Yet everyone uses Open AI, Anthopic, Google, Microsoft whilst my new Android is literally listening constantly on the microphone. Many cars, including European ones, ship with hidden GSM trackers containing who knows what. Then Tesla? Who trusts them for a second?

The EU are trying to kill independent game developers via regulation which looks like it was written by the large American publishers (the EU Kids Act). www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQRc...

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.

European policymakers in 2022: "We can't phaseout combustion engine vehicles! We are green but someone has to produce polluting cars for the backward Chinese!" In 2026: "Please put some tariffs on those Chinese EVs, they are selling too many in Europe!"

I built a version of this on my C64 and the adults I tried it on had exactly the same reaction as modern LLM fans do to their chatbots.

The Onion have resurrected Jim Haggerty and turned him into a right-wing podcast host dunking on Rogan, Info-Wars, Lex Friedman et al and it's pure genius 🤣

The entire world is inviting Ukraine to respond in the same manner. Enough with the virtue signaling from the Western world, with its unicorns and rainbows. ruzzia is a cancer that must be eradicated, just as the nazis were.

We do realise that the technology of this site allows an insanely good implementation of Soviet "Ministry of Truth" - rewriting reality live and even personalising it - and that that is the motivation for this change? Expose everyone to slop, normalise it, then slowly change reality...

It's logical when they make money through increasing wealth disparity. The history books are clear on the end game there. Plus climate change. The big question is, why are "we the people" letting them get away with it?

Why are we handing the super-rich an extra €18,400,000,000 a year bonus? We need that money to pay for the military who protect their assets, if anything we should be asking them to pay for the extra military spending.

Work IT just sent out an email saying “Stop clicking on web ads and pop ups” with info about fake download/error buttons, etc. I (not-IT) want to just tell them “You either deploy adblockers or you deploy malware” but will probably have to find a gentler way to do so.

Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, David Cameron. Ed Davey is better than them by every single measure. Theresa May, Kier Starmer. Both are harder than Ed, however on most other areas and on the balance, Ed is a far better choice. My only complaint is that I think the LDs need more ambition.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.
Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

This kind of cross synthesis, it's expected, it's cool and it's the power of this tech combined with millions spent on having very very smart people use them. Sucks for the "Uber but for dogs" kind of innovation but that's something we'll need reforms to deal with (patents etc).

Look this is all fine, it's a proportionate response to 7/10; the Israeli's only had a few weeks notice about that attack so there was nothing they could do to stop it. And the hostages, you can't expect Ben to accept the Qatar deal to free them can you? His hands were tied.
