At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

I want every ICE agent identified & shunned for the rest of their lives by civil society. I want people to cross the street when they approach. I want restaurants to refuse them service. I want their families to think twice about being seen with them. I want them to die alone & sad.

‘Pretty devastating’ paper raises doubts about race to reach stage of AI at which systems match human intelligence
Apple researchers have found “fundamental limitations” in cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, in a paper raising doubts about the technology industry’s race to develop ever more powerful systems.
Apple claimed in a paper published at the weekend that large reasoning models (LRMs) – an advanced form of AI – faced a “complete accuracy collapse” when presented with highly complex problems. Continue reading...

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"
