Her full name - according to her - is not Suzanne Ashman. It’s Suzanne Ashman Blair. She’s just been appointed head of UK govt-funded Sovereign AI & her father-in-law - Tony - has a ton of skin in…you’ve guessed it, the sovereign AI game.

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker.

Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”.

He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was given a suspended sentence.

It comes up when you Google him.

He won in the council election.

He’s now a Reform Councillor.

This is so important but is being missed in the noise of everything else.

Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.

Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again:

James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner.

Creatives in the UK - please fill out this government survey about generative AI. It is a chance to affect their thinking.

(It officially closed yesterday but seems still to be accepting responses.)

These are the tweets that got me blocked by the CEOs of Google DeepMind, Runway, and ElevenLabs respectively.

I asked about the work they train on - as simple as that.

If you can’t answer polite questions about this, what are you trying to hide?

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Incredible thread about the Reform UK Chair for Bath, Tim Nott.

He likes to dress as a Nazi, and has an interesting chest tattoo…

There’s reenactment, and there’s dressing as Himmler’s SS.

@ednewtonrex hey @matiii, may I ask you something? Don’t you think it’s a legitimate question to ask how your models are trained? Your actions affect the wellbeing of third parties, & society as a whole. This isn’t some random gotcha question, it’s a fundamental part of public policy.

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

One of your researchers, in a previous role, said he was “really excited” for the LibGen dataset (millions of pirated books), suggested using a vpn to torrent pirated books, and referred to illegally accessing pirated books as “cyberpunk coolness”.

Is this something the AISI agrees with? If not, what is your view on using pirated books for AI training, as OpenAI is known to have done?

[DaveB @dbrewis53]

@Basingstoke_FC @waltonhershamfc Thanks so much for this, was great to be able to listen live👏

A senior product manager at Microsoft was telling users to train LLMs on Harry Potter.

Does the piracy have no end

[DaveB @dbrewis53]

@waltonhershamfc Stunning stuff, everyone excellent in tricky conditions. Nice one

If you voted #Brexit to reduce Illegal #Immigration, it's high time you realised that you were conned, and by whom.
