This is a former Tory MP writing about the Nat C conference
" It is not wrong to raise some of the difficult themes in the conference, and for politics there must be no “no go” areas, or cancellations, but dealing with them by aggression, denigrating opponents and wrapping yourself in faith and flag has a bad history."

The #NHScrisis can be seen in the length of #waitinglists for treatment;
#NHS England reports last month that 7.3mn patients had yet to start treatment. Of those, 359,798 had waited more than a year & 10,737 had waited more than 18 months!
#SteveBarclay will claim this is all about the #strikes, but as
the chief executive of NHS Providers notes ' this is 'due to years of under-investment right across the NHS, including mental health & community services'.
We are a monetarily sovereign nation.
We cannot go bankrupt.
We do not
"borrow money".
We do not need to "balance the books".

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.

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.
More on Glass Cliff Theory from the university of Exeter here:
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
