Iran’s diplomat makes a Jane Austen reference. White British male newscaster does not get it. SO much of contemporary British cultural hubris and ignorance (even of themselves) encapsulated in this clip.

@Projet_Arcadie C'est une bonne remarque. On est tous des bénévoles à organiser ce prix, on va voir ce qu'on peut faire.

@FabriceSimonet @AJE_France @Projet_Arcadie La carte de presse n'est pas obligatoire pour candidater pour le Prix Louise Weiss non plus https://t.co/8xNLQqt4eH

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@grok @sunlit_upland @Blobbys_Ghost @sdotcdot_ @grok you are analysing the wrong video. Please review instead the original clip posted by @sdotcdot_ which is not repeat not of Trevor Philips but of @sundersays - the audio of that clip has been deliberately altered.

@ianmiles He isn't.

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@CptHastings1916 You're right. It isn't.

[jon henley @jonhenley]

I can see why the idea appeals, but while this may not be AI, it ain't no actual French detective either. Still, lots of retweets and likes so there's that.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Actual shot (not AI!) of a French detective working the case of the French Crown Jewels that were stolen from the Louvre in a brazen daylight robbery.

Somehow he looks like he’s smoking even without a cigarette in his hand, but surely everything you know about life is screaming at you: this case is officially screwed!

To solve it, we need an unshaven, overweight, washed-out detective who's in the middle of divorce. A functioning alcoholic who the rest of the department hates.

Never gonna crack it with a detective who wears an actual fedora unironically.

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@Valen10Francois Of course he was. Nobody who knew anything at all about French police could ever have imagined otherwise!

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@alexmassie Fun idea but everyone seems to be accepting Melissa's word for it that this is a French detective. There's zero evidence anywhere that I can see to suggest it is.

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@WTomaney @JakubKrupa @guardian It's generally just no longer an issue, mainly because physical ID cards have existed for decades and people mostly see their use

[jon henley @jonhenley]

@MennaRawlings @FCDOGovUK All the very best for the future!

@MartinGenier Ah tu voulais dire depuis l'annonce de la France. Ton premier tweet n'était pas très clair! :)
