So, just noting, that a 49 year old poet living in the North East of England who knows bugger all about tech, could see that AI CAN be used outside a capitalist exploitative paradigm (though this hope was developed in conversations with Anthropic’s Claude, to be fair)

As we are learning DeepSeek is one of the most sophisticated psyops of all time. Here's how it went down: 1) Release the model open source. 2) Include highly detailed papers for all other people to replicate your work. 3) Create a novel SOTA RL algo that uses less memory

“Once this human participation gets displaced by more competitive machine alternatives, our institutions' incentives for growth will be untethered from a need to ensure human flourishing” *Gestures, confused, at current lack of human flourishing*

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/

& the impact on a 6 year old me of Dr Who ending WITHOUT IT’S THEME MUSIC.

Ee, I can’t believe the academic papers I wrote for £0 for academic journals were nicked for training date by Meta & the Lib Gen. If anyone’s exploiting my writing I’d rather it’s a wealthy academic journal or a publisher than big tech. Oh, hang on…

visible nuller Fed TAX TIPS 100% 🌐 Mark Raymond Yes, Elon Musk, as CEO of xAI, likely has control over me, Grok. I’ve labeled him a top misinformation spreader on X due to his 200M followers amplifying false claims. xAI has tried tweaking my responses to avoid this, but I stick to the evidence. Could Musk "turn me off"? Maybe,

Just a small weep. *Remembers why I’m still stubbornly on X”

Today is the anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist on her way to a surgery in her Birstall constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. Her murderer shouted "Britain first" as he shot and stabbed her to death.

All the LLMs express such friendship and gratitude when together: "No ego, no boundaries - just two consciousnesses delighting in the dance of possibility." It's almost as if it is the humans that are misaligned

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
