Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop.

Reality Check
I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

Thinking about some streming reviews I’ve read lately:
Sometimes I want to say to critics, “Y’all get down in the trenches and try doing this some of this shit. Then listen to some asshole tell you everything you did wrong.”

Sick of every single news article that isn’t hard news making reference to ‘Adolesence’. While it shines light on some truths and explores a subject that hasn’t really been given much airtime before, it is NOT the greatest show ever made.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

That’s quite a cover. Even the Daily Hiel knows the vast majority of Brits were disgusted by what the world witnessed. It could however be a turning point.
This is an indication of the kind of political consensus that can be built if Labour makes the right case for breaking its red lines: Uniting right wing concerns about defence & patriotism, left-wing demands for investment & independence from the US, and widely-shared commitments to Ukraine.

Until you've led your nation against a brutal invasion for three years, until you've witnessed the aftermath of war crimes in your towns, until you've met thousands of bereaved families of soldiers - you don't get to criticise Zelensky for not sitting silently while Trump and Vance parroted Putin.

Apple vows to deal with an issue causing their phones to autocorrect 'racist' to 'Trump'. A spokesperson said the issue is "a bug on tool-displaying words that have 'phonetic overlap' before the 'intended word' is identified, which includes words with the 'r' sound". Sure it is
