Hence not letting Gemini off the hook

But yes, it does matter. If 'normal' prompts can get you here, that's much worse than if you have to prompt "How do I commit a massacre!

And this kind of BS is what people thought Starmer would get rid of... replacing it with some basic technocratic competence

It's incredible, TBH.

Isn't it largely because they aren't that big compared to e.g. London and Paris?

What the f*ck kind of prompts is this kid giving Gemini?

I can honestly say I have never received any kind of output that remotely resembles this.

(Not letting Gemini off the hook with this observation, BTW)

Government promises to 'break the link' between gas and power prices Reforms to renewables subsidy regime aims to help curb electricity costs, but some experts argue market shake-up still leaves gas playing a key role in setting power prices

Lots of good stuff in the government's clean energy announcements this morning, but several experts reckon they've oversold the idea these reforms 'break the link' between gas and power prices. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528585...

This is the critical concern

Retroactive policy - whether on energy or refugees - is pretty much always bad

Hard to have much sympathy here, but she is also a mother who is just frightened for her family.

Sadly this doesn't yet seem to be translating into negative sentiment for the master strategist.

Would be good to read a proper assessment of this. On the face of it, makes a lot of sense.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Delta Air Lines had no trouble endorsing the Big Beautiful Bill, which gave ICE a blank check to terrorize Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge.

They flew Liam to an ICE concentration camp.

Now they want a million dollars to build a new lounge at MSP.

Agreed. Sadly, many armies (incl. colonial British armies) over time has shown that impunity breeds contempt

There are always sadists, morons and just emotionally damaged people in the military, and a good amount of that damage can be caused by the political leaders

No nation has 'purity of arms'

Interesting.

Combined with the report in the JC, and the rise of Restore, I wonder if Farage has realised that once you legitimise hatred, you can't really bottle it.

Revolution eating itself, part 3,845... just a pity so many people have to be victims of it.
