The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

Every so often, my brain comes up with a solution to losing all my Unbound royalties. But it’s always “People like your stuff. Make something cool. Ask them to pay for it.” Then I realise I already did that, and that was the money Unbound stole. I bet lots of authors are in the same hole.

Folks, there will be a break in the frequent Cammo Tower pictures. I crashed badly on a pothole on Cammo Walk, nearly died. Saved by my bicycle helmet. Thanks to the kind folks who looked after me and called an ambulance. #cammo #edinburgh #cyclecommuting

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

I have long suspected the eventual fight will come down to either killing copyright or killing the tech industry. If copyright wins, you're potentially looking at $25k per infringement. If AI wins, you're looking at the collapse of copyright and IP, which means the collapse of creative industries.

17 years on, the Tories still paint the £45 billion bailout of RBS as a once in a lifetime economic disaster that proves Gordon Brown was a terrible PM. Brexit costs just as much every 19 months. Tories spent last week demanding we keep it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud. Laws against the rich are not always enforced. Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers. It is class war

“I agree with Nick.” Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again? Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.

Labour promised to restore nature. ❌ Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

It’s precisely because Brexiters howl about betraying fish and talk shit about sovereignty/immigration and our media amplifies their nonsense, that govt is trapped by fear, unable to freely negotiate in our best interests in case Farage/Daily Mail have a meltdown. Beyond time for the goddam truth.
