Could be true, especially if shooter was right-wing accellerationist or anti-Kirk troll who wanted to stir the pot.
Newish here. Reminds me a lot of old tw*tt*r. South London. Corporate IT gimp. Bad musician. Run a bit š.

Eh, my first thought was either an accellerationist or otherwise someone that he'd pissed off on his side. FWIW never followed closely enough to know that they hated him, thankfully.
He died doing something that he loved.
#2 I read it when it came out. Horrific.
That report is completely insane tbh.
Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station. The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.
Joking about someone being threatened with sexual assault. That's a fantastic look, mate.
Some decent policies, some absolutely disasterous ones, and an all-round sleazy fuck. However the whole Ken Starr thing was rampant hypocrisy from the Repubs so yeah. No-one looked good there.
Used to cycle around the time that the TFL hire bikes were first available and that was carnage. Happiuly working from home so avoiding this week's nonsense.
There are some people who have an amazing ability to just not age. I swear that I know some folks who look just about identical to when I first met them 25+ years back. Others I barely recognise. Funny old world. (I'm relatively lucky myself. On the outside. On the inside tho... :/ )
And Microsoft owning their collective asses, sorry, assets.
He'd hate it and the thought amused me. Nothing else!
Plus he needs to have his balls annihilated by a butch lesbian with an orbital sander.
Ackman. The next-dumbest guy after Musk to demonstrate the point that billionaires have to be smart.
I have had... several pints while watching death metal nonsense. Also ran 15 miles earlier and need to do similar tomorrow. Still have beer. Not a good/sane look.
Yup. Kristol is a horrible bastard who's finding out about the shit that he promoted.
You enabled this shit from the Republican party. Own it.
And Bill Kristol is an enabler. Prick. Dog that caught the car.
So noncing on the government payroll. Standard.
Not had that but did do a 3-jab course for rabies at the beginning of the year. 1st was fine, 2 and 3? Fuuuuck that.
Carl of Swindon. Fuck that guy.
*laughs in Boston Dynamics*
More-or-less functional public transport and traffic safety laws are probably the reason tbh.
Nooo, RIP.
It's been an on-going theme from the US. Or, alternatively, trained foreign militias to do the murdering. Funny how many people haven't taken that on-board. And, as a Brit, I am in no way excusing our record.
Why is Sam Wolfson?
Define "AI" first. FWIW What is being *sold* as AI is a scam, and there's no way that it can do what it's pushers claim. LLMs are interesting for sure but greatest scientific advancement? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANO.
= "We force you to use AI tools but still blame you for mistakes" Cool, cool.
Oooh, I do like a good trade war! /s
D:
Is this median voter in the room with you now?
You remember the BSE epidemic 25-odd years back where millions of farm animals in the UK were shot & burned as they'd picked up prions after eating feed made of other ground-up farm animals? That.
There's no way for them to stop it from making shit up. It's what LLMs do! They model language not evaluate sources for truth.
Asshat's at it again.
Yeah, got classed as terrorists after putting red paint on a RAF jet. 1) Such a security failure by the RAF. 2) That was not terrorism by any sensible definition of the word. Criminal? Yes. Not the same.
Interestingly, the flag shaggers who are painting roundabouts fit the "forcing change of behaviour through threat or use of violence" definition of terrorism far better than Palestine Action ever have.
Aye. Best keep it that way. Although tldr is semi-famous comedy writer ***still*** posting through losing wife & kids due to his own obsessive transphobic behaviour.
Big "she turned the weans against us" energy.
Not the OP bit this book looks great. Thanks!
Yep. Language has been a primary target of invading empires for millenia. It's a culture's backbone. Cultural homogonisation via mass communication has really accellerated change (hello USA, and yes, you *are* an empire in all bar name. Well, hegemony maybe!).
That sounds suspiciously like retconning to me!
She couldn't figure out how to chain herself to Twitter's front door properly so #2 kind of out of the question anyway.
Forbidden chilled meats.
It looks like it was GL just being arrested. Not kicking off. 5 plod? As it seems the arrest was over a possible assault that does track too.
FWIW the last time I saw plod deal with a guy kicking off 2 cars & a van turned up, so ~6 officers. (Residential area a bit outside Lewisham, SE London)
In, apparently, an airport. Where kicking off is famously tolerated.
If someone was kicking off then 5x plod seems around normal tbh.
Pint of Ribena + mug of tea = standard on my desk when working from home!
Low energy. Sad.
I was last there well before GPS and found that my usual UK method of "get somewhere close then look out for signs" failed miserably! Same for my attempts once getting out of town in Sydney, Aus.
TBH I didn't get that about US interstates round LA - signage seemed to only be for immediate local destinations so you really needed to know where you were going. Re: UK distances. I don't know, I just feel that our roads, incl motorways , aren't designed for long-distance travel.
Well aware of that show even if I didn't really follow it!
That's the fun thing about the UK. The amount of effort it takes to drive long distances is just, well, annoyingly high. Our road system isn't exactly user-friendly! Mainland Europe, Aus, US all easier to do distance (from my limited experience).
