Was discussing AI slop with someone earlier. 90% of content has probably always been rubbish. The difference is, now everyone can make it. Perhaps the next big career is Slop Sommelier. “Ah yes, a fine, hand-prompted 2028 ChatGPT vintage. A delicate ensemble of Midjourney, subtle notes of Claude, and a delightfully understated hallucination on the finish.”

Would I get arrested for posting this in the UK? Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning. Britain read it as an instruction manual. 62,000+ arrests for "communications offences" in five years (~34 a day). So I made a music video about it.

Apple need to cut ties with Creation Finance asap because what is this mess. Site’s been down for over 48 hours with no way to sign my agreement, zero communication or timescales on when it will be fixed @Apple

Starmer: “By the end of this parliament”….. “You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital Id, it’s as simple as that” Welcome to 1984 people.

TDD (Test Driven Development) used to be slower, but led to more reliable code. With AI agents, I think that’s flipping to: — it’s now way faster and still more reliable. That changes everything. #AI #TDD

Can't get away from the future...

How long until the first line of a developers CV read: “Actually knows how to code”?

I can’t remember the last time I used Google.. except when I’m too lazy to type a full URL. I believe I’ve now totally switched to AI for my searches

#Putin is the bad guy, I’m 100% sure. I used to think it was #starmer and the corrupt #eu but I watched the #bbc and read the papers and now see the truth. #RussianUkrainewar He wants to invade Europe probably tomorrow. Here’s why:

This is just crazy. No wonder those so called conservatives turn wet as soon as they work out how to cream it
If this doesn't make your blood boil, nothing will. Thank God for Elon Musk and DOGE!

We need to drastically raise the VAT threshold. Once your turnover hits 90k, your business is forced to charge VAT. What do thousands of businesses do? Hover just below the threshold, understandably deliberately refusing growth. It's that, or whack the price up for non-VAT registered customers. The current threshold is suffocating British small business - anyone dealing with it knows just how frustrating it can be. People talk of red tape strangling growth - here is just ONE example. Double it, at least. Incentivise growth, and what will happen? Businesses will GROW. Slashing back paperwork and bureaucracy which consumes SO much time. It's that, or pay someone to do it. MORE cost. The people designing and implementing the rules don't run companies, they don't understand business. And it shows. I want a red tape bonfire visible from space. Do that, then the economy can think about properly growing. Start with IR35, and raising the VAT threshold. Plenty more must follow... And actually, most importantly? Listen to the people running small businesses. They know better than the politicians!

This is one of the UN judges who ruled that Britain should hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, putting a strategically vital US-British base at risk of Chinese interference. Her name is Xue Hanquin. She is a member of the Chinese Communist Party. This is what Starmer indulges.

What complete simpleton designed the so called “express drop off” at #LondonLuton airport. It’s named wrong. Should be “ripoff slow drop off”

Who on earth invented these avanti pendolino west coast trains. Can’t fit anything of note in the overhead bays, cramped seats, no window in many seats.. horrid experience. And more expensive than hiring a car !
