There are reflecting pools everywhere for those with eyes to see them

it is a photograph of an empty alleyway, framed in a symmetrical wes-anderson style, with the perspective lines disappearing off into the distance. the left-hand wall is concrete blocks or large bricks. the right-hand wall is some kind of fence, with periodic full-height steel bollards painted in a bright yellow, presumably to defend the fence from vehicular mishaps. the centre of the alleyway is a light coloured concrete and tapers towards the middle, where a thick green sludge has gathered, forming a kind of pool leading off into the distance. various items of trash have accumulated in the sludge: paper receipts, plastic lids, etc.

Only idiots thought that a human shaped robot would be the way to operate a vacuum cleaner. The human shape is particularly unsuitable for many tasks. That today's idiots think a human shaped robot is the way to build cars (or any other such activity) only goes to show how little we have learned

An image of an actual robot vacuum cleaner that is a disc shaped object just a few centimetres in height, and therefore much more efficient than any human shaped robot

Yes, the bullshit theory is the most likely The purpose of a little war is to try out new weapons and to find out what the other side has in its arsenal, or what it is capable of Example: the Serbs shooting down a stealth bomber in 1999

As I’ve said a million times, I’m not particularly against smart uses of AI This is the stupidest use I’ve seen yet though

$recent Axios story on maternal health policy referenced "findings" that a majority of people trusted their doctors and nurses. On the surface, there's nothing unusual about that. What wasn't originally mentioned, however, was that these findings were made up. Clicking through the links revealed (as did a subsequent editor's note and clarification by Axios) that the public opinion poll was a computer simulation run by the artificial intelligence start-up Aaru. No people were involved in the creation of these opinions. The practice Aaru used is called silicon sampling, and it's suddenly everywhere. The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing. Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use A.I. agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.$

Back in 2021, Nick Timothy wrote this for the Telegraph. There's a man, if ever I saw one, whose entire political philosophy seems to have been plagiarised from the picture on the box of one of those nostalgia jigsaw puzzles.

England is the mother of parliaments. It is the land of Shakespeare and
Dickens, Elgar and Holst, the Beatles and Stones, the Cotswolds and
Cumbrian hills, London and Liverpool, Oxford and Cambridge. It is
Stonehenge and St Paul's, football and cricket, the local church and
village pub, Isaac Newton and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

It is cream teas and Cheddar cheese, a pint of bitter and a cup of tea,
farms and factories, honest coppers and straight judges. It is the Wars of
the Roses and the Reformation, Roundheads and Cavaliers, rebellions
and strikes, Industrial Revolution and a Glorious Revolution. It is the
home of Magna Carta, Locke and Burke, Churchill and Attlee, and long
lines of kings and queens.

And, of course, it is about so much more. Certain places and stories will
matter more to some than others. Some stories are of failure not success,
and some are embellished and spun. But that does not matter: what
matters is they are all identifiably English, and they inspire us to be the
best we can be. From philosophy to science, inventions to the arts,
English culture is rich with significance. It is needlessly destructive to
ignore, denigrate or misrepresent it
