The situation internally in that company is so bad that Elon now “will focus” on it again, so the quantity and quality of the lies will go back up. Remember, it’s a meme stock not a car company

Call me an old bitter cynic but deep learning conferences in 2025 have a lot of the ‘UBS Stamford trading floor 2008’ vibe. ( Good luck though to @fedeadolfi.bsky.social whose skeet I’m riffing on, you’ll be fine 💪)

3 envelopes on Trumps desk, each containing a list of names. Post-it notes lightly attach to each: ‘Pope’ ‘Fed chair’ ‘Secdef, top secret 😂’ A gust of wind blows through an open window, the post-its are scattered on the floor. Only Elons 14th child sees, he replaces them in the order he sees fit

In the latest issue of Private Eye (thanks to a friend for sharing) - "So farewell then, Science in Action..." Wishing I could tell EJ Thribb that reports of the programme's demise are premature, but that may depend on support from outside the BBC. ☹️
