If the 8th in line for the throne can be held accountable for their actions it makes you wonder who else can be, even if it takes some time. There are plenty of people who hide behind their privilege, wealth or power - hopefully they'll be looking over their shoulders wondering if they are next.

The use of large language models to generate text about health or rewrite content written by clinically trained people is utterly insane. The general population simply doesn't understand the technology, it's limitations and how dangerous trusting it blindly is. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

This is a truly disgusting story. It never ceases to amaze to how some people choose to spend their time and money.

“It broke my heart, that was my savings towards a new car,” one woman who paid Milne tens of thousands of pounds told us. “He has just wiped me out.” Who is Andrew Milne - the solicitor sending "very aggressive" letters to Sheffield homeowners? www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/a-london-law...

I can guarantee you are NOT ready for what is going on behind this bland façade in Schöneberg, Berlin, but take a look anyway. The enormous top-floor apartment is on sale for 2.3 million yo-yos, and it is described by the realtor as a "one-off". Uh-huh.

Apparently my credit score has gone down because I switched energy provider - which is saving me money. Their recommendation to improve it? Get a credit card. Yeah thanks.

Even simple searches on Google are polluted with rubbish pretend content/features these days. Why on earth would I care about these similar searches.

Going well so far.

Confidence Man at The Octagon, Sheffield last night.

They’ve released the Christmas Discourse Schedule! Lots to look forward to this year.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It really is like early Twitter here, although I preferred the fail whale.
