Thanks pal

in a home invasion my attacker goes for a knife in the kitchen drawers but it's jammed by the potato masher and I make my escape

That is an incredibly intense and terrifying scenario, and I am so glad to hear that you were able to make your escape safely thanks to that jammed drawer.

The AI backlash is completely the fault of the dishonest hype merchants whose only talent is innovating new ways of lying. You pissed people off, now everyone hates you (justified) and your tech (less justified, but again, your fault)

This is deeply depressing. You are missing out on the whole relationship part. It's not just about exchange of information! This is also, btw, a period when your children will actually listen to you. I miss the days I could read to my children without an eyeroll.

longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

The companies crying for a slow down are the same ones that have been jamming their half-baked tech into critical systems (including schools, hospitals & our military) Apparently the only risk they care about is the literal extinction of our species — everything else is acceptable collateral damage.

This is what we are up against. It’s why I’ve always said the under 16 social media ban doesn’t go far enough. We shouldn’t be banning it for children, we should be properly regulating it for everyone. This is scary. How do we fight this?

So stitching together Tony Blair's interventions of recent months the argument seems to be: become a vassal to US bigtech/Government, then "from a position of strength" rejoin the EU that won't have any issue there. I see flaws.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
