Had exactly this experience recently. Someone used a generative fully-automatic bullshit generator to produce a plausible solution to a problem which looked initially plausible, with citations. When I followed up on those citations, I found that the claimed solution did not, in fact, exist.

And politically stupid, too. Alienates core vote (& they do have places to go) in pursuit of votes he'll rarely get, & demolishes his core policy agenda of growth, making his re-election more unlikely. Even those (inc. me) willing to cut him a lot of slack feel betrayed. A truly awful day for UK.

My interview with @iandunt.bsky.social on how the UK government got to be so bad. It's not individuals but bad incentives and bad systems that make effective governance impossible. We run through the UK's many institutional absurdities and how to fix them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yfo...

Given that we now really really do seem to have multiparty politics in this country, wouldn't it be great if our voting system reflected that? STV ASAP, plz
