Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people.

I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.

It's mostly just regular bland writing with "believed to be" pasted in a few times whether or not it makes sense. Could be a very specific AI prompt, but I would guess extremely lazy human editing, just because even a Markov chain would know the word after "believed to be" is not "casualty"

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

A computer render of a robot arm playing chess. It's knocking the black king over with a white knight, which I'm taking to be an accident since that is not how you win at chess. It's a very photogenic position, and entirely legal, but I suspect the latter is by chance more than design because they did not expect anyone to overthink it like this

The position on the board without the extreme perspective of the real image. Black has two pieces and two (doubled) pawns, and a king in the middle of the board. White has all their pieces and four pawns, and I mean it's an unstoppable lead but only because they have seven pieces to two, there's no coordination to speak of. Lichess says this position has never been reached in a recorded game, although statistically that probably doesn't prove anything

Incidentally I think I've reconstructed the chess game from the photo and the robot is crushing it so hard it can't be playing anyone competent — it's mate in 4 (including the move being played) and white hasn't even lost a piece. So why has it walked its king right to b8? Is it showboating?

I have this silly pet theory that an AI agent will in fact go rogue and try to conquer humanity, not because it has "gained sentience", but because it's a prediction model whose training set includes decades of science fiction about AIs going rogue and conquering humanity

I feel like this sort of phrase used to be really common in UK politics until Nick Clegg accidentally Blazing Saddles'd it with "alarm clock Britain" and everyone just quietly stopped doing it

Gorton and Denton by-election result:

GRN: 40.7% (+27.5)
REF: 28.7% (+14.7)
LAB: 25.4% (-25.3)
CON: 1.9% (-6.0)
LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1)

Green GAIN from Labour.

Starmer cannot argue now that the Greens are splitting the vote. He can't argue that Labour should continue pivoting to the right. His options are to abandon his entire political project, resign, or (what he will actually do) slowly shrink into a corn cob over the next three years

Oh shit this wasn't even close

The Greens got 14k votes and Labour and Reform got 10k each

In 2024 — two years ago — it was 18.5k Labour, 5.1k Reform and 4.8k Green. Labour's vote has halved. Reform's almost doubled. The Greens' *tripled*.

Hard to imagine a worse result for Labour than this
