The European Commission uses ChatGPT outputs in public documents.

@iccl.bsky.social has filed a complaint to the European Ombudsman as this use likely violates Commission's own guidelines and its obligation under EU treaties

Its a universal problem with nearly everything in the center and on the left. And the fact Mamdani doesn't do this is why he seems so impressive.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

There’s no point rushing to judgment about the arson attack until Miriam O’Callaghan asks Simon Harris if the arson attack, while not condoned, might be justified by legitimate concerns.

It annoys me no end that bluffers and grifters like Yates get fat contracts from Irish broadcasters and media outlets, but genuinely talented, hard-working, ethically-honest journalists don't get as much as a look-in.
I bet Matt is an puc ar buile.

It's hilarious that FF thought Ivan was the solution to Jim's debating, after Ivan shouting Qs at leaders during GE19 debate.

No wonder Jim went on the attack in the debates (to no avail).
Broadcaster Ivan Yates will no longer present a political podcast with Matt Cooper after it emerged that Mr Yates had not disclosed his work advising Fianna Fáil during the Presidential Election

I am going to lose my fucking mind!

One more time:

THE REASON THERE WERE A LOT OF SPOILED VOTES IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONCERTED ORGANISED CAMPAIGN BY BAD ACTORS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO…

(YOU GUESSED IT!)

SPOIL THEIR FUCKING VOTES

It wasn’t organic! Now shut up and stop being enragingly thick
A total of 213,738 people spoiled their vote in the recent Presidential Election, and questions remain as to why so many people chose to do so, writes Juliette Gash.
Size of spoiled vote the elephant in the room of election

If you’re out here wringing your hands writing articles about why a bloke who thinks immigrants get free cars wrote “cunt” on his ballot paper, instead of writing articles about the well funded fascists who ran a campaign aimed at that guy, then you have no business pretending to be a journalist

I’m really looking forward to this conversation coming to Ireland. Single women are happier, healthier, have more friends, and live longer than women in relationships.

Single men do worse on every measurable metric.

Every time a pundit says ‘woke’ they should be asked to define it. On the spot before anyone can move on with the discussion. Every single time
David Quinn (who else) on Brendan O'Connor show now, dominating the discussion. FG rep says we need to connect with young people. DQ says you need to connect with people like me, he says FG 'too woke'.

Can see where this narrative is heading.
