"crypto ISA" is a phrase that just shouldn't exist. Any minister proposing them should've been launched into the Chiltern hundreds with a catapult.

It's flippin' *crypto*, no government should ever even consider legitimising it.

The Tory party coming out against middle aged nature lovers who respond to public consultations about bank notes absolutely shows that they have no idea who *any* element of their putative coalition are anymore

Except he did try to hide something from the media

Quite a few people saying this story is desperate stuff, but they obviously just don't like it when a newspaper points out that their new favorite politician is just another lying chancer...

So as long as the policies are good it doesn’t matter if the leader is a charlatan?

6 months ago he said he’d been misrepresented and had apologised the day after the Sun article. What we now see is that actually he doubled down on his claim and DID think he could grow boobs. He’s a charlatan. If another party’s MP did similar I’m sure you’d be all over it!

Did you try to get the jag up there?

Why?

I mean, you'd think they'd love that!

So… having just seen extracts from an interview with Emily Bender I’m going to go out on a limb and say she may well be shallow and out of date.

AI Is Too Consequential For Half-Baked Lefty Critiques Less dime-store philosophizing, less denialism

This is a good article. What’s striking is that the critics like Emily Bender come across more like ideologues than people who actually understand what they’re criticising.
There’s plenty in AI to critique but many on the left are doing a bad job at doing so.

I mean, that is literally one of the options!

What do you have against kindness? Sounds like you need to be more kind.

Like the KFC for Xmas dinner in South Korea thing

Yeah, but over multiple heads or just one head? You choose.

Does that include any words you said to yourself? I suspect in 8 days I’d get through twice that easily just with the occasional “oh for fuck’s sake” muttered under my breath periodically

"Grok has responded to some users on X explaining its actions."

No it hasn't, BECAUSE ITS NOT A PERSON.

Standard of reporting round AI is getting so much worse.

There’s an irony in The Lancet writing this. They’re in part responsible for his views and actions

Took me a while to actually see what it’s meant to be!

Positive identification hasn’t happened yet. That’s why it’ll be written this way. They’re hedging until it’s confirmed.

I think AI is unlikely here. Whilst it can be formulaic it just isn’t this bad. I suspect this is a bad use of a template that purposefully uses hedging language for legal reasons (perhaps because investigation is ongoing).

Honestly I think the opposite is true. This reads more like some kind of template was poorly used and edited, with language that’s purposefully hedging for some kind of official/legal reason. If AI was drafting these I’d expect them to be more polished than this. It wouldn’t write that badly.

Food banks exist because food is a biological necessity. No one is ending up in A&E because they can’t afford a Substack subscription. The analogy collapses the moment you apply any scrutiny to it.
