Open AI is losing money hand over fist. So is Anthropic. The emperor truly has no clothes. That is the real reason they are delaying new model releases and IPOs. Nothing to do with safety concerns.

Am in tears listening to the Glastonbury ‘94 version of “Are We Here” from the newly released Orbital recording of that seminal appearance. Sadly it came one year too early for my own Glasto -going. Very envious of anyone who witnessed it and this awe inspiring tune. “What does god say?” indeed!

For a righteous, bloodied but unbowed style post punk take on life in Trump’s U.S in 2026 I can highly recommend the new protomartyr album. For a completely fucked up Wolf Eyes go IDM take on post punk in 2026 I can highly recommend the new Gilla Band. Both are excellent, in their own ways

Meta-Muse is a neat encapsulation of everything that’s wrong with big tech, from the idea that an an AI could be your companion to the banality of making it ‘cute’right through to Matt Bellamy just giving up 20 years worth of social handles to enable its incorrectly chosen name. The era of stupid

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates. We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.

A quote from Rachel Millward, Deputy Leader of the Green Party. It reads, "Reform is a vessel for the super wealthy. They will always act in the interests of the super wealthy. Labour could have stopped this years ago by capping donations. Burnham promised to do it then backtracked. Will he now admit this was a mistake? Burnham and Labour have been quiet on a donations cap for the last 24 hours. The public needs to know where he stands."
