Sam Altman’s large, unwieldy mouth had some bad news for you

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTERHORN

A third of all wah-wah will be played by AI within the next five years

Similar here, only made worse by every council in the county viscerally hating Leicester's mayor and wanting to do anything to spite him personally. He offered to abolish his own office to get an expanded city boundary (because we're very tightly bounded here and it's killing us). They said no

They all have the brittle insecurity of the habitual bastard. Payne knows what he is, he's too smart not to. Gullis hasn't got a fucking clue, however.

Whatever Sebastian Payne gets for his column, I can do infinitely better for a tenner less a go. It's just good business sense for the Times to now sack him and give me his job

They were either bullied too much or not enough at school

He's 36. Ten years younger than me. How do you grow up in the late 20th Century and end up like that? How is it even possible?

It kept me alert, certainly. The other tx station I was responsible for was at Chapel Street multistorey in Derby, which had an equally Spider Man route to it but most notably, a leisure centre on the roof, now sadly long closed. Very very 1960's age of concrete

In a past life I was responsible for a radio transmitter on the roof of the flats. Getting up there involved a lift to the 28th floor, then climbing a ladder through a hatch to another ladder and another hatch two feet to the left in a dark roof void and it was *terrifying*. Tremendous view, though

Would you also have a big pile of mash with all sausages sticking out?

They also seem to enjoy dressing like fishermen. It was a very novel place for a flyover-country dweller like me to experiece

Off topic, but I was in Hackney at the weekend, and saw a Gail's next to a charity shop for ex-greyhounds. Talk about socially crunchy

I remember it being a sci-fi trope for years that humans rose in rebellion against the machines. And now it's happening in reality, although I can't help but wish we could have the good bits of sci-fi (flying cars, abundance) instead of nothing but the bad bits (Ayn Rand oligarchs, serfdom, Skynet)

Might add you all to a WhatsApp group and dump this place entirely instead

In my case it's more been that I have been looking around a it after my break, and *then* it crashes. It's hard not to take that as a sign

I don't want to add to his woes, but that picture makes his arm look weird

It's all a mix of a High Court judge asking 'Who are these rolling stones?' and abject cowardice at the prospect of Nigel maybe not answering his phone for a couple of days

Praying for the day that the media finally, finally get bored of these so deeply incapable and unimpressive losers

When I’ve finished breakfastmaxxing

A two parter from my university days:

‘You’re interested in everything, aren’t you? [pause] That’s not a compliment, before you start thinking it is’

A trendily turned up cuff on a pair of less trendy jeans

Back from a sojourn to fashionable Hackney in television’s famous London

Top class, m8

Maybe he means you watched The Pitt, and that would have been a good day because it really is top class

Also you can now watch The Pitt, and it’s brilliant

Yeah, but birthdays are great. I hope you had a lovely one

I have a day off work so will nose about and see if it’s as depressing as before. So far, it’s about the same

I also popped in, and can promise I’m not AI

OK, bye again

Just popping back to say this admission of obvious, incontrovertible truths from Keir Starmer will make absolutely zero difference in our insanely factional, hostile, lazy and frankly shit thick social, political and media culture. Most whistleblowers get sacked anyway, no matter how right they are
