Anti-AI people shouldn’t be allowed to use any software that used AI in development.
This includes every major phone operating system, every laptop OS, and every social media site.
This data center nonsense is just the modern day nuclear power debate: a bunch of alarmists are gonna set us back 30 years because they fell for misinformation, again!
Let me try and explain: a Krispy Kreme uses water to make doughnuts which can be eaten and coffee which can be drunken. The workers wash their hands so the food is sanitary and the customers use the bathroom. In a data center, all that water is wasted with no treats.
Kemi Badenoch says trying to save the 12,000 jobs at Poundland is “bonkers”.
Imagine you’re one of the families facing an uncertain Christmas. Or one of the suppliers, worried about being paid for stock delivered or sitting in your warehouse. Or even the landlords, concerned their properties will soon by empty for months and rent unpaid. How do you think they view it?
Here are the facts. Today we learnt from the company itself that it is in fact in the midst of a pretty successful turnaround. The company is not just solvent, but looks set to make an £18-20m underlying profit this year. Yes, it has debts and operates in a very challenging market, but it’s moving in the right direction. Fair play to the management and staff for what they’ve achieved this year.
As a result there are multiple bidders keen to discuss purchasing the business as a going concern.
And yet Gordon Brothers appear to be resisting, intent on shutting down the business and selling off its parts.
One of the bidders informed me tonight that Gordon Brothers “do not seem interested in doing a deal”. They are not responding and are not paying the suppliers.
In stopping the flow of money to the business shelves will empty, sales dry up and stores resemble ghost towns.
A business that took years to build could be destroyed in a few weeks. In retail, even if you opened a store a week, it would take a decade to reach 600 stores.
A decent business which brought value to people struggling with bills will become a failed one.
It’s not right that a foreign investor can cut off funding to a solvent business while offers are still on the table. As I’ve said before, not only will the workers and suppliers lose out, but the taxpayer will be on hook for tens of millions in benefits claims. This is not in the public interest. We should do our utmost to find an alternative.
That Kemi Badenoch doesn’t understand or even care about this says a lot about her.
Can we talk about #GTA6 ?
Does anyone else have a child (mine is a 13-year-old boy) who is relentlessly asking for this game? He’s telling us that all his friends have it (GTA5) and they all talk about it and that by denying him it (being a good mum/dad) we’re evil.
?
I’ve legitimately never heard a story of grooming happening on any of these sites.
At this point kids won’t be able to use the internet at all and the rest of us will have to scan our faces to look at fucking Google Maps.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is the second biggest Zelda launch in UK history, beating Breath of the Wild (physical sales only). It is easily the biggest physical game launch in 2026 (so far) https://t.co/hd5rXlhjxX
