against all odds, AI has created something even less appealing to me than watching a normal episode of Doctor Who

IGN@ign.com

The BBC's new director general has described a 50-minute AI-generated episode of Doctor Who as "pretty good," and suggested that the technology now enabled the creation of content "at the standard of a Hollywood studio." https://bit.ly/4rD8rmh

Remember, if you're worrying about getting your GCSE results today, then don't stress: the fact you're on Bluesky strobgly suggests that you're actually 45 and having some kind of a psychic breakdown!

I don't like Starmer. I want him to step down. But I don't think he should. His possible replacements are much worse and we've had utter chaos for a decade and a half. Perhaps we should let our leaders serve their term and think a bit more critically who we vote for next time.

This day in history. 1938. Hitler appointed himself German High Commander and renamed the Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg Centre for the Performing Arts to the Adolf J. Hitler and Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg Centre for the Performing Arts.

Disappointed that a brand as prestigious as YOLAAH would release dangerous and defective products. If we can't trust YOLAAH, who can we trust?

when I was a child, films and the media gave me the impression that as an adult I'd be gargling all the time. Now I'm nearly 40 and I can't even remember the last time I gargled. Really makes you think.

I avoid googles "AI overview" wherever possible, out of principle. Last weekend I was out in North Yorkshire and saw an interesting monument, so I took a photo and thought I'd try to use google Lens to give me a bit more info: (1/3)

Later that day, I did some *real" research. That isn't Stoodley pike. Not Catherine House Farm. Not Cragg Vale, Not graffiti. The sheer confidence in which this tool is incorrect is incredibly dangerous. I revert to my previous stance - Useless, harmful bullshit for idiots. (3/3)

With Musks "wealth" being made from big leverage on overvalued Tesla stock, he would ordinarily now be in BIG trouble. We're about to find out how much power he *really* has, and how low the US administration are willing to go. I'm not hopeful that the answer to either q is going to make me happy

It's actually much worse than this. They *all* know Russia is responsible, and they *all* know that the rest of the world knows they are liars. But they don't care because the truth only matters to honest people, and the honest people aren't in charge anymore.

If you think these people will ever accept Russia is responsible for what's happening in Ukraine, you're as deluded as they are.

Honestly. This is exactly the kind of outrage farming that ruined Twitter. One Google search. Parkland shooter, Florida, 2018. Prosecutors pushed hard for the death penalty. A jury didn’t back it. So what exactly is the point, here? With thousands of reposts. An ounce of critical thinking please.

If Labour had been better with their comms, talking more about inheritance tax changes affecting "landowners" as opposed to "farmers", then nobody, beyond the minority of very large landowners actually affected in real terms by the change, would be sitting on a tractor protesting in London. #r4today

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

you could waterboard these people and they would just lay there, grinning and blowing bubbles.

I'm 100% convinced people who have christmas lights on the "strobe mode" are missing about three quarters of their brain.
