i'm fascinated by how much people love and are amazed by chat gpt saying "nice catch!" and "great observation!" because i personally find the condescension and obsequiousness the most skin-crawling thing about how LLMs "talk"
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

If the Government won't record the deaths die in our hostile asylum system, we cannot save future lives.
And it sends the appalling message that the deaths of people seeking sanctuary don't matter.
Every death is a tragedy. We must #KnowTheirNames

My thoughts and the thoughts of people across Wales, are with all those affected by the terrible events at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
This appalling violence is utterly unacceptable - acts of hatred and terror will never be justified.

Whatever the grievance, whatever the story you tell yourself, you don’t get to pick strangers and turn them into targets.
We grieve with the families. We stand with the shattered communities.
To attack one innocent person is to attack all of us.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

In the last few months, we've seen conversations about #ViolenceAgainstWomenAndGirls hijacked by an anti-migrant agenda that spreads myths and harms survivors.
All women and girls deserve for us to confront the reality of VAWG, so we can pave the way in ending it.

Total insanity. Deeply illiberal and authoritarian. Snatching people who look different off the street on the off chance they might be illegal. Does Philips realise that this is the language of tyranny?

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.
