@JamianGerard Nonsense comparison, there is no robot that can convincingly paint with oils. Nor even acrylics.

the hypocrisy is baffling

🙏

@Mr_ian_B I usually begin with a bike ride.

I don't know what to do today

@DavidCBismarck @Issybeatz_ If your prompt mentions Hemingway then no. If you make a prompt that achieves this result without mentioning him that would be interesting and noteworthy.

@JCheall @Issybeatz_ If I came up with a prompt that recreated a novel by Hemingway, would I be the author?

“I made this with AI.” No, you typed a fucking prompt into a box. You didn’t make anything.

Does the chief rabbi himself decide which days he’ll appear on #r4today, according to the requirements of damage limitation?

It’s not clear why this charisma-free man is being given such a generous, largely uninterrupted slot by #r4today.

@HowToAI_ Half the people I know just parrot established arrangements of words too.

Apple has published a paper with a devastating title: “The Illusion of Thinking” It argues that AI models, no matter how brilliant they may seem, do not understand what they are doing. They do not solve problems. They do not reason. They merely generate text word by word, trying to sound coherent. Apple tested the most advanced reasoning models in the world on controlled puzzle environments. They tore open the internal "thinking" traces. What they found shatters the narrative that we are getting closer to AGI. Current models don't scale with complexity. They have a hard mathematical cliff. And they do not degrade gracefully. They collapse. But here is the most unsettling part. When a problem gets too complex, the AI doesn't use its remaining compute to try harder. It just gives up. Its reasoning effort actually declines. It stops thinking and starts guessing. Then Apple ran the experiment that closes the casket on the reasoning debate. They gave the AI the exact, step-by-step algorithm to solve the puzzle. The cheat codes. All the AI had to do was follow the instructions. It couldn't do it. Performance didn't improve at all. When the complexity gets high enough, these models fail because they cannot actually execute a logical sequence. They are not reasoning. They are just pattern matching. When you give them a simple problem, they overthink. When you give them a hard problem, they collapse. Paper: The Illusion of Thinking, Apple, 2025

@Unionbuster GBNews. 🤡

'Completely preposterous!' M&S boss launches furious attack on Rachel Reeves's supermarket price cap plans #BBCBreakfast #r4today gbnews.com/money/ms-boss-…

@CraigMurrayOrg @Jackiew80333500 Falling for propaganda is exactly what electorates are for.

I understand that Thomas Massie lost his primary because of incredible spend on attack ads by the Israel lobby. But it nevertheless says something extremely depressing about the electorate who fall for such blatant propaganda.

@helmortart Twaddle. As pointed out by many Jews, the problem is this.

Israel is the most explosive and divisive country in the world. Just mention it and people will fight with teeth, kicks, and punches. I’ve asked many times why. The only answer I ever found in the silence is this: they are Jews, and people hate Jews. Not politics. Just Jews.

@mikestanford01 It’s largely so that the bbc and #r4today can operate under some sort of perceived divine right innit? #tftd

Maybe #TFTD should permanently shut its mouth... completely redundant these days... catering for a small minority of fairytale believers... #r4today

@rushicrypto No, it’s much more like the invention of mechanical reproduction, printing and photography. The artists we now revere are in many cases those that adopted those new technologies.

I have heard people claim that the reaction people are having against AI is the same reaction people had when the internet started to be introduced. And as someone who was there at the time, I can tell you NO IT FUCKING WASN'T.

@MaisonGladys In my recent experience this is achieved by stocking less variety.

Where is the evidence tht UK supermarkets are 'more competitive' & offer better prices than european ones? #r4today

No way, the arms evolved shorter? Who knew? #r4today #yesway

#r4today reporting is somewhat shy of the implications.

@PJTheEconomist @AllisonPearson If lower then yes.

Lost for words. Never thought I’d see a British govt trying to set food prices. If there is one highly competitive sector it is food retailing. Do we really want to live in a country where the state sets these prices? thetimes.com/article/3ec704…

@OliverKamm @woodgnomology Fair, I’d put the border at the river Trent.

Privately educated London lawyer believes Nottinghamshire is in the north of England.

@AndyBurnhamGM Empty sloganeering. Flesh out this ‘change’ or sit down.

Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

@David90shaw @pussyquiet Unless he means redistribution of wealth and opportunities it’s a mere slogan.

🚨 Andy Burnham just announced that a vote for him is "a vote to change Labour." Change what exactly, Andy? You have been a career politician at the heart of this exact same broken party for 25 years. You were literally in Gordon Brown's cabinet! Swapping Keir Starmer for Andy Burnham is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. You are not an outsider bringing fresh change. You are the exact same failing establishment in a different suit. What an absolute joke. 🤡📉
