Isn’t this the same AI detector that offered its services to hachette and started that whole pile on about that potentially AI-edited book?
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoThough Pangram is one of many A.I. detectors that have hit the market in recent years, the product stands out for how it excels at distinguishing chatbot-generated words from human writing, our columnist Brian X. Chen writes. Here’s what you need to know about how it works.
To get the high street that boomers want, you'd basically have to have the local council own/run them and the mere suggestion would produce a media tantrum about Stalinism you would not believe

The moral panic is so focussed on how the internet and social media is damaging children, but no one wants to have the discussion about how it is damaging fully grown adults, parents, grandparents.

There could be a world where AI chat bots are a safe space to explore kinks without shame and provide real joy and catharsis for curious people. Obviously we don’t like in that world but I think its the best use case for chatbots I’ve heard
Playboy@playboy.com · 2mo agoFor users with taboo desires, AI sexbots can promise freedom from shame—or it might go haywire and kink shame. Are robots ready for our kink? The answer: no.

Girl same! I also feel betrayed by Labour!
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 2mo ago🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Keir Starmer feels "betrayed" "He gave everything to Labour, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"
Anyone writing their thinkpieces about how burnham united the left is lost in columnist-brain: Starmer “united the left” at the general election, but it wasn’t passionate support, he was simply the least worst option.
Dan Sohege@danielsohege.bsky.social · 2mo agoSuspect this is accurate. Burnham, Streeting et al aren't going to diverge dramatically from Starmer's hostility towards marginalised communities. Without a major u turn, scrapping the current raft of inhumane policies, and ditching those who pushed them, Labour is toast regardless of who is leader
