Massive spud of a human.

I mean, good luck trying to get this working in Northern Ireland too.

This is a classic Tory death rattle. Punish those lazy, entitled young people who, whilst not responsible for the 2008 crash (that was us and our banker mates) or the following years of austerity that ripped the heart out of public services whilst private services prospered (that was also us, but with our banker mates) or Brexit, an enterprise that spit the nation and has left us all worse off (again, us, but this time with our business and banker mates), it is those no good, molly-coddled young people with their funny hair colour and inability to buy houses, or food in some cases, that are the problem with the UK and we need to whip them into shape whilst we (who haven’t been whipped into any sort of shape at all) continue to be in charge.

Can we swap out the word “hallucinations” for the word “bullshit”?

I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as “someone down the pub said…”

So, “someone down the pub said you can eat rocks” or, “someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza”.

Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.

Right?! When they could be playing Doom on it.

I mean they sent someone called “Eden Golan”.

That would be like the English fielding a contestant called, “Paradise Belfast”.

“There are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user’s VPN runs on Linux or Android.”

So there are ways.

Wow, he must have really learned his lesson from the last 9 telling offs.

Not only not admitting fault but somehow making it the fault of the very people that told them exactly what would happen.

Don’t put your hand in the fire, johnny, it’ll hurt. johnny stares you in the eye as he puts his hand defiantly into the fireOoooow, it burns! Why did you make it burn me?!?

No mate, I’m doing you a favour playing your game. You should pay me. It would be great exposure. I’ve got literally some followers.

And yeah, I’ll bang on about minimum wage being too low and I’ll post about AAA Devs ripping off their workers, but a lone developer asking $10 for something that probably took them months, too much. Too much.

What a sell out.

(/S just in case)

Yup that’s a nostalgia.

It’s part of growing old, it’s part of coming to terms with mortality.

Soon, you’ll say the words, “but music really was better back then, it really meant something, now it’s just manufactured trash”. You’ll really mean it too.

You’ll convince yourself that the crime rate was lower and that people were friendlier, no matter what statistics you are shown.

“We really respected our elders”.

Next up, friend, the mid-life crisis where you think you can get it all back.

“This shit doesn’t even happen in the US”

Ok, Trump aside, do you remember the US response to the 9-11 attacks?

Israel is bang out of order, but it doesn’t help that the groundwork for dealing with “terrorists” on a global scale was laid by the US.

Remember renaming French fries to “Freedom Fries” because the French dared to oppose the invasion of Iraq, a country that had very little to do with the terrorist act?

I love a good protest … But this isn’t a good protest.

What’s the most important thing?” they shouted. “Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?”

Yeah, no. I think in a civilised world we should be able to have both and that sort of argument is weak as fuck.

Destroy all art because it is more important that we conduct research into cot death. Oxygen is more important than art and yet look at you, with your galleries.

It’s infantile posturing of probably well off middle class kids who want their Rosa Parks moment for Instagram clout.

Further to that, attempting to destroy something that essentially belongs to everyone is just going to bring negative press. How about going after something owned by the head of Nestle? No? Is that too difficult and requires too much work?

Imagine a world where billionaires having petty arguments result in…

Yeah, we don’t have to imagine. It’s happening all the time. Shit service from streaming platforms, awful social media services. The very politics of our democracy. The media.

It’s all dick measuring, all the time.
