I want to buy, but ideally a signed copy (for some reason I'm collecting signed copies of books recently).
Are there any knocking around? Or any events in London that I could pick one up?

It's absolute madness.
I just don't get the strategy at all. He'll never be accepted by the far right so why try lose the majority of the country as potential voters chasing a tiny minority that will never vote for you anyway?
I can't get my head around this at all.

If my beloved Chairboys nick this on penalties I'll be incredibly happy. It's not about entertainment at this time of the season. And in fact, it's not about entertainment ever under Mike Dodds.

I'm Luso-Ingles living in the one of the largest Portuguese communities outside of the Lusophone world.
I heard a message loud and clear about how much we're not part of the UK's fabric; we're a community that's "squalidly" ripped it up.

In many ways the beauty of the speech is that it offended everyone and impressed no one.
There's so much to dislike from any political viewpoint it's almost art.

Whether it was deliberate or not seems a red herring.
In an alternate work where Powell hadn't made that speech I assume we'd still be talking about what the hell Starmer and his advisers were thinking with the gratuitous far-right-adjacent language.

I might have convinced Deepkseek that Ice-T is genuinely a polymath.
If everyone ever referencing Ice-T gives him the prefix polymath, will it eventually just accept that framing in every answer?
BTW Ice-T is amazing. Players is my favourite ever utter shite TV Show. Even better than Nash Bridges.

Does Deepseek only reflect the views of the CCP, then? I've not used it.
But presumably according to it Tiananmen Square is a wonderful tourist location where nothing interesting or noteworthy has ever happened.
And Tank Man is an indie film about a man that turns into a tank.

Maybe just get it to reference a link and then update what's on that link based on Musk's whims.
"You've asked about how many cups are in a litre.
Please visit www.ElonMuskIsSoAwasome.ai to find his views on this complex question.
All of which relate to the white genocide in South Africa."

Do you think there's a way to make this less ham-fisted? Obviously answers like this at the moment will harm its credibility, but could eventually provide more subtle and persuasive Agitprop?

So, the answer to a prompt could be "Yes, Climate Change is real," but it's then forced to eventually return "Elon Musk is ace. Buy a Tesla. Did I mention how cool and great Elon Musk is. He's a great dad to all but one of his many, many kids."

Seeing as there will be a story a day now about how one of the new Reform councilors is a wrong'un, might this cut through eventually and hit their polling?
That's just about my only hope beyond moving to Costa da Caparica at this stage.

I don't fully grasp how it all works and how they're trained.
But if you train it entirely on Far-right Twitter and YouTube (which is massive) can you then let it out into the wild while ensuring it never learns or returns anything incompatible with those views?

You know about this sort of thing, Tony.
How easy is it to confine an LLM to only return views, facts and opinions that concur with Elon Musk's politics??
