Sometimes you see an artefact where myth, magic & reality all seem to converge… Behold, the Iron Age Torrs Pony Cap; pulled from a Scottish bog in the 19thC & dating to the 3rdC BC, the horns were still attached when found. Chariot ponies knew they were cool. National Museum Scotland #FindsFriday
Decorated bronze pony cap with long, slender curving horns

I think they're a bit hasty just canning all these programmes. They could maybe consider amalgamating two shows together to save some money? Would I Lie About Who You Think You Are… Richard Osmans House of Games Through Time… Race Across the Gardeners World… Antiques World's Most Dangerous Roadshow…
Screenshot of BBC article about the BBC's money worries. Shot of Laura K – looking concerned and furrowed like she does – talking to the DG (who you won't recognise) among some red seats for some reason. Text reads: The BBC should go "in different ways to reach audiences and we're locked into yesterday's model of how people consume content, and actually the audience is always already living in tomorrow's world", he said.

In recent months, the BBC has announced a series of closures of jobs and programmes including Blankety Blank, Celebrity Mastermind, Live At The Apollo and Football Focus, and further cuts are expected.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

15 September 1944 | A Polish man Edward Galiński and a Jewish woman Mala Zimetbaum - two prisoners who fell in love & escaped the camp in June 1944 - were executed by hanging at the #Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp.
Black and white portrait of Mala Zimetbaum, smiling and wearing a knitted sweater.
A mugshot registration photograph from Auschwitz. A man with a shaved head wearing a striped uniform photographed in three positions (profile and front with bare head and a photo with a slightly turned head with a hat on). The prisoner number is visible on a marking board on the left.
Text description of a historical document discussing Edward Galinski and Mala Zimetbaum, who were executed for an escape attempt from Birkenau on September 15, 1944. The document provides a detailed account of their planning, capture, and execution, and mentions the involvement of various individuals and locations associated with the event.
