Keep hearing that Claude is a real step forward for AI. Agentic, smart, gamechanger. Thought I'd give it a try - know thy enemy and all that.
Yeah, still not sure I'm worried that the robots are coming for my job just yet.
I thought it was a legal requirement that all lo-fi music channels must use as their background an anime schoolgirl in headphones studying against backdrops of various weather
Really hoping he uploads a 2 hour video essay on why DE actually *is* the best game ever made in response
Eagerly waiting for this post to work its way onto Stephen Bush's feed
I reckon he'd have had a shot in his younger days, not sure he's got Trudeau's patter though
Plus while it's easy to forget that Starmer is pushing 65, he has clearly always tried to stay fit and healthy, and was willing to pick up a second career and *start* climbing the greasy pole in his mid-50s. I can't imagine retirement is on his list of priorities.
Sunak the only PM in decades that I think genuinely had ideas of what he might want to do outside of politics, and probably an under discussed reason why he didn't take the parliament all the way to the wire, even when it was clear he was getting booted out regardless.
The same reason as all PMs find it difficult to walk away, surely? It's the biggest job they will ever do and it's nigh-impossible to transition into a satisfying second career unless you really, really love giving after-dinner speeches to Goldman Sachs executives.
I interviewed Lando Norris and the world champion was open, honest and articulate. And then his management stepped in to police and muzzle him in an attempt to "control the narrative."
From then on it did not go too well....this is what happened.

Why would anyone think this is a good idea?!
I still hate the fact that the DVD case (at least the UK version) - which is how 90% of people outside Japan would discover and consume the film - effectively spoiled the entire premise of the plot.
Stephen you pose this question as if this government would be up to navigating that intray without the distraction of Mandelson, and uh, well, I don't know how to break this to you but
Rishi Sunak you say?
The Ed Stone with the pledges replaced by the rules from Dua Lipa's 2017 song New Rules
Since we’re all revisiting our Ed memes…
And as Ed Miliband is definitely Not Wes Streeting, James's argument is logically air tight. I'll grab the Ed Stone.
It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson
the Militime has come
Also apparently married to the Under-Secretary of State for Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones - the new Ed Balls/Yvette Cooper Labour power couple of the future?!
Politics JaM, it was very good. Unfortunately shuttered when he went to work for the NEF. Always came across as very likeable (as well as incredibly intelligent).
Co-host of the best politics-with-musical-subtheme podcast created by a pair of PhD students of the past decade? He's got my vote!
And when you think that even in his darkest days, Boris never lost that loyal cadre that was willing to go out to bat for him and make themselves look fools...
Two years ago, polling in the mid-20s as an established party was effectively as bad as extinction - now it makes you favourite to form the next government!
In a way, it feels like the fracturing of the electorate could play very strongly into the Tories' hands, and not just because of the electoral maths. In a world where polling can very easily drive perception, you only have to gain a few percentage points to appear the coming force again.
I don't disagree with the sentiment of Sky's post, but at the same time, Dola: Smart AI Assistant (currently 4th in the top free apps in Play Store) is *obviously* not more popular than TikTok (13th)!
I don't know what metrics Apple/Google use, but I'd like to know before declaring this evidence.
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!
Today’s ep in our series about how George Orwell tried to make sense of WW2 looks at his response to the lurches of fortune from 1942-43 as Hitler’s plans for world domination started to fall apart. Where did the ideas for 1984 first come from?

I totally get this in isolation - I would absolutely root for any team against Southampton in any other situation. In a hypothetical situation where a Southampton win against our relegation rivals secures them the title and us salvation? Then those Saints can come marching in, baby.
The primary joy I derive from football is seeing my own team succeed! Portsmouth getting relegated would make me *much* more miserable than seeing Southampton win the title!
Thinking about it from a Portsmouth/Southampton perspective, I can't understand anyone who would answer anything other than yes/no.
Maybe it would be different if it was a PL title, but I cannot imagine a world in which I would be happy to get relegated to League One to stop Scum getting promoted.
I don't know what the equivalent numbers are in the UK, but it is really heartening to see good independent bookshops pretty much everywhere I go now. And they've really forced the big names to up their game - I try to shop indie where I can, but Waterstones is very good!
