staggered at how few people understand, or even care.

You’re absolutely right - there is an awful right wing movement in Europe that is growing, pushed by Putin mouthpieces like Musk and Farage. We’re not perfect either, I’m just pointing out that the perspective generally is quite different.

To Americans 100 years ago is a long time. To us it’s not, even if we weren’t alive then. We remember; our buildings still have the bullet holes. My family all suffered malnutrition. One of my grandfathers told stories of fighting in Italy, the other of his time with the resistance. We recognise it.

The cynicism of wanting to destroy the world to be able to pick up the pieces cheap is just staggering. This should be all anyone needs to see to understand what these people really want from this right wing extremism - it’s not ideology, it’s sheer manipulation and opportunism.

I have to wonder how many other state reps have had letters along the lines of “that’s a nice state you’ve got there, would be a shame if 3,000 ICE agents showed up… by the way, on an unrelated note, how do you fancy voting in favour of the latest funding bill?”
