Good news! The US is nowhere near Banana-Republic status. It would need: Foreign creditors to use their bond holdings to constrain US policy; A single sector's correction to drag the whole economy down; Routine transfers of power to stop being routine.

The LLM bubble - in the ‘60s Every household will pay for a Cray supercomputer; To calculate the weekly shopping. We must spend spend spend on supercomputers until they see how much they need them.

Today I amazed myself by changing the car battery. To the dextrous, a non-event. To sinister, sixty-eight me, with a bike spanner, a hammer & WD-40. A Yuri Gagarin moment. #Poem #Poetry #μvers #micropoetry

The whole process of earnest effort is pointless if directed at end points, prizes. To be of value, to be worthwhile, to be meaningful, effort can only be selfless - not in a Christian moral 'unselfiesh' register, it requires direction away from the self.

Any teacher or child gets banned from wearing a badge supporting those being slaughtered in a genocide , I would urge the teachers to go on strike to support the staff member or child,trying to bend history and the storey of occupation being told is wrong and @labouruk.bsky.social government know it

I don't mean to be patronising in including the old saw at the end. I checked a couple of LLMs to see if they understood, and they were at sea. Even though they have access to the idiom, they can't apply it out of context - part of their usual blindness.

Israel has been on the path of fascism for some time now, why our governments in the west continue to support these genocidal psychopaths is the greatest question and disgusting shame. #GazaGenocide

These genocidal fascists have such a strong sense of immunity for their criminal behaviour, this guy wore his army uniform while shooting school children.

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

Leo Hickman@leohickman.carbonbrief.org

From the govt's press release: "The developer estimates that Jackdaw will create 27 new direct jobs and safeguard 273 existing jobs that would otherwise be lost." Odd that so much is made about this being good for jobs. Your nearest out-of-town supermarket likely generates more jobs.

Neat, costly patterns; are not reality. Truth is not stochastic. #Senryū #Poem #Poetry #μvers #micropoetry #LLM #Vibe #Forecasting #Fast #Slop #Delivery #Ontology #not #epistemology #Simple #SMLs #sensibler

The Guardian's homepage right now... 1. "UK approves Jackdaw gasfield in North Sea" 2. World must cut emissions by 18% in four years ‘to find our way back’, UN says

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

bbc.co.ukUK government approves Jackdaw gas field, and says production will start this month - follow liveActivists say approving the gas field will raise carbon emissions - while the developers argue it is important for the UK’s energy security.

I've just signed the Palantir Pledge, joining politicians across the world in committing not to support any public contracts with this US tech giant. The next big battle here is to use the upcoming break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS!
