This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

IPSO have finally published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays last year due to Labour’s imposition of VAT on private school fees. The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published, saying it was “not in a position” to provide further information because this related to internal and confidential investigations. It argued that, having already apologised, it had taken the necessary steps and would provide nothing further to IPSO’s Complaints Committee. Here’s how @PrivateEyeNews covered the story:

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth. Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product. This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

If you haven't seen this it's worth a watch given that they want to run the county. If Doncaster's dynamic Reform leader, Councillor Craig Ward is what we have to look forward to, god help us! #ReformUK

The sewage crisis laid bare As we’ve been having a wet winter, sewage has been cascading into the River Roding from outfalls everywhere. But one has been discharging for so long (550 hours, or over three weeks) that I thought it was an error with the sensor. I decided to spend my free time on a Saturday night checking it out. It was not hard to find, as the loud noise of rushing water instantly drew me towards the right part of the site. Climbing a fence, I found that the outfall was covered in brambles & fallen trees and hadn’t been inspected in years. There was clearly a fault in the storm tanks which was causing them to spill huge amounts of sewage, even when it wasn’t raining. Even worse, the outfall itself had become clogged with years of debris, so the whole site had been flooded & become a lake of sewage, literally acres in extent. The flow was so intense that it was not possible to fully measure it, but I would estimate it was at least 100 litres a second, likely more. I checked the ammonia levels & it maxed out my checker, so I used a higher range checker which gave an ammonia reading of 27ppm: ie very concentrated sewage. Doing some quick calculations, I discovered that this one spill had poured at least 180,000,000 million litres of concentrated raw sewage straight into the River Roding, putting the health of local people at risk and causing huge ecological damage to the river. It frankly beggars belief that I, as a volunteer in my spare time, was able to discover this serious illegal sewage spill, but at no point has anyone from either Thames Water or the Environment Agency thought to go and investigate the outfall that has apparently been flowing for weeks. The time for talking has ended: we now need change and real action.

Son tried to book a driving test today - the first available was in August. The booking window closed after 9 minutes - such was the demand at 6am today. If the Govt is serious about giving young people a fair crack at the job market, the driving test mess needs an urgent fix.

The proposals for unitary councils in 'Cambridgeshire & Peterborough' (tinyurl.com/5c4ky4xh) continue the lamentable practice of applying the name “Cambridgeshire” to Huntingdonshire and to the Soke of Peterborough area of Northants. Unconscionable😤 abcounties.com/news/2028-an-…
