You do feel like you're living in a parallel reality when you read stuff like this
Empirically, McSweeney isn't a brilliant strategist because No.10 keeps making major strategic errors. What paint are these people huffing to maintain this delusion?

Okay guys. First of all, this isn’t a chatbot
If we’re going to do reporting like this, we need to at least be vaguely accurate in what we’re describing
I’m as much an AI skeptic as anyone, but these tools are good at synthesising large data sets – this is a sensible use of it

Absolutely blatant copyright infringement (in this case of Animal Crossing) among the slop dumped onto the PlayStation Store
Sony really needs to get a handle on its vetting process

I'm not even sure I buy the article's initial framing. Everyone I spoke to at the time – and this included a lot of 'normie' voters –thought Labour were lying when they said "no tax increases on working people"!

Similarly here; the choice to 'reward' high-skilled labour falls on the companies who seek to hire them
It is entirely their fault if they've relied too heavily on brand prestige to secure workers who they're underpaying and overworking

Take this comment, for example. For the majority of workers, an opportunity which pays too poorly to live on is the equivalent of no opportunity at all

Take two of the suggestions here:
1) The Tories spent years promising to gut the civil service, then failed to do so because they realised the headcount was needed
2) You cannot lead a productivity drive without tackling the root causes – which Westminster ignore because they’re expensive

Some good deals from @maxtani.bsky.social here on the Times/de Blasio mess
In particular, an example of a problem we’re seeing broadly across both British and US journalism: Allowing political bias to overtake editorial rigour, and handing incompetent individuals senior roles

If you’re a journalist out here sending ‘support’ to a fellow hack after he called for an MP to be deported, you’re also a disgrace, and a contributor to this toxic culture you all spend so much time lamenting
Take a long, hard look at yourselves and who you associate with

Embarrassing and childish behaviour here; all, no doubt, just to generate some engagement and a few extra clicks
It really is a bad sign that so many more senior journalists are willing to debase themselves in this way online. It’s time to grow up and show some professionalism again

Obviously the below is a key factor, but some of the moves we've seen – Merck in particular – do feel rather extreme and self-defeating over something that, if taken on its face, is resolvable
