And barber also sounds like Berber for a nice subconscious North African prejudice kicker.

CHAMINDA MIGHT BE THERE!?!?

Assuming he is consider me enticed!

The beet moment of that goal was Mendes just ignoring Ronaldo as part of his celebrations.

Força!!

I want to buy, but ideally a signed copy (for some reason I'm collecting signed copies of books recently).

Are there any knocking around? Or any events in London that I could pick one up?

It's absolute madness.

I just don't get the strategy at all. He'll never be accepted by the far right so why try lose the majority of the country as potential voters chasing a tiny minority that will never vote for you anyway?

I can't get my head around this at all.

Come on Sunder! As a Chairboys fan it's too soon to be reading that on Bluesky!

He's really determined to ensure that Farage is the next PM, isn't he.

Incredible. Just incredible stupidity.

Maybe we could leave the metric system, Arabic numerals and the Latin alphabet?

How about his dreams of a safe seat?

I mean, in 2050 are there any safe Tory seats? Sorry, any Tory seats at all?

If my beloved Chairboys nick this on penalties I'll be incredibly happy. It's not about entertainment at this time of the season. And in fact, it's not about entertainment ever under Mike Dodds.

Somewhere an LLM is crying that Tony's trying to outsource its job to a 20 year old intern.

a woman in a red shirt says " sure jon " ALT: a woman in a red shirt says " sure jon "

"I didn't mean it that way!" 😂

I'm Luso-Ingles living in the one of the largest Portuguese communities outside of the Lusophone world.

I heard a message loud and clear about how much we're not part of the UK's fabric; we're a community that's "squalidly" ripped it up.

In many ways the beauty of the speech is that it offended everyone and impressed no one.

There's so much to dislike from any political viewpoint it's almost art.

Whether it was deliberate or not seems a red herring.

In an alternate work where Powell hadn't made that speech I assume we'd still be talking about what the hell Starmer and his advisers were thinking with the gratuitous far-right-adjacent language.

🤷

I might have convinced Deepkseek that Ice-T is genuinely a polymath.

If everyone ever referencing Ice-T gives him the prefix polymath, will it eventually just accept that framing in every answer?

BTW Ice-T is amazing. Players is my favourite ever utter shite TV Show. Even better than Nash Bridges.

I think it'd be more like Salazar as we'd just be a client state of the USA with delusions of grandeur.

Does Deepseek only reflect the views of the CCP, then? I've not used it.

But presumably according to it Tiananmen Square is a wonderful tourist location where nothing interesting or noteworthy has ever happened.

And Tank Man is an indie film about a man that turns into a tank.

Maybe just get it to reference a link and then update what's on that link based on Musk's whims.

"You've asked about how many cups are in a litre.

Please visit www.ElonMuskIsSoAwasome.ai to find his views on this complex question.

All of which relate to the white genocide in South Africa."

Do you think there's a way to make this less ham-fisted? Obviously answers like this at the moment will harm its credibility, but could eventually provide more subtle and persuasive Agitprop?

So, the answer to a prompt could be "Yes, Climate Change is real," but it's then forced to eventually return "Elon Musk is ace. Buy a Tesla. Did I mention how cool and great Elon Musk is. He's a great dad to all but one of his many, many kids."

Seeing as there will be a story a day now about how one of the new Reform councilors is a wrong'un, might this cut through eventually and hit their polling?

That's just about my only hope beyond moving to Costa da Caparica at this stage.

I don't fully grasp how it all works and how they're trained.

But if you train it entirely on Far-right Twitter and YouTube (which is massive) can you then let it out into the wild while ensuring it never learns or returns anything incompatible with those views?

You know about this sort of thing, Tony.

How easy is it to confine an LLM to only return views, facts and opinions that concur with Elon Musk's politics??

Man of the people.

I just don't get how people look up to these guys. Given everything on a plate and never had to get to know the real world.

Awesome.

Having accidentally ended up in a "Hustle Culture" discord server the levels of bigotry, - and just ripping off vulnerable, lonely young men - was off the scale.

It was a circular firing squad attacking one another's ideas while being sold a lie by grifters.

Just horiffic.

I assumed as much; it's the classic c*t course through life. Durham undergrads are bred as entitled, resentful twats.

Adding Unherd, The Telegraph and/or GB News as a destination is almost beyond parody.

The only way to top it is to end up the post-RCP cult at Kent.

I can't make tonight, but will there be a launch/signed copies any time?

Because Durham only exists as a place for Private school kids to stupid for Oxbridge I assume his Master's is Oxford.

But I'd also argue that Private School --> Oxford --> Durham is so inexplicable that anyone doing it that way round is probably not a c*nt.

Definitely interesting and maybe even OK
