Wrong on both counts. The ‘danger to all humanity’ argument is propaganda drummed up by competing AI companies and the harm from the unwanted and unneeded data centers is a real world, brass tacks problem.
The Economist@economist.com · 17h agoThere is a respectable argument for slowing down AI research, but it rests on the danger to all humanity of the technology being abused or going rogue—not the local harms of data centres
Reminder: When Ukraine asked Israel for help and access to its Iron Dome technology in June 2023, Netanyahu — on record — cited his good relationship with Putin as reason he could not do so.
That Reform conference was basically all those boneheads who marched through our high streets for the National Front in the 70s and 80s having one last go before they're either too old, too senile, or too dead.
That's all old hamster cheeks and her pals have got. A non existent Britain from an era they never experienced. It's not even nostalgia, because no fucker from Reform is old enough to have been there. Utter dustbin politics. 🚮
Looking at the stars@lookingatthestars.bsky.social · 22h agoIn her Reform conference speech, Suella Braverman said that under a Reform government, schoolchildren will be obliged to sing the national anthem and “our great hymns”. I cannot imagine that this anything but a net vote loser.
I've no problem with Palace having a single supplier deal for beer in the ground, but why force that supplier's cheapest, poorest product upon us? Nobody wants Carling.
Have to say it's very easy to get a beer at Craven Cottage. And it's decent Camden Hells lager. Whereas at Selhurst we have to queue for ages to get Carling dog piss.
It took 5 minutes to figure out this bullshit, mainstream media is still pretending it’s an organic protest group — 0 work done by anyone. Where the fuck is MI5? Scotland Yard? This should have been shut down right out of the gate.
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 11h agoUK man starts potential right wing terrorist group, amplified by Russian / Israeli networks, Home Office asleep at the wheel. In follow up posts the agitator states “we are not voting our way out of this” implying violent uprising.
Media and authorities can call this a protest all they want to mask the security failure that just took place, but this is a foreign entity testing and disrupting key UK trade routes. Similar operations have been seen in other countries.
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 18h agoA Russian & Israeli-funded disruption operation sees black-clad right-wing thugs in balaclavas block UK’s largest international ferry port, which handles roughly one-third of UK–EU trade. An estimated £16.4 million worth of trade per hour. Promoted by IDF linked Tommy Robinson.
Good, but we have a problem here, the UK wants them in their prison too. The only fair way to resolve this problem, for proper distribution of justice might require a chainsaw 🤔

Big day for police services saying "we're doing absolutely fucking nothing about the violence of the far right"
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 21h agoWest Midlands Police: “We’re aware of a video circulating from the Reform UK Conference showing an incident with a protester. We haven’t received a complaint but would ask the woman to come forward. Anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting log number 924-050926”
Are we at the stage where we can ask about the timing of this just as Reform and Farage are facing day 2 of huge questions about foreign donations and breaking the law?

Not sure Sage has earned the right to whinge yet. He needs to button it until he gets a few more points.
I do hope the manager realises that when a 20 year old central defender starts looking shaky, it's time to take him out of the firing line for a period of time.
Think I'll get the Thames Clipper to Fulham, as I have no patience for any more slow moving queues today.
Putney Bridge station is shut today, if you're going to Craven Cottage you'll need to walk from Hammersmith or get the bus.

Deactivated Instagram for a bit, it appears that Elon's racist bots are even posting their bullshit on innocent videos of cats now, making it all but unusable.
It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2d ago"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
Again: Farage is a creature of the press, and owes them everything he has. He has been their frontman, they don’t work for him.
HK@hkesvani.bsky.social · 2d agoFarage’s legacy is that he made “being a cunt” not just a legitimate political position, but the default one. Every party is now judged on seriousness based on how cruel and violent they’re willing to be.
It's mad how quickly Aaron Ramsdale has gone from being Arsenal's number one to Southampton's 4th choice keeper.
To me, the most eye-opening bit of this recent Reform scandal is that these knobheads literally say that the reason they need foreign money is because British people won’t support them.
Seems like this pathetic little scrote didn't cause the pile on he was hoping for🚮
