Arriving into Dublin Airport to see a recruitment advertisement for social care workers. These are the very people whose families the new Irish immigration policy seeks to tear apart. Not to mention the cruel irony of using photos of kids as promo.

In Untitled (Buffalos) (1988-89), David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) framed a portion of a diorama depicting a traditional Native American hunting method as an allegory of the decade as he was dying of AIDS.

This is a hell of a statement on the massive cost of #AI infrastructure from JPMorgan. For comparison, the entire German economy is ~$5tn, which is about 1/5 of the entire Euro economy. on.ft.com/3JwN1pw

Well done @atsukocomedy.bsky.social for highlighting how the “you can’t say anything anymore!”comedians (as she rightly terms them) agreed to being censored in order to perform in Riyadh. (She turned it down when asked 👏👏). #shillinforsaudi

Have I got this right? #Nvidia is investing in #OpenAI so OpenAI can use the cash to buy - you guessed it - … more Nvidia chips. No hype cycle here at all! Nope, absolutely not!!

Even by Labour’s low standards, Yvette Cooper’s dehumanising rhetoric of warehousing people in “industrial sites” is truly shocking. Cooper’s authoritarian leaning supporting Reform to go even further.

Many congratulations to Ken on the release of his new book, “The Learner’s Apprentice: AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity”. The book’s aim is to encourage children to program with a GenAI chatbot as a supportive partner!

So, you know Irish wines are a thing, right?

Another nail in the coffin for international law. Let’s see if they even bother to arrest Min Aung Hlaing. (Note: #ICC doesn’t agree with France’s argument re: Netanyahu.)
