There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

What a great day that was
#OtD 10 Nov 2010 50k students and supporters marched in London against the tripling of university fees and the abolition of EMA grants. Breaking away from the official demo, 1000s of people occupied and trashed the governing Tory HQ at Millbank stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8238...

Famously, houses that are lived in by the owner rather than a tenant will vanish into a puff of smoke. Happens all the time
Surely there are some better arguments on the pro landlordism side of the debate than implying that if a landlord doesn't own the house, the house ceases to exist??

I’d rather be let down by the Green Party actually *trying* to make our lives better because at least you could say they’ll have a go. We’ve been let down by Labour deliberately & intentionally making life in Britain harder & making crap excuses for punitive political choices

This might have been true 20 years ago. Unfortunately it is no longer the case. As the people whose actual memories of war have died, we've replaced sombre remembrance with fascist purity tests and crass celebrations of violence.
One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Amazing how often ‘fighting for women’s rights’ involves allying yourself with known perpetrators of violence and/or harassment against women.

One of my mum’s friends is facing redundancy because her employer cannot afford to maintain current staffing levels due to NI hikes making the staff wage bill unmanageable. Her partner is disabled, and has just had his PIP stopped. So Labour are changing their lives by making them terrified & skint.
As a Safety manager in the NHS, Labour is most likely making me redundant, and I could lose my house. Making NHS patients less safe in the process.

I think if people are going to get a dog that they propose to take for walks in densely populated areas then there should be some sort of rule that they can’t get a dog that is very clearly bigger or stronger than they are

Sam Altman is committing corporate manslaughter. OpenAI is horrific and dangerous & it should be forcibly shut down immediately with Altman himself fired into the sun
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Luke himself of course going down like a cup of cold sick in North Durham, where people not unreasonably assumed they were voting for a Labour Party person given the red rosette but are now discovering they are represented by one of the most reprehensible pieces of shit in the entire party

As Keir Starmer heads for Brazil, his government is failing to meet the challenge of global heating – so we’re taking legal action.

I'm just going to create a bucket of people for whom whenever they make reference to 'Zohran Mamdani's antisemitism' etc., you can confidently sub in 'my own Islamophobia' and get a better picture of what's actually going on. BHL is right down at the bottom of that bucket.
The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to
