Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

This was a very confusing post to see 🇮🇪

Oh I'm so sorry Amy 💔

Here’s an easy mnemonic to help you remember the 26 letters of the alphabet

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed?

Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

On the mafs one?

Ah, so he’s one of those people who thinks coding is “just typing syntax” and not, y’know, THINKING THINGS THROUGH

The problem with vibe-coding isn‘t that people are outsourcing the “typing syntax” part, it’s that they’re outsourcing the “planning, logic, and structure” parts

Absolutely insane that any developer thinks that typing is the time consuming part of their job. Are they single finger typing or something?

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

*sigh*

This is off the table stuff. We were meant to have moved in from this. This should finish the party unless it's seen to radically address it. And Labour should stop using Reforms popularity as a justification for its right wing policies. Of course none of this will happen

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

Wow.

The Green Party is now the most popular party in all age categories under 50 in the UK.

‘hi, grandma? can u come pick me up from my rap battle? it's over. no, i lost. he saw u drop me off & did a pretty devastating rhyme about it’

Nationally, Labour is losing twice as many voters to Greens and Lib Dems as they are to Reform. (John Curtice on BBC)

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin.

Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

Will Labour listen to this and recognise that the significant majority rejected reform, or will they continue their descent to the right?

Yes yes yeeeeessssss

They're playing dirty. Alexei is so right about this Starmer party 👇

That is not what happened to horses.

Sky Arts have the NT Live broadcast of Dr Strangelove on tonight at 9pm (I believe on freeview as well as subscription)

Labour's smear tactics have been frankly disgusting, and deeply worrying that they're all anti green without anything against reform

It was never policy. They published a manifesto for the election this comment is from, and it was not a policy of that manifesto.

It never was a policy, it didn't go in their manifesto at the time when this is from, and given their policies are all member voted it's almost impossible that it would ever be a policy.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.
