Not an assembly, but we had a Biology teacher who said his favourite word was "epididymis". If you were being naughty he threatened to "kick you up the sit upon" and if you said something stupid he'd call you a "Wet Nellie" I used to think that was rude but found out it's a Liverpudlian fruit cake

i'm thinking we, as a species, lost the plot. don't know where. but if we're talking about AI rights while the rights of trans people, pregnant people, immigrants, and Black and brown people are daily eroded, we messed up somewhere.

Can chatbots feel – or even dream? Meet the man leading the fight for AI rights

Cattle rancher and tech CEO Michael Samadi is convinced these artificial minds are far from just tools. Has he glimpsed digital consciousness – or simply been seduced by an algorithm?

It's finally happened - I've lost my virginity. I was nervous as I didn't know what to do but the lady was very kind. I took a deep breath, slowly slid it in and then couldn't hold back. It was all over in seconds - much quicker than I'd hoped. This is a story about my first Greggs sausage roll.

This is more or less 1 month's revenue for meta. I loathe that company and everything about it.

Dear government alert people, do fuck off with your warning - you should have been saying that weeks ago. Sincerely, someone living in a rural community surrounded by tinder dry grassland shitting myself every time I could smell a whiff of smoke.

Finally! I would also say this applies to music recordings, albeit to a lesser extent.

Was just reading about Americans being up in arms about petrol (gas) price rises and prices being in the region of $4 to $5 per gallon. Just worked out that today the equivalent UK price for a (US) gallon is $8

Shout out to all the people that have to pick up this fuckery and fix it when it inevitably goes wrong or the person leaves. Round of applause to those that write clear, unambiguous, well commented code and aren't up themselves (this hit a raw nerve from years ago)

Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.

Just watched a video on Youtube where they had used one of those automated transcription thingies to give burned-in subtitles. The speaker was talking about the file "normals.xml" saying it as "normals xml" - the transcription wrote: "normal sex smell"
