I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

The hard part about doing propaganda is that the past changes so quickly you have no idea what will happen yesterday

Preach 🙌
GenAI is just a gigantic dopamine slot machine providing instant gratification to people who don't want to put in any work or thought at all. It gives them the dopamine rush of feeling like they made something, but now instead of being addicted to farming simulator, they're running actual farms.

There is precisely zero coincidence in the correlation between the rise of populist far right movements across Europe and Russia's disinformation war on the West via bot networks

Putin is invading more than Ukraine
The new battlefield is online, and the stakes are democratic sovereignty.

🔴 Remember the £330million contract given to Trump donor Peter Thiel's firm Palantir to build an NHS data platform?
Well we've found out that most English hospitals aren't using it - because it's not very good

It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years.
It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.

I’m not saying Trump is a Russian asset or traitor…
Installed to inflict maximum damage to America and the west
But if he were, what would he be doing differently to what he is now?

It wasn't mentioned in the Chancellor's speech, but the Spring Statement papers contain a major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals, probably the toughest ever introduced.
