So you don’t believe in freedom of speech? I’d far rather listen to views I don’t agree with them stop people from speaking. Remember beyond the pale was where the British shoved the Irish… not the best eg!

[Martin Shaw @martinshawx]

@mariellaf1 @JasonMccue You consider Kruger’s viewpoint a legitimate one? I’m genuinely surprised that you have no concept that some views are beyond the pale.

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

@welshjaci It’s the new normal! Who needs friends when Claude says you’re right all the time 😂

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Surely a sobering sign of the times that I’ve started being super nice to AI in hope that when the apocalypse comes it will remember me as a friend not a foe?

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

@martinshawx @JasonMccue You clearly didn’t understand the ethos of our festival which was to present multiple viewpoints and let audiences make up their own minds. Happily the couple of thousand people who attended found it refreshing rather than offensive. https://t.co/f9ZDv6z1UZ

My favourite summary of our fledgling debut festival last weekend! https://t.co/Z1R0sJgR9W

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

@highgatealex Yes!

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Back in time on challenging days like this one I used to just go round and round on the Circle Line til I felt better but even that pleasure is denied me these days!

[Jason McCue @JasonMccue]

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe will be speaking at our new festival @bigbruefestival https://t.co/JQ3CQm7R5B next weekend: ‘I still have nightmares. In my mind, I’m stuck in Iran’. @mariellaf1 looking forward to seeing all there. https://t.co/5EkuZsrfJW

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Mariella Frostrup: My festival has started arguments already. Good, that’s the whole point

@adhib Honestly I think Arday is a morality tale for our times… A perfect storm of interest groups converging using one mere mortal to make their point. He’s been used and abused elevated and berated by the right the left and the academic world while the media has profited from it all

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Words matter. Headlines hurt. This is a tragedy created by pernicious media.Questions about Arday’s qualifications and early life should never have been front page news and top of every news bulletin. Accountability must follow. My sympathies to his family https://t.co/0A7qEQ8o6w

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

@PaulEmbery Hi Paul, I’m in no way criticising legitimate investigation but the relentless pile on when measured against Ardays actual ‘transgressions’ was wholly unprecedented and unjustified.

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

@frankcottrell_b Can’t believe you haven’t been along to Cracking the Menopause @Gildedballoon We’re doing two for one if you bring a man! Irvine Welch was in the front row first night! Ends tomorrow 17th! M x

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Articulating the world I stumbled into on X where a pile on of fury and insult accompanied my observation that the Arday story had been met with truly unprecedented levels of media scrutiny. https://t.co/t51pQFirQW

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

You’ve asked nicely so I’ll answer. I absolutely agree with those questions being asked and with freedom of press and with academic institutions being held to account. But for one young man to carry the weight of all the lobbies with a vested interest in him was clearly too much

[Mike Fagan @Mike16704475527]

@mariellaf1 Why should those "questions" never have been front page news? Why not? He was a fraud. Are you suggesting academic fraud should be covered up?

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Delightful… beautifully expressed

[wacka dakka @WackaDakka]

@mariellaf1 accountability ? .. look in the mirror ,you santimonious cunt , its right there

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Just loving the quality of dialogue on Twitter. Confirms my instinct to set up @Bigbruefestival where articulate people can disagree agreeably!

[Bass Player @ElectricBassCat]

@mariellaf1 Shut the fuck up Mariella you washed up old sack.

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

If you happen to be @edfringe make sure to come along. @Gildedballoon daily at 2.30pm

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Finding myself in the unusual position of agreeing with Trump! If fuel cost rises are down to increased cost, how can the likes of BP be doubling their profits? Stinks of profiteering to me. https://t.co/h4XivLqmzW

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
