Absolutely mugged off by the Barclays app earlier.

‘The American Revolution’ on iPlayer is very good. Ken Burns innit. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The American Revolution

A story 250 years in the making. How 13 British colonies on the Atlantic coast rose up in rebellion, won their independence and gave birth to a new nation.

When Zuckerburg says '...centralized power stifles human potential' does he realise that Meta AI is a centralised power? His AI currently can't rid FB of self-harm content and proven conspiracy lies, why would I trust it to manage my healthcare or shopping? www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Opinion | The AI Future Is for Everyone

The history of democracy and economics has proved that centralized power stifles human potential.

The fact those images of migrants moving from one North African location, crossing a border into another, yet has inflamed the UK immigration ’debate’ tells you all you need to know about the motivations and goals of those just asking questions.

Make it more palatable then. It’s called capitalism.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

*I use my iPad as a mask and instruct ChatGPT* My wife is talking about her work colleagues, please interact with her, make no mistakes.

I hope Spain wipe the floor with them.

Does this mean Sepp Blatter can reapply for the FIFA job and all is forgiven?

I thought shamelessness peaked with BoJo and Trump, then Sepp Blatter pipes up.

I’m also putting a team together

I mean, AI ain’t even leaving a decent Amazon or Goodreads review. Surely these AI Gods could pay it forward just a touch with an AI vid on BookTok. Lazy Leeching Motherfuckers.

Well this sucks. Turns out that almost every track that I released was used to train AI without my permission. They were ripped from YouTube along with 12 million other works. How long are we going to allow this theft as a society?

Had to rewind. This is so funny

Watching some world cup program and it's some people that I think are brits and an American doing a round table and the American said James corden was a full kit wanker and the Brits just stopped everything with their jaws dropped like he just called him a slur on live

Ambitious warning sign.

Sewage discharges at Worthing. No rain in weeks. Today should be a sunny, half-term at the seaside. Crippling Director fines or prison. This is outrageous.

My novel placing at the top of the best sellers list is “95% done.” The remaining 5% is focused on actually selling copies in significant numbers.

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

These AI images are on a realistic BBC clone, linked on the Independent site via a Taboola ad which targeted my location. The accuracy of this clone is impressive, but if you're wondering why your Uncle Frank hates small boats even though he lives in the Midlands, this may be part of the problem.

At least we're allowing the coach drivers to wear PPE now. #progress

Surely Gemini could’ve put a report together and make no mistakes?

Google developers significantly misstate carbon emissions of proposed UK datacentres

Why has The Guardian done Attenborough like the next Hannibal Lector?

Independent coffee shops - stock pastries! I don’t want a slice of Victoria Sponge for breakfast.

Eden (Netflix UK) is worth a watch, if you’re dreading the endless searching for a film this weekend. Went into it knowing nothing and kept avoiding as it had a good cast but I never heard of it. Interesting characters, intriguing story, good acting, based on true events.

Hopefully JD Vance will be coaching the French or Spanish teams at the World Cup this summer.

How this guy was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize baffles me. Calm, measured serenity, and orange gunk just oozes out of this guy.

I like Bluesky but this is where it’s failing me, there are only 5 trending topics and only one of them could vaguely be of UK interest. There should be a wealth of avenues for me to go down but I just stick to ‘Discover’.

What happened in 2015 to cause this much of a radical increase in the use of 'bollocks'? #procrastinating

Just finished 'Arrested Development'. The first 3 series are so good, clever writing, funny characters, funny lines, funny stories. Well worth delving into on Netflix UK. My next lunchtime comedy watch is the 'Yes, Minister' DVD boxset I completely forgot about.

I thought this Farage/Cameo story was satisfied last year or so when he did one saying ‘Up the RA’ then claimed he didn’t know anything about the phrase after positioning himself as an Oracle on NI, border security, customs union, Windsor framework, etc.

Attacking Reform for Tice’s statement to pay as little tax as possible, is weak as shit. Who wants to pay more tax? Tax fraud is a whole other ball game.

On the I-couldn’t-give-a-shit scale, this issue is up there. Leave the woke nonsense to the snowflakes, Ed.

Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡

Nigel Farage’s history of spurious election fraud allegations. 2014: Farage claims voting fraud happening “on a third world scale”, no evidence found. 2015: South Thanet elections, Farage fraud allegations dismissed.
