Look, if the wings are on, in roughly the right places, that’ll do - send ‘em.

Amazing game that one (I was there); went on to win with 12 men, with a spectacular try from Jonathon Davies. He wasn’t that bad for a Union convert 😉

ELIZA, but with the internet as a dictionary.

We're no meaningfully closer to AGI than in 1950 (except in the sense that we're 'closer' to intergalactic travel). We have almost no idea how biological intelligence works, but can be extremely confident it's not by gradient descent curve-fitting. Stock prices depend on believing AGI drivel.

Monopoly that (at least in their minds) is too much trouble to let fail. So let the type of useless executives (who spend their careers failing upwards across our vital industries) fleece everyone. It’s how Britain works - a self-sustaining circle of entitled pricks in charge. (Post Office anyone?)

League has done the same to a large extent. We lost so many things that commentators describe as “this isn’t want fans want to see” which are in fact exactly what fans want to see.

Obscenely rich bloke turns out to be a dick. Incredible, that never usually happens.

I’d rather watch St. Helens, which is barely one level above pulling my toenails out with pliers.

The twattiest thing you can do is be the first one in the street to put your bin out, but deliberately choose the wrong colour. Oh the carnage. Essentially how I intend to spend my retirement.

Yee, haw! Make Weather Great Again. Build a (really tall) wall to stop that bad foreign weather getting in.

The worst mistake the centre and left made was “listening to concerns about immigration”. It just legitimatised bullshit. It’s like thinking you could have stopped Hitler by “listening to his concerns about Jews”. The bullshit needed standing up to from the start.

I’ve been to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios a few times - also a very cool place.

The same mistake typically happens if we order a salad for me and a burger for my wife. Although to be fair, it might be “he looks like the fat one” stereotyping.

They can’t “own the libs” if the libs just ignore them, so they’ll get bored and move onto something else, like eating crayons.

Have you tried switching the USA off and back on again?

Apparently the oldest joke ever found written down (on papyrus or carved or something, thousands of years ago) was about hairdressing. It still sort of works today which I find amazing (maybe I shouldn’t): barber: “how would you like your hair cut?”, client: “in silence.”

And we still need to train radiologists, despite the nonsense spouted by clowns lauded as “gurus”.

It’s a better song (just) - we actually studied it in secondary school music!

They must be blind - it’s obvious you’re not Lancastrian.

The direction of travel is Deform having the leverage for Farridge to run whatever chimera they mash together for the next election. The only upside is that it might force Labour to work with LibDems and offer a rejoin referendum in next parliament.

Same with Midget Gems. The black ones don’t taste like inner-tube anymore. World’s gone soft.

Almost thirty years since I used SPSS (and first time since then I recall ever hearing about it again).

They have short lives, so maybe not enough time to get really sad. It’s probably quite lucky for us, because they’re insanely intelligent but don’t have enough time to build up knowledge - they’d probably have enslaved us by now otherwise.

Harrison Ford once rented a canal boat in North Wales (true story). With hindsight it was clearly an advance operation to capture Britain’s waterways for the USA.

He doesn’t really need a higher clearance because Trump will give him everything anyway, then pardon himself.

We can obviously think, for example, that Ronaldo’s pay seems obscene, but it does have one thing going for it that you can’t say about these execs: you can’t actually blag being good at sport and just keep failing upwards, getting jobs because your mates say you’re good.

It’s the shareholders, but in these large industries it’s also the executives ripping us off. A merry-go round of sitting on each others’ remuneration committees, declaring that they’re only paying the market rate for such “talent”. Very little talent at all, because it’s not a meritocracy. (1/2)

Playing League back in the 90s, whole team summoned by ref to be told that next player who swears is getting sent off. Followed by “so all of you, cut it out, it’s a f**king disgrace”.

Not the (dung-)hill to die on. This is all a load of confected outrage. Not a single “family farm” is getting destroyed because of this entirely fair change.

They’re only worried because grifters have filled their heads with false information. It’s pathetic.

Well done to Starmer and Reeves standing up to this endless muck-spreading. I hope they stick it out and ignore this shower of misinformation all over the media.

Strange thing about this site: not EVERY SINGLE prison sentence is compared to Huw Edwards’. I thought it was a compulsory part of the legal process. 🤔

I had one, and paired it with a larger monochrome (well mono-green) external monitor, and a double disk drive from a Commodore Pet at home. It was incredibly heavy.

Every knows it’s caused by Jeremy Corbyn illegally jailing Tommy Robinson.

Could broaden LLMs to AI in general. It’s all curve-fitting. We can do loads of cool stuff with curve-fitting, but we can’t (for example) stop training radiologists anytime in the next 50 years.
