But the benefits programme having AI help you create some kind of list of things you want?

There was a thing called something like a preferences engine at the beginning of the web - AI my arse.

Just making a note of things people might like and acting on it, which the advertising engines have been doing forever.

All of the external systems the company I work for now seem to have some kind of "AI" add on.

Total marketing b.s.

The AI is people guessing what features you might like and adding them so you get some faux feeling of personal service.

The writing tool (Notion) sorta works, but they did some licensing scam that means if you use it a lot it will cost a fkn fortune.

If you're writing headlines and some tool is writing the paras - just send me the fucking headlines, FFS.

@francis "you must be a Catholic", and it's the teacher that was inappropriate? Jeezo.

I like following people who oppose NHS privatisation. If that’s you, could you pls share this post and follow me, and I’ll follow you back? Trying to find ‘my people’ 🤣💙

Yes, @frasernelson is actually claiming that @fullfact -and others who point out falsehoods from politicians and the media - are a threat to free speech.

Glass Cliff Theory holds that once the boys network have decided a CEO job is too hard or the company unsalvageable THEN they give it to a woman. And when she fails they blame it on her.

So if/when Space McAfee boasts about appointing a female CEO to Twitter, remember that.

Warped hallucinations are indeed afoot in the world of AI, however – but it’s not the bots that are having them; it’s the tech CEOs who unleashed them, along with a phalanx of their fans, who are in the grips of wild hallucinations, both individually and collectively. ... These folks are just tripping: seeing, or at least claiming to see, evidence that is not there at all, even conjuring entire worlds ...

While the country kids itself that we have all come together for a royal celebration there are still people more concerned about how they feed their families. People concerned if they can keep a roof over their heads. Lots of people thinking I have to sleep on the streets every night, so why the fuss over a few royalists camping out to get a glimpse of the king.
My kind of patriotism is making sure we have a fair society and the vulnerable are cared for. #SocialistSunday #KeepFightingFascism

@ihrf I can’t work out why anyone is even slightly surprised by this. During the miners strike, it suddenly became illegal to drive down certain roads, but only if you were a miner. The police can do what they want and make it up after the event and always have been able to. Then it comes down to court, who has the most money or patience, and the things they want to do achieve has been achieved anyway.

I’ve deleted Facebook and Twitter back off my phone. They’re designed to give you that serotonin rush and you end up, not paying attention to things and people you should be paying attention to. Mastodon doesn’t do this.

I never really minded the royals. Didn't even think about them. They're a soap opera I don't watch.

But if you wanna turn a "don't know" into a hardcore republican, spend £100m on a farcical party for a bored billionaire while people are starving, then arrest anyone who tuts.

No, this is exactly what Britain is and this is what the British police are. It’s just that it didn’t affect you before, so you didn’t notice. twitter.com/mikegalsworthy/sta

Happy Ignore A Hereditary Billionaire's Taxpayer-Funded Hat Wearing Party Day, for all who celeberate

The other thing about the billionaire gets a gold hat. Trope is that the gold hat is covered in stolen gems. This is something that people need to be aware of the empire was thievery on a grand scale. It’s reckoned that something like £3 trillion was taken from India alone.

If,as Sir John Curtice suggests, Labour are doing particularly well in Brexit voting areas doesn’t that confirm that the 2019 result was less about Mr Corbyn and all about Brexit, something Starmers mob have long denied.

RT @gabundy
It is *insane* how completely the 2017 General Election has been erased from the minds of the melt media and political class. Utterly unhinged behaviour. Real-time historical revisionism.

@lisanandy I didn't. Who would put their faith in turncoats?
