This must be a very rare instance of a centrist being honest.

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

An old centrist/conservative trope is "Name a country where socialism has ever worked"
An easy answer is various countries in south and central America. Only for the CIA strangle them in their birth, or not too far into their development...

Trump's defamation suite against the BBC, whatever happens, is going to end up with reasons to hate the BBC even more. It's not like they're going to go "fuck you". Instead they'll capitulate even further, dilute their journalism even more, kill any opportunity for voices on the left to be heard...

What conservatives mean when they say they are "under attack for their views" is that they are being accurately understood as the sort of people who hold the sort of views conservatives hold, and that makes them afraid they will be treated the way conservatives treat those whose views they scorn.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

There are British people in prison who have been hospitalised after being on hunger strike - if it was for anything other than the Palestinian cause it would be front page news. As it is, no media outlet is even slightly interested.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the situation is in the UK. There are eight people on hunger strike and David Lammy recently claimed he wasn’t even aware of it. That hunger strikers may actually die is barely even news.
