Lisa Nandy: "Lots of my constituents worry about coming off PIP & into work because its so hard.. to get back onto it" Except PIP isn't related to employment & plenty of disabled people on PIP do work. Nandy just told a bare faced lie.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Striking that Fry was a friend who genuinely tried to give JKR the benefit of the doubt--like we're always being told to do--but in the end was like "ew, no". In some ways, that's a more persuasive testimony than someone who naturally disagreed from the get go. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/step...

And that's why LLMs often present "NATO expansion" as a reasonable, even leading explanation of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Not because it's right or consistent with the facts, but because a ton of accounts are parroting Mearsheimer's contrarian/light-on-facts take and Ru propaganda.

1. The Tories knighted Kier Starmer for his work as Head of CPS in prosecuting grooming gangs. 2. Tories had 14 years to instigate an inquiry. 3. Starmer had instigated a rapid review AND instigated an inquiry in 10 months. 4. Grooming gangs are all Kier Starmer’s fault says Badenoch. 5. FFS.

Opponents of the radical right often use - I'd argue, with some success - the argument that their opponents are a threat to democracy. But this argument is largely absent in Britain. Farage is a racist, he is incompetent, he's pro-Russia, but he's almost never portrayed as anti-democratic. (1)

Long but worth the read to counter the nonsense spewed by Reform and many Tories about active travel. I particularly like the wording: "Do you want people with double buggies or in wheelchairs to be able to use pavements safely, as opposed to banning pavement parking?": road.cc/content/news...

Just watched ep. 8 of Andor. Filmed in 2023, but plot revolving around the Empire sending stormtroopers to a city, deliberately provoking demonstrations, and then ensuring that violence ensues as an excuse for imposing military rule/occupation doesn't exactly look subtle right now..

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.
