Grok, google, openai all spent billions and billions training their models. Now they go head to head on a chess tournament. you don't have to play a lot of chess to have a giggle.

This could happen here if our next government went for mass deportation. I think illegal border crossings should be punished with heavy fines instead of treatments like this.

Take the case of the doctors that Jonathan mentioned. They may have studied here or have only worked here. We don't know their history. As far as our NHS recruits from overseas is concerned, I don't see any problem. Countries don't hold their citizens slaves. That doctor that our NHS recruits...

If you believe a free world is a better world, you would not be so hostile to freedom of movement.

Doctors like everyone else can freely choose to work where they like. You see that in digital nomads.

That is the world I feel most at ease in.

A few days ago, I watched on TV a lady in her late 50s early 60s being interviewed. She runs an English bar in Benidorm. Her bar was festooned with a few large union jacks on the walls. She was asked: why did you move here? She answered: there are too many immigrants in England.

What are they, really? Living cost, jobs, education, health care, pension. The number of asylum seekers remains pretty static, around 25 to 50,000 per annum for years, with or without Farage making a national crisis out of it. Are you saying that if they don't settle here, our problems will go...

We are where we are because we voted for the two party system. I follow very closely US politics because of the many similarities and parallels and also because of the stock market. The chaos that MAGA has created can easily follow us here. If you think France is much different, on MAGA, it...

What have you done to your sense of proportions? There are permanently some 8 millions plus asylum seekers in the world. I am sure you don't want to deny them their right to seek protection. So what is the rough number of asylum seekers should we take on every year? Where do we put them? How...

If you value protection from harm and social cohesion, you might see UK's and EU's anti hate speech laws as justified and necessary. So where do you stand? I am not surprised that some people think that free speech should be totally, absolutely free. Imagine a world you will be arrested based...

You can probably see that in your region. Reform controls local government. How well do they do in your opinion? The problem of the time is the masses misunderstand what democracy is. It's not giving absolute power to those elected who thought they have the mandate to be Kings.

I watched her shedding tears at PMQ. Was it genuine tears? I don't know but TBH, it's a great title but often thankless porfolio as you already pointed out the dilemma, taxes and spending. There is still the QE magic tree. UK is in need of a centre right party to create a proper opposition to...

Is it that long? 8 years? I remember you started the debate about EVs on here. I discussed EVs with my wife now and then. She knows I wanted to buy an ev. Her objections went from it's expensive, few garages would know how to service it if outside the main dealer, expensive replacement...

The threat of Farage winning the next election is not very high but high enough to destabise the UK economy. ChatGPT suggested to me: Maintain higher allocation for UK stocks against French stocks but favor: Dividend stocks (FTSE 100). Domestic-focused companies (FTSE 250) over multinationals...

Agreed. The EU is as a laboratory of political possibility. A place where Europe chose not only to rebuild but to try something new: to govern itself without dissolving into conflict, and without surrendering to empire. Whether this experiment succeeds remains uncertain. But its very existence...

last Friday, China successfully conducted a 30-second test firing of the Long March 10 rocket's center core with its seven YF-100K engines that burn kerosene and liquid oxygen. The primary variant of the rocket will combine three of these cores to lift about 70 metric tons to low-Earth orbit...

From the same ChatGPT: A strict philosophical definition of fascism is tricky because unlike liberalism or socialism, fascism didn’t emerge from a coherent body of philosophical writings—it was more a political movement than a systematic doctrine. Still, scholars (especially philosophers like...

His exposé is an academic work, not the usual opinion pieces you see on youtube. He tried to see how fascism came about, phisosophically, throughout history, from the 1800s through to present day. He started with Marx and Engels, the struggle of the classes, Gustave Le Bon on the sociology of...

The ability of your code to talk to various LCDs is a very attractive feature.
