“You’re absolutely right. I meant left”

@AlexFinn Can we claim it for the UK? Deepmind are based in London. Or at least share it?

Do you even understand what this means? An open source model just released that is: • Outperforms models 20x its size • Can run on a base model Mac Mini • Is AMERICAN 🇺🇸 If you have a base model Mac Mini you can have unlimited super intelligence on your desk. For free. Sonnet 4.5 was released 5 months ago In 5 months that level of intelligence went from frontier to free on your desk And not only that, can run on any basically any computer out there If you have even a remotely modern computer, do the following immediately: 1. Download LM Studio 2. Go to your OpenClaw and ask which of these new Gemma 4 models is best for your hardware 3. Have it walk you through downloading and loading it 4. Build apps with it knowing you are using your own personal, private super intelligence on your desk The people denying this is the future are so beyond lost.

@cwestword In other news, water is wet.

“From July to September, erm Gas usage especially by families and pensioners, is the lowest of any months of the year, because it is the summer months.” This pearl of wisdom is brought to you by Rachel from accounts.

@JamesMelville Somebody should explain the concept of a ‘Plan B’ to him.

It sounds like an April Fools’ Day joke…but sadly it isn’t. It’s Ed Miliband’s energy policy….which goes something like this…. “Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Lets fail to improve gas storage facilities, Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

@0hour1 I think we did our but for adoption of English in the US though. Thank you, but please learn to pronounce and spell things correctly

Everyone in the UK would be speaking German if not for the United States.

@NotThatHughes So America is responsible for our poor GCSE German outcomes. 🤔

People truly overestimate the ability of the British to learn different languages

@iruletheworldmo @mweinbach I expect nothing would get done if everyone/ everything was a genius

@mweinbach he means. imagine if another china just came online but they’re all geniuses. each and every god damn one.

Completely irrelevant, but when he says country of geniuses does that mean a country worth of geniuses or an entire country made up of geniuses?

@trikcode No they won’t. He hasn’t got a clue what he’s on about. It’s the usual CEO ‘why can’t all my people do exactly as I say’ bullsh*t. You need the middle to tone down lunacy and implement things properly

So Jack Dorsey wants to replace middle managers with AI. Everyone is worried about devs losing jobs. Turns out managers will be the first..

@Ed_Miliband @DailyMirror It’s through homegrown power yes. But it doesn’t all have to be clean.

Energy bills are falling today as a result of action we have taken on the cost of living. The route to energy security and lower bills for good is through clean, homegrown power that we control. My latest for the @DailyMirror👇 mirror.co.uk/money/we-conti…

Surely one of the biggest arguments is that in a country where the welfare bill is high, having more highly paid jobs will help. Whether we sell the oil or not, a more thriving economy generates more tax revenue. More jobs means less spend. And it’s going to be produced anyway so why not get in on the action

Strange how those crafty Vikings keep on finding more oil and gas in the same North Sea that Mr Miliband assures us is empty. exhausted and run dry....

@latimeralder It’s amazing what can happen when you look for things

@Artemisfornow Three of the most out of touch people the UK has ever produced.

Don’t think an energy crisis will stop this man! …. He thinks the world is watching the UK self destruct in awe. When really they are just laughing 💣

@DCheverere probably got to do a school drop off, post a parcel and pick up supplies along the way

They’d get there faster if they went in a straight line. Simple math. Not sure how they missed this.

@MichaelAArouet Leading by example, with no-one following.

Eye-opening. OpenAI is planning to use more energy than the UK or Germany in 5 years, and more than India in 8 years. And that’s just one company. Can someone please explain how the UK or Germany will save the planet? Does it really make sense to sacrifice their economies?

@clivesinclair @unearthed2023 @colinwalker79 Yes, the free money tree. The one they produce every time shortly after they say there isn't one. I'm not an eco-warrior. Just think we need more energy from every source. Abundant energy should drive the economy

@Midmanplay @unearthed2023 @colinwalker79 And who would fund all those subsidies and incentives? The free money tree? Of EVs are perfect why have personal sales stalled?

‘Pump anxiety’ from soaring fuel prices prompts surge in interest in EVs’ Is it any wonder? Filling up a diesel now costs £100 Charge an EV at home, and you’ll do the same number of miles for £10 ft.com/content/870fd3…

@gailcweiner @Mr_Sal_ Of course, due to a diet high in shrimp and low light at the bottom of the loch

@Midmanplay @Mr_Sal_ Yeah but the pink monster is definitely real

Undeniable evidence that Nessie the Loch Ness Monster is real has been unearthed. Haters will say it's AI. #LochNessMonster

@buccocapital Oh dear. Looks like you’re a non-believer. Please report to our reeducation camp

You must understand that every tech executive has AI psychosis They’re puking out Claude-generated markdown files full of hallucinations asking if this means they can fire 500 people They’re turning Google sheets into the shittiest vibe-coded apps in the world

@jack No it isn’t

everything is programming

@djcows This actually seems like a good idea 🤔

Startup idea: chimney turbine to generate electricity from fireplace smoke
