I hate the term "radical left" so much. Like that used to mean stringing up landlords not "thinks healthcare is good"

There is no middle ground with the kind of people who attack the RNLI. We don’t need to ‘listen’ to them. We need to tell them where to go.

Horses of the 57th Landwehr Infantry Regiment literally sinking into the muddy streets on the Eastern Front, 1918. You read accounts of this happening, but it's rare to see actual photographs of it.

Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes. When the ask is to have a back up power source for the field wireless (which otherwise requires massive, heavy batteries), then this is the result. Two soldiers were needed to generate the 150 - 200+ watts required. #ww1 #warhistory #innovation #cycling

I've seen a lot of "advice to writers on how to counter accusations of AI." Let me remind you: the onus is on the accuser to prove the accusation. Most accusers aren't detecting AI. They're detecting the source material used to train AI. Our voices were stolen. Do not fall into this trap.

A plea to any war bores in the south west of England - is anyone likely to be near the Plymouth Naval Memorial in the next few weeks who could (try to) photograph a name for me? Leading Seaman Timothy McCarthy, RNR, SS Narragansett. He's on panel 23, and I'd be extremely grateful! 🙏

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Managed to hit the wrong button on first repost 🤦‍♀️short answer: absolutely not. LLMs are never going to be able to replace the work of historians. They can't interpret data, they can only give a best guess based on probability. And the majority of records aren't digitised.

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

The direct result of telling posh white women that maybe they had privilege was transphobia - they had to find a group that was "opressing" them so they could be the underdog again. Absolutely no surprise they're also seguing into racism, it's the same ego-driven self-centring behaviour.

Uninterested in leading a pile-on but no, AI does not “have access” to everything ever published. Not archival material, obviously, but not secondary material either. Nor across times nor languages. AI is not human knowledge personified. It’s exactly not that, in fact. It’s not even a search engine.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.
