You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

We shouldn’t have to vote tactically. We shouldn’t have to painstakingly analyse small sample polls with huge error margins to figure out how to stop our least preferred candidate winning. We shouldn’t have to be bombarded with conflicting party propaganda about who is in front really. It’s madness.

Delighted to see I Swear winning awards at the Baftas - it's a brilliant and important film with great performances and I hope this encourages even more people to see it.

people think the harder part of writing a book is the writing, but no, that's actually a minority of the work, you actually produce far more words arguing about what to call it

Brit here. It's a strong swear in the UK but gender neutral and without the misogyny that it seems to have in the US. I'd never use the word b*tch, as that's usually reserved for women, but a c-bomb doesn't have that bias here.

Exactly this. The coming of age show as I came of age. The inevitable future rewatch will hit hard.

Well the new met office app is totally unusable. I’d like to know if it’s going to rain in the place I’ll be on Saturday but it would prefer it to be a surprise.
