ok maybe I'm a bit dumb but isn't anaemia an iron deficiency? Iron being a key component of haemoglobin, the pigment in red blood cells that carries oxygen? Whereas platelets are the colourless little goobers involved in blood clotting? Why would iron deficiency do anything to your platelets?

... y la noticia viene con una foto de Imane Khalif, una mujer cis a la que un puñado de reaccionarios Británicos "acusaron" de ser trans en una caza de brujas durante los Juegos Olímpicos de París.

La persona responsable de elegir esa foto merece ser catapultada al núcleo del sol.

Ich habe nie einen Menschen gesehen auf den der Name "Carsten" besser passt. Dieser Typ ist der carstenste Carsten der je rumgecarstend hat.

Selbst die Brille schreit CARSTEN.

I used to prefer it when she wrote columns in the Guardian about walking her dogs on Hampstead Heath or whatever

Hang on wasn't there a HUGE OUTRAGE that lasted for MONTHS because Johnson was caught on camera not remembrancing patriotically enough because he wasn't bellowing the national anthem at opera singer volume

oh no wait that was Corbyn lol

the man is very busy and has a huge workload, he probably doesn't have the time to dig into the source of every quote he posts

so they could turn the restored "Lost Gardens" into a tourist attraction and charge a whopping TWENTY EIGHT QUID entrance fee for plebs to come and wander around in enchantment (and then spend even more money in the on site gift shop and tea room)

until they had the idea of pretending they had just accidentally stumbled across these mysterious overgrown fairytale magical "lost gardens" right next to their fucking giant country house to bamboozle a whole bunch of hippie dipshits into restoring the gardens for them ***for free***
November 8, 2025 at 11:46 AM
the sculpture is cool but the "Lost Gardens of Heligan" were never fucking lost - the name was made up by a bunch of broke arse aristo cunts who couldn't afford to maintain their humongous park so it fell into disrepair

The dude in that cover photo looks like a tired bank employee dragging his decrepit arse through his final months before retirement though. I can see how out of touch he is with us hot young things even without my reading glasses.
November 8, 2025 at 10:34 AM
I'm in my late 40s and am beginning to think of reading glasses as valid accessories for hot young things

mmm-hmm

What is it with that peculiarly shiny ruddy cheeked toddler face all the old white dudes seem to develop in British Politics? Is it the subsidized claret in the House of Commons? Or is it the asbestos
November 8, 2025 at 10:12 AM
well clearly you're a man with great integrity and strength of character, willing to self reflect with honest transparency, and take accountability in response to valid critical feedback

a lesser man would have just deleted the post to avoid looking bad

I am angry and impressed in equal measure at this pun and I am totally stealing it.

Also:

1. The person using the screen reader DOESN'T KNOW that in this case, the image you posted contains the same quote you put in your post. They just know there's an image you didn't bother to make accessible for them.

2. You don't use ALT text on ANY images you post - sometimes it's graphs.

Yikes, dude.

I prefer to go to my critically thinking tarot reader, thanks

Of course it did - this shouldn't be surprising after three years of these slop producing plagiarism machines flooding the internet with shit.

These so called hallucinations are literally how LLMs work. They produce plausible looking word combinations. They do NOT parse MEANING.
November 7, 2025 at 8:28 AM
they CANNOT include the option of "I don't know" because, repeat it loudly for those in the back, LLMs are probability machines that cannot know ANYTHING

they are text simulators - they don't understand meaning!!!
November 7, 2025 at 8:25 AM
for the love of dog, this is not because of "bad training data" - these so-called hallucinations are baked in to how these models work

they produce a simulacrum of human language - they cannot understand meaning or check facts

literally the entirety of the text they produce is "hallucinated"
