Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

Also “it escaped from a sandbox” is bollocks. A real sandbox is air-gapped. Escape-proof. What it ‘escaped’ from was a badly configured dev or test environment. Yet the AI spivs keep pushing the escape from a sandbox story, and news outlets like the BBC just print with verbatim without question.

A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.

‘The British public decided in the 1930s that they would not tolerate black-shirted militias marching through their streets. They would cherish robust political argument; they would not accept thuggery and intimidation. When Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts to Cable Street, local people turned them back. A new law – introduced by a Liberal, backed by Labour and carried by a Conservative majority – banned private militias, political uniforms and ‘the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object’. The British people are as determined today as in the 1930s that they will not accept the methods of Mussolini and the Munich Beer Hall. This government will uphold the law and defend the traditions of British democracy’.

I live in Shoreham-by-Sea where the tragic drowning happened yesterday. Local social media has been dripping in ‘thoughts and prayers’. I’m just waiting for the sudden switch now it’s been revealed that the family were refugees. It’s horrible - really fucking horrible - but I know it will happen.

There is no safe amount of hate you can ingest. There's no 'lite' version you can incorporate into your respectability. It can't be bargained with. It's the scabrous tail that ultimately wags you.

Never forget that LLMs don't give answers. They give you what an answer might look like. Very important difference. They do a reasonable job of this so often it will be correct. But it's never truly an answer of your question. Just a statistical guess at how an answer might look.

Journalists writing about the recent AI ‘hacks’, and writers of fiction such as The Undeclared War need to know one fact: if some code ‘escapes from a sandbox’ then it was never truly in a sandbox in the first place. A proper sandbox will be air-gapped. It was probably just in a test environment.

The stupid thing about my ADS-B (plane detector) setup is that I get the best results with an indoor mag-mount antenna on the edge of a thick metal plate which is tilted down slightly, and with the antenna squashed up against the double glazing. Works better than a proper outdoor antenna. Bonkers!

I notice that areas of land are now measured in multiples of football pitches. Is this a new SI unit? It always used to be tennis courts for small areas and ‘the size of Wales‘ for anything bigger. How many football pitches are there in Wales?

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.
