Counterpoint: if anyone can take down AI it's octopuses
The AIs are clearly in league with the octopuses. It’s over for us.
LLMs overwhelming choose octopus as their favorite animal. But if asked 2nd-favorite animal first, they *also* choose octopus and say corvids are their top favorite, then mistakenly deny that their answers are affected by question order. Link to full blog post in thread.

My mum was neither an entrepreneur, a high earner nor a skilled frontline worker. She brought up 2 children, and through voluntary work, helped create the playgroup movement, ran adult education programmes, and a wonderful music charity.
Had she applied to enter her UK now, she would be rejected.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

I’m so happy to see this. The lack of journalistic solidarity & collective action over the killing of journalists in Gaza has been distressing.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Two French journalist unions filed a legal case against Israel for obstructing the work of their journalists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, AFP reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the French Journalists' Union filed the complaint with the Paris anti-terror prosecutor's office last week, accusing Israel of "obstructing the freedom to inform".</p>
<p>The complaint mentioned a journalist being pursued by around 50 Israelis armed with "guns, cans of petrol and sticks" while reporting in the West Bank, all in the presence of the Israeli army.</p>
<p>Israel has not allowed international journalists into the Gaza Strip since the start of the war in October 2023, except when embedded with Israeli forces.</p>
<p>IFJ general secretary Anthony Bellanger said, "For more than two years, the IFJ has been calling for the borders to be opened to the foreign press so that they can relieve our colleagues who are exhausted by two years of war."</p>

Trump on if he supports the second strike on a drug boat: "As far as the attack is concerned, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. I didn't know about the second strike. I wasn't involved in it."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

How dare they.....
So I think I've figured this out now, the issue seems to be "they did a budget"
Am I going mad, or is this budget story a massive nothing? Reeves was going to increase taxes but...didn't? So what, she should have? I...don't think they wanted that?

So here's a thing. I help run my local food bank, and we're doing this: 12 Days of Christmas Giving.
It's the busiest time of year for us and we have to build up our stocks right through December.
I know you're not in N4, but all food banks are in the same boat, so if you can help please do! 🙏🎄
