"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

Doctor who left patient during operation to have sex allowed to practise

theguardian.comDoctor who left patient during operation to have sex allowed to practiseMedical tribunal rules ‘very low risk’ of Suhail Anjum, who had been dismissed by hospital in Greater Manchester, repeating behaviour A doctor who left a patient midway through an operation to have sex with a nurse is at “very low risk” of repeating his serious misconduct, a medical tribunal has ruled. Dr Suhail Anjum, 44, and the unnamed nurse were caught in a “compromising position” by a shocked colleague who walked in on the pair at Tameside hospital. The consultant anaesthetist had asked another nursing colleague to monitor the male patient, who was under general anaesthetic, so he could go to the bathroom. Continue reading...

As the Israelification of America blunders on like a fat, masked, armed racist buffoon so the Americanification of Britain hurries to catch up like a wheezy minimum wage arsehole yearning to take it out on someone, ideally a foreign teenager. Fuck this shit, we're better than this.

Just done the #saucony10k through central London. Love a 10k, love London. Don’t care what the haters say, it’s the best city in the world! Added bonus - my wonderful stepdaughter Anna ran it too

Absolutely hilarious self-own. “The average American has 3 friends…” Oh, Mark. All that money and yet..

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

We bought our house 18 years ago, and a lot of the garden was overgrown with ivy. Last summer I cleared a whole load of it away, and found a very mature clematis underneath. This spring it’s flowered for what must be the first time in over 20 years, maybe 25. And it’s amazing!

I'm not saying the April Fool didn't exist - I'm sure there was a very foolish person who lived in or around the month of April. But he probably wasn't the son of God.

I have 2 tickets to see From The Jam (with Bruce Foxton and the brilliant Russell Hastings) at Guildford on April 4th, which I now can’t use. Happy to pass them on at face value - £40 each. It’s set to be one of the last shows Bruce Foxton ever plays, so it’ll be emotional!

Complete turnaround at half-time by Chelsea. Lucky not to be 2-0 down, but then absolutely bossed the 2nd half. Man City must be wondering what happened. JRK immense, Erin fantastic. Whole team stepped up. A great 45 minutes. And I’d say that’s now probably the WSL won
