Just tried to inform. #TFL there's a hole in their tube fence where yobs get in to vandalise trains. "You are 5th in the queue" 15 mins later it's answered "I'll put you through to the street team" "You are 4th in the queue" Life's too short.

BT takes over Talk Talk. It appears these PE firms look for companies with government contracts, take them over, load them with debt and then walk away knowing the gvt., or one of its associates, will pick up the tab. Privatise the profit. Socialise the loss. Burnham, get off your arse and sort it.

Had the misfortune to listen to Shiela Fogharty on LBC. Woman called in, told us she was o the left of politicis, hated Nigel Farage. She even had a go at the right-wing press..... then started trottong out the same Farage-esque lines about immigration. No challenge from SF, obvs.

My concern is that the GOP are removed, but there are no trials. We get "Now is a time for unity, Forgive, forget & move on". The DNC fearing trials will show what an absolute farce the US political, judicial, economic & social systems have become and they lose their gravy-train.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” We are so fucked.....
Trump claims 'sick conspiracy' over calls for more guardrails on AI companies

Donald Trump has claimed there is a “SICK conspiracy” against artificial intelligence and data centers in response to the growing calls for greater checks on AI development.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, insisting that the administration has stopped leaders of AI companies from “doing bad, or potentially bad” things. However, he didn’t point to any concrete examples for how he has curbed possible abuse or malfeasance in the industry.

The president said over the weekend that the AI arms race is of the upmost importance to the US national security. “Whoever wins AI wins,” he told reporters on a visit to Ireland, before repeating it on social media today. Trump also chided Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, who we noted earlier has called to slow down AI’s advancement to ensure public safety. This comes after company whistleblowers claimed that the technology has the potential to “kill all of humanity” within the decade.

Trump accused Amodei of “now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’”, and claimed that the administration has “tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies”.

The president added:

    There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China … We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!

Trump: I'd love to see a unified Ireland

Trump has weighed in on the question of Irish unity, saying he would “love to see it unified” and predicting that a united Ireland is “going to happen eventually”.

He suggested it “may as well happen now” and appeared to cast Micheál Martin as the person to help make it happen.

He said:

    Well, I don’t want to cause any problems, but I will tell you I’d love to see it unified.

    I have friends on both sides, great people. They’re Irish people. How can they be bad, right?

    I’d love to see it unified. I think it would be a great feather in everybody’s cap if that happened. It’s going to happen eventually.

    You know what? The way I look at it, it’s going to happen eventually. It may as well happen now.

    We’re talking about it and you got the right man over here to get it moving.

    But, yeah, I think it would be a fantastic thing.

    Now the UK will have something to say about it, obviously. But I think it would be a great thing. I mean, how can it be bad?”

Remembered this from the 70s....
The Changes [1975]
This weird British sci-fi show depicted a society suddenly gripped by an irrational hatred of technology. When a mysterious noise makes people violently reject and destroy all machinery, Britain basically reverts to the Dark Ages where even mentioning technology becomes taboo. Through the eyes of a kid who discovers the source is some strange rock formation, The Changes gave us a surprisingly forward-thinking look at our complicated relationship with technology. The show basically asked kids: what would we lose, and maybe gain, if we ditched all our tech dependencies? A relevant question for today’s smartphone-addicted world, right? What really stood out was how the show didn’t pull any punches in showing mob mentality and societal breakdown, pretty intense stuff for the after-school crowd.