Yeah, they would have arrived well into rationing so I have no doubt that the local food was not great then. And rationing lasted into the 50s so food was a problem for most Brits for well over a decade. Admittedly there's a long-held temptation to boil everything but at least that's on the wane!
Less widespread whitening & aesthetic surgery here than in the US too, I think.
I dunno, there are some terrible Indian take-outs in London...
Yeah, when you load a card into a phone's wallet you basically get a 'virtual' card with a completely different number linked back to the original account. Very sensible approach but obvs TfL won't know that they're on the same account.
True, but if you phone them up they'll sort it out. TfL are used to people making mistakes like this!
What I think wound people up about the latest incident was that they were factually wrong. As a Brit I'll agree that *some* of our food has been terrible, although *all* being awful is a push now! (My mum grew up with WW2 & post-war shortages. Food in that period suuuucked.)
No, cooking chicken like that is Indian I think.
Yup, invented in Scotland 50 years ago and practically the British national dish now. Ya dingus.
Oh, that guy. People in v extended social circle knew him >20 years ago. Persona non grata even then.
Old ladies have had decades of experience dealing with annoying children. This can approximate a superpower at times!
Not "no effort" but deliberate.
Not pandering to bigots would help tbh.
flexibility even in death
Because that ended so well
Nationalise SpaceX as they do some useful stuff. Audit the living fuck out of Tesla, though, and rinse them for every violation of anything.
Audit Tesla. Nationalise SpaceX.
200 is pretty good for general purpose as long as you have decent light, flash, or a tripod for longer exposures.
Too late, DOGE already did.
Strongly disagree for a number of reasons here (including knowing a victim of online grooming's parents) so will stop here. I am also very not a "let the market decide" libertarian so have various thoughts about that side of it too!
Right, OK, sort of see what you mean now. I'd be interested to see how to approach putting "product that tells minors to kill themselves" through the system...
Eh, it may be an issue where his product has been touted in public as having certain capabilities (eg digital companion) but was then found to be telling minors how to kill themselves. OpenAI maybe shouldn't make a product that does that. (FWIW I do think this is a product safety issue, YMMV)
I kinda don't think it's a 1A decision even then, as you are giving protection to a non-sentient gibbering magic 8-ball. Can a non-sentient gibbering 8-ball actually have *speech*? Agree that precedence could be dangerous/restrictive. Could also be dangerous other way re: AI liabilities.
I 100% agree. They are literally bullshit machines with no method of being able to discern truth from falsity. Where I have the issue is: Just because the output is words, not something else, why can it be given protection (1A)? It's NOT sentient, as you say (as do copyright decisions). Ugh.
Regular programmers can walk through their code and map the logic out. Old school chatbots, etc. You can't do that with LLMs. The huge amount of processes interacting with training data & inputs kinda nopes that. You can't point to some code and say "x programmer caused y." *bangs head*
Actions tied to the output of an algorithm which processes inputs, then. Which is literally a decision. We have decision trees and stuff. Or choice, maybe. AI is an interesting case, though, as it is impossible to predict what it's "choice" will be, unlike a normal algorithm. ->
OK, cool, got it thanks.
As a nerd I see absolutely no difference ***in theory***. "Decisions" are being made by probabalistically-driven machines. Aware that direct & indirect action are different. And that I may be a bit polarised in my opinion!
Because intent? I'm trying to work out where intent, speech, and automated bullshit sits. Does - or even should - 1A even cover a probabalistic bullshit generator? This all makes my head hurt.
Correction: And just for fun, is grooming a minor a 1A issue as GPT victim was one? I have no idea what will pan out.
And just for fun, is grooming a minor a 1A issue as GPT was one? Or is GPT not fit for *whatever* purpose so can be sued civilly? IANAL, just a computer nerd, but this is all a headache. Also AGI is a dead-end. LLMs are highly unlikely to be the correct path so digital sentience is irrelevant.
Well yes, which is why I said Canada. If you want other AI issues, Tesla are fighting in *US* court against their AI driving killing people. I know that these are not 1A, but more about how AI is treated legally. If Tesla are liable, will not OpenAI be liable for their AI? ->
Canada had this: www.bbc.co.uk/travel/artic...
Question: is grooming a minor a free speech issue?
A serious case of map not equalling terrain from our lad there....
Many years ago I dated a lady from Norn Iron, Scottish proddie descent. She classed herself as both Irish* + British and had some hair-raising stories about growing up! (She hated Paisley et al but would sing Rangers songs when drunk. Complicated upbringing.) * Others would.... strongly disagree.
They should have called you... CNN: Ken, what is your opinion blah blah Ken: ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
"Forgive?" Interesting phrasing.
Palestine Action vandalise public property with red paint and got labeled a terrorist organisation, racists vandalise public property with red paint and oh.
Of course not. NEXT
OG Star Trek was massively transgressive. Racially at least. Not sure about the later stuff
That's the thing. Software is not what you develop. It's what users do to it.
Will massive amphetamine use plus excess cholesterol do?
Love Ken. There's some stuff that I've ***very much*** disagreed with him about but he rocks.
Ok that looks awesome.
