Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

These clowns want regulation? Give it to them. Make every action taken by an LLM the legal responsibility of the person who prompted that LLM, it's not hard. They keep telling us it's a tool we have to adapt to, this is how tool use works, legally speaking. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm old enough to remember when the state had plenty of enforcement power, holding cells, and casual police violence to spare on people who showed support of dangerous terrorist organisations like Palestine Action or Just Stop Oil. What has happened to this once-great country?

If I put on a balaclava and stream it on Facebook am I allowed to attempt murder of far-right thugs over my legitimate concern that the country is being overrun by fascist traitors, or is this a privilege only extended to a subset of the population in some kind of two-tier policing situation?

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

100% agree with this. Require funding only from membership fees, each party only allowed one tier of membership open to all, no gifts, and have the public purse fund some activity directly, not through disbursement. And ban from all politics for life anyone found violating funding rules even once.

If you want an insight on my general feelings about the state of modern capitalism: I went to buy a train ticket and the fare had jumped up by about 50%... and that just seemed like a normal thing that happens. (I'd left "1 adult, 1 child" selected from planning a trip with my son at the weekend.)

If you're in government watching criminal-led blackshirt thugs in balaclavas wage war on the RNLI and you're hedging your bets because you're not sure who the majority of the country will side with, why do you even want to be in government? Why would you WANT to lead people you think so little of?

So, if I understand Nigel Farage's argument correctly it is: "Everyone I trusted and elevated into a position of responsibility is constantly doing crimes that benefit me but of which I somehow have no knowledge. I am a man with the character, judgement, and intelligence to run the country." Ok.

The internet was absolutely a mistake but this is one of like five admissible pieces of evidence that it’s good actually
What I'm doing with my life
sometimes sheets can be propped up to be a cave but other times they lie flat like a ground. why is that
I'm looking for
• poposable thumbs
• Tall as counter
• Understanding of locks
• Warms
The first things people usually notice about me i am small enough to use pieces of furniture in different ways that are surprising to humans eg edge of the bed is actually a tiny step for me to use like a borrower
The six things I could never do without cold chickens, heated chickens, small dry pellet chickkens, chickens from a can with picture of cat on it, chickens from the sea (also in can but missing cat picutre on can), chicken from larger animals like beef
The most private thing I'm willing to admit iwill climb on top of you in the night and settle like a tiny rain cloud
