AI showing once more there's nothing remotely intelligent about it. Who sends out these nonsense marketing emails that go straight in the bin, and what do they hope to gain from them?

Starmer’s Labour Party now fighting the Tories for the right wing vote and this guy would be perfectly at home gurning behind Farage beside 30p Lee.

I completed the June challenge faster than 95.5% of all learners on Duolingo!

The utter stupidity of that Bath last few minutes is beyond belief. Carreras not interested in a drop goal 15m in front of the posts, forwards with white line fever. Just nuts.

Live on Central FM with the first ever Saturday Social, get the app, get it in yo smart speaker, get it online at centralfm.co.uk 🧡🧡🧡

The problem isn’t welfare @AndyBurnhamGM It’s extraction. The welfare state is magic self perpetuating. The problem isn’t welfare. The welfare state was one of the greatest engines of prosperity ever created: healthier children, educated workers, security that allowed people to innovate and take risks. The problem is extraction, an economy where wealth flows upwards and away from the communities that create it. A society cannot cut its way to prosperity if its productive foundations are being hollowed out.

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.

I see Mosley continues the family tradition of wearing a black shirt. Make what you will of that.

So just to get my head straight and so I’m clear: the first pic is an act of terrorism and the second is an act of protest…… Have I got that correct??🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

Having Michael Gove as an Orwell Prize judge really pisses in the face of George Orwell's legacy.

Roland Freisler is what immediately comes to mind. What the f*ck has become of this country?

Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a £2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! 🤥 Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property." Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time. Thank you.

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

What fresh hell is this? The Spectator goes all in on Palantir, calling its critics victims of "Palantir Derangement Syndrome". What the magazine won't say: 🔺Spectator is owned by Paul Marshall, co-founder of Marshall Wace - which holds some 2.3 million shares worth $380m in... Palantir. 🔺Michael Gibson, who wrote this pro-Palantir screed for The Spectator, co-ran the Thiel Fellowship with Palantir owner Peter Thiel from 2010 to 2015. Thiel then backed Gibson's 1517 fund. 🔺Palantir's primary owner, Peter Thiel, was a happy business partner with convicted serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein - Epstein's other business partner, former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, described Thiel and Epstein as "co-owners" of their venture fund. Thiel's investment w/Epstein contributed to the single largest asset in Epstein's estate. 🔺We don't need a democracy hating giant surveillance-defence contractor owned by Epstein's business partner and alleged fund "co-owner" to infiltrate the NHS. Estonia, Denmark, and Israel manage complex national electronic health records without reliance on private defence platforms. 🔺There is a war on for your mind being waged by investors and media owners who have benefited directly from Peter Thiel and Palantir. Maybe Britain doesn't need friends and business partners of child rapists, nor people who would profit from them, running our health and security systems? Who is really deranged here? 👀

A police officer is under criminal investigation for using AI to generate false information in a court document, and the government announced a £140 million investment to roll AI out across all 43 forces the same week.
