How a subeditor was tricked into disregarding reality.

Link to a mystery Sounds thing. Text reads How an AI was tricked into breaking its own rules [sic]

Poorly sick right now, but still managed to get something achieved today.

A bound notebook, photographed close in, standing upright on a wooden table. The book is angled so we can see that on both its spine and front is printed, black on white stickers, 1st Oct '25 + 4th Oct '26. The spine has written on it also "BJ1". In gold lettering on the cover are the words "BULLET PLANNER".

Strong "lie detector" energy to this:

Guardian clipping that reads:

Sampson, who is now a non-executive director of Facewatch, a company that operates facial recognition systems in shops, added: "We know the technology works, but using it in supermarkets to deter shoplifters and prevent attacks on staff is very different from deploying it to catch people on a public transport network.

"Success in a shop means no such people coming in. Success for the police trying to catch people means people being caught. In that respect the trial doesn't appear to have been very fruitful.

Here are contemporaneous illustrators saying "no."

This album art for made-up band Blue Jeans Committee is a really specific reference isn't it? I swear I recognise it as being something in my parents long-gone vinyl collection but can't find it.

A record slid two thirds of the way out of an album sleeve. On the album sleeve is a dandelion clock, mostly complete, with a few of its seeds floating top right of it, all on a blurred green background. Text in the top right reads Blue Jeans Committee. There is additional text in the lower right corner, but too small to read.

Hope they're on token-based billing.

A news cap that reads:

Three 16- year-olds from India developed Plas Stick, a biodegradable powder made from tamarind seeds that helps remove foron thang them the 2026 Earth Prize.

You'd think after all that service they'd finally let him eat one.

A skeet from WeRateDogs accompanied by three photos of a blue-eyed dog named Bear, who is gorgeous.

The skeet reads "This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10"

Really? Is MS AI moving away from LLMs, then? Co-pilot currently advertising suggesting it can help with accounting, but the terms and conditions say it's an entertainment product that should not be used for anything where accuracy is important. AI boosters are piss car futurists.

News cap. "Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months - for all white-collar work to be automated by AI".

This looks like one of those awful "hanging out with my younger self" AI slop videos.

Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer in navy blue jackets sat outside somewhere looking pensive.

Makes a change from pulling out of his sofa, I guess.

White Hart Lane Sainsbury's still has the discontinued 1.2 Clean Co G for sale. Can't quite tell if the best before date is for 2017 or 2021. Can tell it has weird little bits floating in it.

A Sainsbury's Shelf with one bottle of 0.0 Clean Co G (yum) and a number of bottles of 1.2 Clean Co G. Price info on the shelf only refers to the 0.0.

A close shot of a bottle of the 1.2 showing printing that reads BBE17122111 354-20357-2A.

Seriously. How is this guy not in the middle of explaining how, actually, he wasn't ripped off when he bought his fake Gucci trainers actually because actually they're all made in the same factory actually.
