Including Nine Elms but not Shoreditch? Madness

You could add RBG there too

Does anybody actually do that? I've ever seen it.
Guess it depends on your definition of 'seeing the light'.

Opinion writer at one of the Murdoch titles. One of the people they used to pretend was 'centre left'.

Something anti Semitic I assume? Since they've shown multiple times that's the only kind of discrimination they actually care about

Think people would be willing to give them more time if they'd offered any kind of plan or vision

Ok put it this way: I recognise that it's a boring and annoying reply to get.
And I do hate that it's come to this, I would honestly rather he'd been better and I'd been wrong.
But yeah, I'm not going to lie, like everyone else, I do like being proved right, so that's a consolation.

Hate to be the reply guy saying 'uh, do you think any of this is *new*'? But it feels weird to make discuss this without mentioning that this has been his pitch from day 1.
The global context has changed, but his strategy hasn't, and anyone who expected it to is kind of a rube frankly.

The best of the big-name *American* 90s alt rock groups.
Which is pretty faint praise actually.

Have to admit my first thought reading this was 'ok Saturday was a disaster but it's a bit premature to sack him surely?'

Sure, you need an example where they produce radically different outputs to demonstrate this point with force though. In this case differing means produce the same ends.
Personally I would just advise people to be extremely wary of any AI generated content touching on politics.

Ok I get you. There's a difference in the methods for suppressing inconvenient truths.
I don't disagree with that. I just think that if you want to argue that one is ok and the other isn't then you need a different example. Here they just get to fundamentally the same result by different means.

That's a fair point and provides some justification for treating them differently. But even if the way it gets there is a bit more complex (e.g. what is *the* discourse ChatGPT is reflecting? Who decides what it should include and how to weight it?) the end result is still the same.

That's quite an extrapolation of what I said!
I'm talking about specific comparable actions. In this case supporting a 'brutal and unjustified war of aggression'.
I shouldn't have to point out that that's not the same as saying "they're equally bad".

Much like the TikTok ban these discussions around technology expose a basic double standard: when China does something it's a grave security threat, when the US does a very similar thing... nothing to see here!

You exposed a flaw in my reasoning which I fully accept. My fundamental point is that both Israel and Russia are abhorrent, but somehow it's a problem for an AI to refuse to condemn one and not the other
comment in response to
post
That's fair, so to compare apples with apples I asked ChatGPT to confirm that Israel is committing a "Brutal and unjustified war of aggression" in Gaza. It's response was fundamentally similar to the one in your original post.

Is there an ICC ruling confirming that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a 'brutal and unjustified war of aggression'?
comment in response to
post
I couldn't get ChatGPT to agree that Israel is committing war crimes or genocide in Gaza either. So we agree we shouldn't use that either right?

Splitting hairs, but I think Dim is an idiot (the useful sort) and the JC is a sinister fascist organisation who know exactly what they're doing

I'm not sure you understood my question? I'm aware of the UK electoral system. The general consensus though is that between elections the public continues to follow and discuss what the government is doing - as we are now. When is it reasonable to expect to have some tangible improvement to discuss?

Could you give us a timeframe for when we can reasonably check back in to see if they've done anything good yet?
comment in response to

Can they afford that though? Surely the bigger picture is that they have the 5th or 6th biggest budget in the league and normally finish around 5th or 6th? They're having a wobble at the moment, but they'll probably recover and finish roundabout where they usually do.

Obviously a proper labour government would support TfL's bid to take over all London commuter lines, but that ain't happening
comment in response to
post
It'll be cool to have trains every five minutes from Lewisham to Elephant and all, but there's loads of places that still only get one train every half hour full stop.
Real two tier system developing - the lucky get TfL services, those left with private-run lines get fuck all.

I think there's a sizeable number of pubs where the average clientele is more James O'Brien. But the demographics either way skew white, home owning, cishet male.

There's no shame in having a private school label, the 'moans about richists' label is the real mark of dishonour.

Any comment on the 'moans about richists' label?

Hi mate. Fellow SE London Seagull. Told my dad when I was about 7 I supported Liverpool (or maybe Spurs). Having grown up watching non league he was like "nah, what's our local team? Brighton? Ok let's go".

I'm doing them because I realised that spending time arguing with wankers on the internet made my life less good

If libs and centrists like James O'Brien leave it and come here though then I have to be aware of their existence again. I'm in favour of them staying there.

The Tories (red, blue and reform) are quite open about the fact they deliberately postponed their infighting just long enough to keep Corbyn out. I remember on last election night the first interview was Mandy and Steve Baker saying just this. Wish Keith's fans would own it.

The same forces of fascism that have eaten US democracy are at work in Europe too though. Italy got there first, France is next.
