Waking up to videos of Elon Musk doing Nazi salutes on the podium at a US presidential inauguration; what a way to start the day!
I saw the stills, I thought “Nah, that’s been taken out of context.” Then I saw the video and an actual feeling of dread settled in my stomach.
It doesn’t even matter if it was really just a deliberately provocative prank.
This took much longer than I expected. Forget Trump, the guy was already an avowed “great replacement conspiracy” nut…
I work with data in the UK public sector. For me, the accuracy of that data is paramount. I’ve certainly been in roles where the accuracy of the data was an unwelcome fact. While that’s not the case in my current role, I do have general concerns about the employment of AI in this area. This is along the lines of:
“We know it’s not completely accurate, but we also know no-one is really looking at it too closely, so what is the value of being accurate?”
The Bafta winner speaks about his new show and why young people are getting interested in folklore.
I like to think of it as a backlash against commercial and globalisation. It’s a popular refrain from the right that we’ve lost our British identity. I’m not sure which identity that is, though, and people that say it also seem to struggle to define it. Presumably an ideal from some point in the 19th century, when “red tape” and “wokeness” didn’t stop people making money. I can understand why reaching back before the “Age of Discovery” for some shared identity would appeal to people.
I feel similarly with paganism and the import of Christianity. When you consider the population of the UK was already 75% immigrants circa 400-800 CE/AD and you consider that Stonehenge was completed circa 1600 BCE/BC, it’s tricky to track down your cultural heritage.
A Tasmanian court has overturned an anti-discrimination ruling that shut down the Ladies Lounge.
(The Ladies Lounge provides) women with a rare glimpse of what it is like to be advantaged rather than disadvantaged
Well, I’m glad he gets it.
Several things:
Firstly, how has this article been written without reference to Hot Fuzz?
Secondly, it’s not a bad idea. Especially considering:
If you’re 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can [already] drink beer, wine or cider with a meal.
Seems reasonable, right?
But, the major problem is that this does not remove the need for ID checks. Set the age at 16, you’ll get 13-14 year olds trying it on.
What we, in the UK, really need is culture shift where being falling down drunk is not tolerated and for landlords to abide by their license and stop serving such persons alchohol.
Jordan Peele's "Nope" is a sci-fi horror hybrid that leaves viewers with a lot of questions. We're explaining the most confusing moments from the film.
Spoilers!
Nick Clegg, once again, demonstrates that those in power will only understand the threat AI poses to their wellbeing when they’re on the way to the HIgh Court to get an injunction.
I have no idea what the ADL has been saying but I am extremely skeptical of Musk’s personal views and intentions for the platform. Which is why I stopped using it.
Tammy Beaumont becomes the first women's batter to hit a century in The Hundred with a spectacular 118 for Welsh Fire against Trent Rockets.
I feel lucky to have been able to watch this. It was incredible.
