@puntofisso I may have understated the Imperial Stout! I had some Fellowship Porter, which was great. As someone well known once said “I’ll be back” 🤭

Want to know why Michelle Donelan was forced to make an extraordinary apology to two academics earlier today?

It's a bizarre tale involving Policy Exchange, a secret government dossier and a libel case paid for by the taxpayer

Math t-shirts funny for the wrong reasons, a thread.

That’s not the graph of the absolute value function.

@johnlsheridan “ the web is full of ChatGPT output “ 🤣🤣🤣

[Igor Babuschkin @ibab]

The issue here is that the web is full of ChatGPT outputs, so we accidentally picked up some of them when we trained Grok on a large amount of web data. This was a huge surprise to us when we first noticed it. For what it’s worth, the issue is very rare and now that we’re aware of it we’ll make sure that future versions of Grok don’t have this problem. Don’t worry, no OpenAI code was used to make Grok.

@johnlsheridan sorry, was for you!

See the response that I’ll quote tweet next…

@KatxBea You must read this joke thread/novel - this could have been me, becoming a doctor. PS I am less and less up-to-date on Twitter these days

[frog @monofrogue]

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

[Barry Tennison @Bari10]

@KatxBea Oh yes, sorry, that was last evening, not this evening

[Barry Tennison @Bari10]

@KatxBea I’ve probably had less alcohol than you (spot of wine with dinner, I confess)

[Barry Tennison @Bari10]

@KatxBea Yes indeed. And the emojis were a laughing response to the joke!!
