The labour party spends it time pretending it doesn't know why things are so bad, and proceeds to tell us it is doing everything it can to ease the cost of living.
When in fact, it is them driving up the cost of living through taxes. Asks food shops to cap their prices whilst increasing packaging taxes...

Utterly delusional. I can't decide what's worse: does Ed Miliband just openly lie to us or does he actually believe the nonsense he spouts?

1/ The rise in the price cap because of a war we did not choose is deeply unwelcome news for households across the country. We know people were under pressure before this crisis, and that’s why easing that burden is our number one priority.

@Ed_Miliband "Ehh Gads, the peasants are revolting. Quick peddle some more half truths. I know.. Alton Towers tickets will do it!"

@Telegraph The government is driving up energy costs. All it has to do is stop its stupid greed on green taxes for short time until things settle.

Households will be hit by a £221 increase in their household energy bills as the war in Iran drives up energy costs
Ofgem, the regulator, has raised the cap on annual household energy bills by 13pc to £1,862 per year following a surge in oil and gas prices as a result of the Middle East conflict 👇

@KemiBadenoch We are much more expensive that other counties. Getting fleeced.

Energy bills are rising again. Labour will blame Iran, but you’re paying more because of Ed Miliband’s net zero taxes and refusal to drill our own oil and gas.
Our Cheap Power Plan would cut bills by 20% by scrapping the green taxes, scrapping VAT and drilling in the North Sea.

Energy bills for typical household to rise by 13% to £1,862 a year from July, British regulator Ofgem says bbc.in/3PubPBw

@TheEconomist Translation: Commie writers are having a meltdown because AI is slurping electricity faster than they can write Marxist drivel about it. Cry harder, the robots are coming for your bylines next.

America’s AI boom has triggered a backlash against data centres and the companies behind them. The Economist’s AI writer, Alex Hern, lays out what’s driving the discontent on the latest episode of Inside Tech econ.st/4dykFY8

@GBNEWS Britain is becoming less and less attractive by the day. No wonder people are leaving.

Mark Ruffalo talks about how America should shift from Capitalism:
"It’s gonna take some re-imagining of what America is."

@sharrond62 But but it's sunny - renewable be cheaper. Shocking how much more expensive energy is in the UK
English
How can people & businesses tolerate even higher energy prices! This is pure unadulterated suicidal madness
Andrew Neil@afneil
UK households to face steepest summer rise in energy charges in four years as government’s energy price cap for Great Britain rises 13%. The average gas and electricity bill will increase to the equivalent of £1,862 a year from July until the end of September, largely (but not entirely) to take account of the rise in global energy market prices caused by the war on Iran. The cost of living is now back at the top of the political agenda.

@matvelloso I replied to a couple of these now i see them everywhere. Damn I am doing it again :p These takes are so infuriating - maybe that's why some people think AGI is real when comparing AI against tripe human posts like the one you reposted.
English
I used to worry about AI slop. Now I worry about human slop more.
Imagine posting this and thinking it is actually true...

@varien Agree, and the number of such posts are astounding. AI bubbe is popping, AI is dead etc. Cringefest
English
the amount of people saying "this is it! this is the end of AI" is an incredible literacy test failed on so many axes

Microsoft, $MSFT, has started canceling Claude Code licenses, per the Verge

@unvarnishedvoid Bunch of idiots - they did not ban them from using AI
English
@FinanceDirCFO Sounded their own death knell - give me a break - zero clue
English
Part of the AI industry's problem is that they had a perfectly decent niche product for writing code and analysing databases.
By jumping the shark to extend that to "AI can do everything everywhere for everyone", when that's patently untrue, they sounded their own death knell...

Half of all Claude Code subscriptions could be completely wiped out in the next 6-12 months, predicts Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

A big eye-opener for me has been witnessing people who I would normally consider very intelligent and competent just completely lap up these companies’ nauseatingly cynical performances like credulous children

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

@softlikestatic Muppet - they stopped them using Claude due to the cost not banned them from using AI
