Conservatives are even worse mind you. They love turning down applications for solar and wind farms and plan to scrap the climate change act if they get back into power

None of our successive governments will do anything about it. Labour have 25 year targets, and this provides zero motivation for any near term action. It's time for political change.

Top tip, to be honest I never thought of that before

Literally everything I read about openclaw is a red flag. Not sure why anyone would give an LLM the crown jewels and trust it with complete autonomy. Such a bad idea ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world The most disturbing revelation so far

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

Notable, but Eric Min is hardly a celeb though? Who cares really?

I think people would be more motivated by famous cyclists.

Same as spinach, which comes in even bigger bags.

Thinking idly about how there was a time in the past where the Grok CSAM scandal would lead to a huge exodus off X to Bluesky and elsewhere but how now everyone who cared about such things has already left

Exactly this. Been in this situation before and regret not telling them to get fucked.

I made a temperature dashboard with boost button using a cheap yellow display, esphome and home assistant. Works with Hive heating.

Instead of the next generation inheriting the farm and continuing to farm it, they have to sell to pay the inheritance tax. Over many years I could see how this could harm UK farming as they are all gradually sold off.

Their bread is disgusting. Thick cut and sweetened. And every single sandwich you can find has sliced meat in it.

My usual experiment to find out how bad LLMs are at technical instructions (wiring a UK plug) as applied to grok. It's just as bad as any other LLM out there:
