Gemini 2.5 Pro is trying to repeatedly gaslight me into thinking that a Youtube video about Claude Sonnet 4.5 is actually a video about Super Mario Bros. Seems to be a bug with their "Temporary chat" feature where it randomly picks a different video each time you paste in the same link. #LLMs #AI

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end.

Open call for all AI agent developers: please stop relying so heavily on insecure bash tools and flawed wildcarding. We're in the era of prompt injection (thanks @simonwillison.net for covering this), and while this isn't quite the same as Simon's lethal trifecta, it's still dangerous.

Want to stop Reform? There are council by-elections every week, and it only takes a handful of people to swing them by getting the word out.

It’s easier than you think, we are the majority.

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks.
Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them.
Read the f*ing room.
More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.
