traitors is a social experiment for getting together arbitrary groups of british people and asking who they find suspicious, and unsurprisingly the answer is racist as hell

glad not to be on twitter but i had somehow tricked a lot more people into following me there so when I announce the thing I've been working on later this month I'd really appreciate if you all punched above your weight

"AI does not exist due to a good faith attempt to create a boon for the public, which has simply failed in this objective. It exists as an attempt to create… this, the exact situation we're describing; the largest bubble of hype for a single unpopular technology ever seen on Earth."
In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.
On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.

This is quite an important point; if you are a UK citizen with Twitter on your phone, opening it up is like playing Russian roulette that the algorithm might commit a strict liability offence on your behalf.
Has everyone whose scroll the illegal image appeared on also committed an offence by downloading it? This is one of those AI worst case scenarios that ought to make everyone aware of the current direction of travel.

at the point I left twitter, I was getting unsolicited porn in reply to all my posts. now it can generate porn based on photos. it's not even about the moral imperative to leave, it's that i personally do not ever want to see nonconsensual/underage sexual images and on twitter that seems inevitable

undoing a bunch of the horrific shit leftover from previous administrations is such a low bar for politicians, yet one labour + democrats repeatedly fail. refreshing to see Mamdani show that this is Day 1 shit
Mamdani went straight to work.
He revoked all executive orders signed by former mayor Eric Adams that were signed after his criminal indictment in September 2024.
