The exchanges between Adam and ChatGPT are devastating. This, in my mind, is the worst one.
One of his last messages was a photo of the noose hung in his bedroom closet, asking if it was "good." ChatGPT offered a technical analysis of the set up and told him it 'could potentially suspend a human."

“Dumb people used the tool I built to do terrible and stupid things, so it’s not my fault” has never been an adequate excuse.

The absence of any coherent response can only mean that, in some way that is incomprehensible, the government has decided that it benefits most from saying nothing.
I have not heard anything at all from government ministers nor the opposition nor many media outlets about the dangers of this epidemic of sweeping casual racism. It is sometimes seen as comical - as with Rupert Lowe and the rowers - but it is dangerous and dehumanising

The BBC has now apologised for the Jenrick criticism in Thought for the Day, and edited it out. Remember, free speech means the right can say something people consider xenophobic, but nobody is allowed to label it as such

it's the 10 year anniversary of a very important study
![In 2015, researchers Limb, Limb, Limb and Limb found that British doctors have surnames related to their specialties more often than expected by chance. Reproductive medicine had the largest proportion, with 1 in 52 doctors having specialty-relevant surnames including Horn, Hussey, and Woodcock. Second was Urology, with 1 in 59 related names such as Burns, Waterfall, Ball, and Koch.[96] "Dr Pain" appeared most commonly in general surgery.[96]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiddq3sctguxn4xgf4mfxyu43qh7e2htev3iktz5siwagfpdswfy3q@jpeg)
