Tom Irwin @tomi.eurosky.social · 08/10/2026Bloody brilliant. I don't hate Churchill, but because I'm not a total plank I'm able to acknowledge that for all his virtues, the man had flaws. All people do, so treating them like irreproachable gods on notes and statues is weird. Never met a bee, puffin, or owl anyone had a problem with. 280 8

Tom Irwin @tomi.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026I must admit I don't know who any of those people are (I don't follow AI news that closely), but my ears did prick up when he was referred to I think as the original 'effective altruist' - a term I mostly associate with wacky crypto people like SBF. Thanks for the pointer, will look more closely. 110 1
Tom Irwin @tomi.eurosky.social · 06/10/2026Insightful and horrifying AI discussion on @gideonrachman.bsky.social's latest pod.
