It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

Nick McCabe is one of the best guitarists the UK has ever produced and the main reason why The Verve were such a great band. Without him they'd have been peddling sub-Travis tripe. Just look at Richard Ashcroft's solo career for the proof.

The latest batshit internet scandal is men accusing women of “lying” when stating a preference for Ollie Murs’ before pic.

Preach @edzitron.com !

"Generative AI is a financial, ecological and social time bomb, and I believe that it's fundamentally damaging the relationship between the tech industry and society, while also shining a glaring, blinding light on the disconnection between the powerful and regular people."
Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all.

Female colleagues should never be expected to share changing facilities with male colleagues regardless of how they identify. It's wrong, and unlawful.

But that's what happened to Sandie Peggie, a nurse working for NHS Fife. Today's Observer column.

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex
Can someone explain it to me like I'm stupid?
