Just here to see funny things, catch up on news and maybe make a few comments. Might post a few pics from my travels occasionally. Profile header is from the Hayman island... nice place.

In his defence, the staff probably pissed in it.

Interference is easy to prove or disprove if, unlike Boris Johnson, you can be bothered to investigate, influence almost impossible. The average Brexit voter would not be able to tell you which lies - or liars - they found most persuasive. Many of them still claim they didn't fall for any of them.

‘It was a stupid thing to do. It was always going to be a stupid thing to do.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social is hopeful that Andy Burnham could successfully undo the Brexit ‘madness’.

'Do you think we were pouring sugar into the engine of the Brexit bus?!' Texter Richard says leaving the EU 'hasn't worked' because of 'people like James O'Brien', and @mrjamesob.bsky.social isn't having it...

Hmmm... I think the biggest horror would be having my likeness transplanted into that "Being John Malkovich" Movie...... I'd be traumatised watching that scene. "Gribbon Gribbon, Gribbon"

I noted it's omission and thought I'd better recheck, in case it was something I'd believed, but was mistaken about. Possibly due to a pending fake zoology book.

I think they're hoping to blame Zelenskyy. No doubt the idiots that ilodise him will fall in line.

Mr Global gives great explainers on everything oil. Brings many things into perspective. In this case it's that Trump has just shit on every ally and gained nothing. youtu.be/DXHBtAuM-n4?...

Went there on my own for a weekend break in 2014, just stopped in any restaurant. Ordered a steak, and local wine. Was amazing. Tried to find the location there on Google, but there's no accuracy...

My issue is the use of the word "Intelligence". It projects understanding, but LLMs are not intelligent. They're word predictors. That's their mathematical model.

Thing I loved about being part of the EU was that I believed it had resolved the Northern Ireland issue. There was no real pressure to reunify because we were all part of the same thing. In fact we could enjoy our differences. No idea what the unionist thought they were playing at supporting Brexit

Flashbacks to a far younger me stunned when Orlok managed to drop block mania poison into the water. "Things can't get more mental" I thought. Then the fecking Apocalypse War started. Though I'll never forgive the judges for what they did to Uncle Ump.

Jeez, that's a cracker view. Problem with cameras is they have to pan to cover a view like that, and wide angle lenses always seem to trivialise it. But I'd bet anything that standing there, taking it All in, was amazing.

How can anyone take it seriously without calling it "Super Duper Intelligence". Honestly, this has got to be the pivitol moment when the takes a look at itself

This reminds me of the "Tiger in Africa" sketch in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". Except where the officer points out the glaring issue of a tiger in Africa... I keep thinking.... "only three times".... "ONLY THREE TIMES" www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLdk...

We left to finally be free of EU regulation that meant teacups had to be stuck to their saucers.

The world can heal once the ballroom is finished, and at some future date when Trump passes away, he can be buried underneath it. The a plaque outside can read "Welcome to the Trump memorial grave. Please show your respect by correctly tagging your smiling selfies, and dance like no one's watching"

When your filing shows that your Trillion dollar business is based on pissing Billions up the wall, then of course you're gonna want people to focus on some other part of your filing.

Amazing how someone invented a cash incinerator and seems to have convinced some people that it's worth Trillions....

Hopefully if they save the Kennedy Centre, then the Trumpers won't be able to use that as a defence for the ballroom and arch.

Find tripit very useful. Saved my bacon a couple of times where I'd booked a hotel on the wrong date. Only spotted it because tripit had sorted it into a timeline.

Sorry.. last reply. It's vitally important that you get people to clarify the type of AI they're talking about. Remember "fuzzy logic" in old video cams is classed as AI. Get them to commit to what they're referring too, always. Probabilistic LLM models, or the currently sci-fi AGI?
