Palantir has just been awarded a £9 million contract for the Police. Additionally they hold a £330milluon contract with the NHS and a £240 million contract with the ministry of defence. #contract #police #breakingnews #corrupt #england

Todd Blanche is illegally withholding 2.5 million Epstein Files from the American people.

He must be immediately impeached and investigated.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

So he refused to hand over messages so he could use them against the Government?
This despite the issues with Epstein already identified and under investigation.

A point about Farage and his shameful opportunism that has been missed.

If Farage cared so much, why couldn't he be bothered to attend Shabana Mahmood's statement to the House about Henry Nowak's murder on Tuesday and ask questions?

No, @louismosley. We're putting patient safety over your evil company's interests 👀

I have watched 60 Minutes my whole life.
So have millions of Americans. For nearly 40 years, Scott Pelley was part of why. He is one of the truly great American journalists, and CBS just fired him, one day after he stood up in a staff meeting and told the truth about what is being done to the institution he gave his career to.

Pelley said new management told him to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story, and to report claims that had not been verified. A journalist of his caliber refused.

For that, he was shown the door.

He is praying for a day when sanity, competence, and courage return to that newsroom. So am I.

This is bigger than one man losing one job. 60 Minutes has held the powerful to account since 1968. When the people willing to ask hard questions are pushed out and replaced by people willing to soften the story, every American loses a watchdog we did not know how much we needed until it was gone.

Scott Pelley deserved better.

The country deserves better. A free press does not survive on its reputation. It survives on people with the spine to defend it, and we should all be paying attention to what is happening.

It's neat to see the words. Some are formal/fancy (like "exacerbate" and "situates"), but others are simpler (like "offers" and "adjusts"). I presume "paving" is for "paving the way," not cement! 😆

At Tommy Robinson Southampton protest, a speaker said

"Our nation has been invaded... Many of them bow down to the false god of Islam. This is a Christian nation."

Islam has nothing to do with Henry Nowak’s death. The killer is Sikh and the police officers are white….so why include anti Muslim comments?

It’s disgusting and very disappointing for his family that his death has been exploited by the far right.

Farage has achieved his goal — to return from his hiding place with such outrageous statements that he hopes the questions about his £5m donation are now forgotten.

The media are duly obliging by focusing on his racist dog whistles instead of his corruption.

Trumpian.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Significant

The murder of a woman by a police officer appears to hold little overall value (or political manipulation)

However add in an ethnicity factor against a male then it is full on agenda based politics

Robert Gros made £27m selling useless gowns via the VIP PPE Lane, of course he never paid back a penny, he bought 2 mansions instead.

RT and see if we can make him as famous as Michelle Mone.

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

This is where use of AI writing in published academic papers has increased the most and the least, according to a new study. They tracked the prevalence of words that AI tends to use more than humans, like "juncture" and "delves."

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.

The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔Sam Altman says OpenAI's top internal user burns 100 billion tokens per month. Six years ago that number was 100,000. An external customer uses even more. Cost complaints are now the second most frequent issue he hears from clients. And his next move is "always on" AI that runs autonomously in the background, which would multiply consumption far beyond current levels. Altman shared this during a livestream on enterprise AI adoption covered by Axios.

My Take
Altman just described a future where consumption goes up by orders of magnitude while his customers are already asking how to bring the bill down. Those two things can't coexist for long. GitHub Copilot switched to token billing two days ago and users burned through a month of credits in hours. Ramp data already shows Anthropic passing OpenAI in enterprise spend, which means the competition for these customers is heating up at the exact moment the customers are pushing back on cost.

IBM's CEO said this week the industry needs $6 to $8 trillion in capex and the revenue to justify it probably doesn't exist. Altman is previewing autonomous agents that would multiply current token consumption without anyone requesting it. Either the cost per token drops fast enough to make that affordable, or enterprises start capping their AI spend. One customer already exceeds 100 billion tokens a month. Scale that across autonomous agents at every enterprise and nobody has budgeted for what comes next. Altman is selling a vision of infinite demand while admitting the customers paying for current demand are already flinching at the price.

Stanford's new research shows that AI is way better than their law professors. https://t.co/sQ3jEYstpJ

Law professors rated LLMs far higher than their peers (average win rate = 75.33%), with models performing similarly to the best instructor.
