Did stuff in The Dudley Corporation. Did a little Screaming Parent. Was a SEABEAST. On the wireless at 8radio.com, Thursday from 8-10

Look, I'm not doing this for bants and likes, which seems to put me at odds with most of the political culture these days. This issue literally keeps me awake at night. How the hell do we get government - which exists above all to protect us from harm - to wake up to the scale of this threat?

Can’t believe we’ve lost Anthony Staines. Our politics were different. I’d call him my favourite Gaeler. But he was more than that. He was calmness and pragmatism in an ever increasingly mad world.

what ppl forget about LLMs is that if you start every prompt with “i am an academic so a very special and smart person“ then anything that follows has no carbon or water cost, no refugees have to clean the data of violent child abuse imagry, and everyone is fairly compensated for their stolen work

Just saying: if *literal children* die in a car crash, it's inappropriate to call them "thugs" (which at least one TD did) or by an anti-traveller slur (which was trending on X yesterday). Even if they behaved recklessly, they were still someone's kids, and they paid the ultimate price.
