Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I don't think I've once had Windows do the "shut down" part of "Update and shut down". It's always "and reboot back to the login screen". And we expect this company to make an AI that doesn't lie?

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

My prize copy arrived yesterday! And it's excellent, carrying over the informative humour of the Map Men YouTube channel, with the added benefit of physical maps to look at in front of you. Been sneaking in reads when the children are busy, but not yet found the word "slide"...

Explaining to my children that I'm tired out and in a different t-shirt because I spent time bouncing around the living room with Just Dance, trying to relive the glory days of Dance Central with Kinect, forgetting I'm now nearly 39, not 25.

So with @plante.bsky.social on @simonparkin.bsky.social's podcast this week, and @jasonschreier.bsky.social on Chris', I think Jason needs to at least mention Simon on Triple Click this week to complete the circle.

I enjoyed making the LEGO Game Boy but I'm particularly impressed by the attention to detail, including the power switch at the top and the feel of the buttons. Luckily enough to still have my Game Boy from 1994 for comparison.

Thought I'd give this a quick go over my post-school drop-off coffee and lost an hour to it. Like a Saturday morning cartoon of old, but with lots of great comedians and also... smut... in that most British humour sort of way (honest).
WAIT WHAT'S THIS?
