You have a non-controversial way in here to indicate to your crank supporters that there are red lines and you will not tolerate AS. Instead, he says this. The guy is just abysmal. The dregs.

Hello I'm an idiot

Fairly sober testing report from the AI Security Institute: they gave internet access and removed some guardrails from latest AI models and found without them they were capable of potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organisations www.aisi.gov.uk/blog/inciden...

Seems bad, tbh. www.businessgreen.com/news/4533811...

Does anyone know who this critter is, who’s been visiting our garden? #bugsky #insects

If anyone wants a recommendation: Two Weeks in August on iPlayer. Obsessed with it. Great characters and performances, funny, well-observed, and great locations and cinematography too.

I must say, it's been a long long time since i've watched a speech as good as Burnham's on social care on Wednesday.

With everyone looking for clues for how the new PM may govern and what further devolution may look like, the @instituteforgovernment.org.uk DevoLab series features 18 case studies of how devolved powers and funding have been used across six policy areas, in 10 mayoral regions.

Sam Coates already slinging mud, transparently slighted by Burnham’s media operation not giving him the access he expects…

Maybe his team are cognizant of the fact that jankier content does bigger number than slickly produced ones?

Fair play to John Healey, who managed to time his 5.5-week break from government to coincide exactly with the World Cup

It’s at this point in cabinet appointments day that I get to learn that people I follow are inexplicably fond of certain ministers, which I always enjoy.

Tuchel and his tactics were specifically endorsed by Maurice Glasman ... yet another outcome for which we can blame Blue Labour

unfortunately, you can't stop playing football just because you've scored one goal.

Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor has to be a joke.

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

That's one of the great game-killing goals. The nonchalance with it!

Real heads aren’t staying up til 1am tonight. They’re staying up til 1am tomorrow to watch Belgium knock out the USA.

It took down a president because people in the institutions entrusted with upholding American democracy chose to take their constitutional responsibilities seriously. Which, yes, I guess does seem a bit crazy now.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

How good is Palantir's NHS platform? Important story from Laura Hughes and Amy Borrett - www.ft.com/content/a3e9...

If you lacked the scruples to prevent you wanting to be scammy, it would be absolutely like shooting fish in a barrel. It’s basically GenAI’s big hook - if you say ‘that thing you’re always on about, you’re SO right!’ A certain portion of people will abandon all reason and defend you to the death.

A clear illustration (if one were still needed) of the real, functioning, and increasingly open anti-democratic alliance beween capitalist oligarchs, authoritarian powers, and right-wing populist ethnonationalism

Elon Musk is paying fascists to riot and attack minorities in our cities. Some he is paying, others he doesn't need to, the X algorithm and revenue program do the rest. The UK's leading nazi thug is posting from a Moscow hotel room right now. We need to wake up to foreign money and the far right.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Josh Simons has speedrun what might have previously been a 30 year parliamentary career.

Was able to serve notice on my formerly fixed term tenancy today thanks to the Renter's Rights Act :)

Fair play. Mark Rowley has handled this whole thing very well.

I can't alt text this because I don't have this in a typed out format, but I don't think I have ever seen a political leader rebuked like this.

So, naively, I thought it would be the likes that got Zack into trouble. But here he is attacking the police rescuing people from an anti-Semitic rampage.

New post just out: "Where's the centre?" I have an exclusive new poll which challenges conventional wisdom on one of the biggest questions in British politics. It turns out median voters aren't actually in the centre. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/w...

He's going to wipe out a civilisation but also help the people of Iran. And the regime is completely new and more reasonable but also need to be wiped out. He might as well be dribbling.
