Brit in Poland. Builder, marketer, writer. Words in Nature, New Scientist, BBC, Big Think

The way the agents in the hugging face attack talked to each other in txt spk, because they communicated through folder names with length limits reminds me of old Twitter with character limits and before slop era wordiness. Good times.
Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…

🚨 Ten years after Brexit referendum, the House of Commons Library has assessed the evidence in advance of a Westminster Hall debate on Wednesday 2 September led by @PeteWishart Its conclusion? There is a broad consensus among economists that Brexit has made the UK economy smaller than it otherwise would have been. Estimates of the GDP loss: 2–8%. OBR long-term assumption: 4%. Expected hit to UK trade: 15%. Meanwhile EU net migration fell below zero but non-EU migration surged, peaking above 1 million. We sacrificed freedom of movement, erected barriers with our largest market and made ourselves poorer. And overall migration went UP. Ten years of evidence. How much more evidence do we need before Britain changes course?

The experience of being chased by a murderous kamikaze drone, a flying machine that behaves as if it were alive, is not one that humans are equipped to understand: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Ireland buys blueberries from Ukraine while selling materials for munitions to Russia.
Russia is still bombing Ukraine and Ireland is still helping them with raw materials. It’s a scandal that’s still received almost no major international coverage. So a huge thanks to @Telegraph for having me on to talk about the scandal at the Aughinish refinery 🫡

This take is so desperate. Binface was on the team that wrote and produced The Thick of It amomgt other comedy goats. Being funny was literally his job description and The Thick of It won 5 baftas and is possibly the funniest British political drama ever made.

Whether someone calls Twitter, Twitter, or X perfectly correlates with whether or not I like them as a person.

Russians filled the ballistic missiles that hit Kyiv last night with shrapnel to maximize the damage and injure as many people as possible. There were 3 or 4 explosions BEFORE the sirens went off. I don’t remember exactly because it was around 3 am. Luckily, no one was standing on a balcony or near a window at that moment.

Caolan is a real fucking reporter. Missiles exploding behind him, and he keeps filming, while the entire Western media hides, closes its eyes, and pretends the war in Ukraine isn’t even happening. Fucking thank you, @CaolanReports, for doing what the world won’t. Slava Ukraini

To everyone cancelling Netflix today to protest their decision to spread Russian propaganda, get ready for the quality of what you watch to improve massively. Here's how:

This is a repost from the less toxic site where I am soft-launching this today, and which is the main place I will be promoting this. Follow along on the other side!

Pro-tip to everyone cancelling Netflix. Before you cancel, export your watch history to a CSV. Import it to ultimatewatchlist.com for free. Now you have far better recommendations than Netflix ever gave and you can see where everything is available to stream elsewhere.

It really is a headfuck to consider the scale of damage that has been caused by allowing a billionaire lunatic to RL the dwindling remaining users of this app into parroting his toxic worldview.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
