Someone really needs to stage a revival of RUR and invite Musk to the opening night.
ELON MUSK: “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.” Read the full piece from @aarianmarshall.bsky.social on @wired.com www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He’s Building

The Times Higher - surely still unique in being a trade paper that seems to hate the industry about which it writes. Why not shut down all the fucking universities and turn the staff and students in batteries for Sam Altman's data centres?
Why are universities still teaching referencing styles?
In the digital era, inserting a reference into a text is as easy as pressing control-K. So why do universities still insist on troubling students with the minutiae of traditional referencing styles th...

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the sloths, for today is their special day!

Coming soon on @thepolisbox.bsky.social or Strictly, this bollox in McCoy's pullover defends the politics of Nation, Haisman and Lincoln, or bitches about wokeness and RTD.
The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

Is it an irrational hatred when the people for whom you have an apparent irrational hatred (past reason hatred) are, in fact, utter cunts?

Come BBC or which ever streamer is circling: snap up Hinchcliffe and Whittaker while they're both interested.

Who doesn't want a season of Whittaker doing 'Gothic' horror and dark humour?

If anything, this is more disturbing than in the recent episode of @thepolisbox.bsky.social

Looks like it's anti-university day in The Times.

(I know, everyday is anti-university day in The Times, but today seems extra anti).

With apologies to @danielrawnsley.bsky.social - all that work and didn't even watch the whole episode - and to the @thepolisbox.bsky.social for tanking the episode (again).

And too anyone disturbed by the transformation.

But Halloween Apocalypse is hard to hate, or to get too enthusiastic about.

It is a bit like the Cowardly Lion, but with an irrational hatred of Halloween.
Still half-convinced I dreamed this.

New microphone and my sound is still bad. You can also see the moment Cam decides it's jumped the (dog) shark.

It's probably not a break down.

All that money thrown at Meta AI and they come up with a shitty Alexa... that doesn't have a clue.
