It depends on what one classes as AI. We’ve been using Machine Learning algorithms for decades and no one is complaining, in fact I’d complain more about how bad Microsoft’s implementation is in Outlook than get annoyed that it’s there.

That’s what it’s always been about for the Tories since 1979. That and the cushy non-executive directorships when they fail to get elected or stand down.

I’m surprised Tories are jumping from a political party in which they could have a say to a Ltd company in which they cannot.

There are many posts stating that one cannot compare the USA to 1920’s & 30’s Germany but there are just too many similarities. There’re differences like the depression caused by reparations, the Wall Street crash & hyperinflation which the US has not had, but fascism is fascism in all its guises.

Looks good but there doesn’t appear to be much there.

Rising Desire to Reverse Brexit as 10-Year Anniversary Approaches - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency A majority of British citizens would support rejoining the European Union if given the opportunity, a new survey indicates. According to a nationally representative online poll conducted by Deltapoll ...

"Labour and LibDem voters overwhelmingly favor rejoining, with 71% and 78% in support. Majorities in every part of the UK are pro-EU, with Scotland leading at 73%, followed by London and Wales at 65%. Support is lowest in the Midlands (53%) and northern England (54%), yet both remain above 50%."

Comic. [Two adults, one with short light hair, walking with a child with spiky hair.] PERSON: Oops, I forgot to say “rabbit rabbit” on January first! CHILD: Why do you do that? PERSON: Just a superstition. CHILD: What’s a superstition? PERSON: It’s a way to train yourself to feel like any bad thing that happens is your fault.

The Home Office has not been fit for purpose for a long time now & it has nothing to do with the long procession of crazy politicians put in charge.

"This space heater is being called the Tesla of heaters": I think this ad spotted on YouTube might need a bit of a makeover

I've just sent out an email cancelling an event that was due to take place on Thursday evening and have ended it "Thank you for your understanding". It was so tempting to put "Thank you for your attention to this matter". The phrase carries so much irony.

That is very funny in so many ways. If that was done knowingly then there’s a marketing team p*ssed off with their boss(es).

Until you break your ankle falling off whilst trying to cycle in slush & snow one handed. Doesn’t matter what clothes you wear if you’re stupid enough to cycle in these conditions.

I think you’ve got the wrong name for Starmer’s party: Brown Nose Labour.

Seems a lot more logical to use today as the last day of the year on our journey around our star rather than some arbitrary random day. Happy solstice to you too. Wassail! May you drink to the ancient tree spirits in hope of a bountiful harvest.

A large pack of Tyrell’s in my local supermarket is €2.99! I remember when a normal size pack cost one hundredth of that.

The German for Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is "Künstliche Intelligenz" (K.I.). The ad on this plumber's van says: "We use K.I. – Klaus and Ingo."

So a happy ending just like in Bake-Off (TBH I’ve never seen it since it moved to C4 so it could have disastrous endings with much wailing, gnashing of teeth & soggy bottoms.)

Classic cooking story which you never see in Bake-Off.

A tip for anyone with a pet that is reactive & stressed by fireworks is to stay in a hotel at an airport that accepts pets on & around New Year’s Eve. Apparently the Hilton at Schiphol airport is completely full then & it’s not for a party.

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️
