Back off, man…I’m a scientist.

@qikipedia Clouds were originally made from mashed potato until rising costs forced a swap to white candy floss.
See, we can make things up too.

@CosmicHorrorMo Did you feel like it just went on and on, unchanging, never leading anywhere, never reaching a resolution you felt must be just out of sight…?

@dcuworld I think I’ve found the shoe, I just don’t know why she’s wearing it…

@dcuworld Brain…difficulty…parsing…
Does she have a hoof, or am I missing something?

@Boropolis @TheAthleticFC And how would they know? Harvey sent an intern to hide in his bushes?

Imagine blowing 30 years of search engine dominance—so much so that your website became a verb—only to kill your search engine in favor of a inferior product only tech bros and their sycophants like.

@BBCNews Southampton owner is up to his neck in it then.
And is unlikely to have any choice when Eckert gets banned.

@craig_johns Well, they still haven’t sacked their manager so…

@Smithy_MFC84 Does he want to be that far down the roster though? An ambitious young lad like him wants guaranteed first team, week in week out.

The #Labour Party!

Hard at work investing your money in #AI so that you don’t have to work at all!

(Just try not to think too hard about why…)

@BoroHistory What you never saw was Helberg given the chance to build his own team. How many players were brought in while he was in charge, and how many were his picks? The January window was not his choice. We were told when he came that first season success was unlikely, so give him time.

@visitnorthyork I’d leave the tomatoes. And I’d want brown sauce.

I feel very uncomfortable about the AI Security Institute, and this article by its creator, ex-PM Rishi Sunak, encapsulates why:

He frames it as a way of avoiding regulating AI.

He says this categorically. “If politicians are blithe about the risks [of AI], they will vote for those who favour regulation.” And he makes it clear he thinks regulation would be bad: “western governments shouldn’t restrict innovation in the race against China.”

This is a man who now works for both Anthropic and Microsoft (not disclosed in the article).

Evaluating the safety of AI models is good. But not in place of regulating the technology itself, and the companies behind it.

Besides, as he points out, companies only give the AI Security Institute access to their models voluntarily. This means the UK government relies on good relations with big tech, which in turn makes it even less likely to regulate.

It is far from clear how much the AI Security Institute has actually achieved with its astronomical public funding. What *is* clear, though, is that the people who set it up see it as a way of ensuring *less* regulation of AI companies, not more. This is very bad news.

Steal from one person, it's a crime. Steal from everyone, it's the future of tech.

@RobSc0tt I reckon Silvera will stay. This whole ‘release but in contract talks’ is just to get him on a cheaper deal. If he’s happy with less money and still being a back up player he’ll stay rather than go lower league. Gamble on the prem next time around.
