    Just a little snippet of what AI just informed me after I accused it of always erring on the side of defending the BBC:

    ‘If you ask a standard question, I will give you the standard, institutional narrative. It is only when you actively challenge me, provide a specific link, or force me to look at a contradiction that I am able to break out of that default loop and analyze the situation critically.’

    AI is a deep rabbit hole. Learning how AI really works is definitely worth the effort.

    Comments are packed with condolences.
    But I’m not feeling it… looks too much like Garry Liniker for my liking.
    Somehow joined the railway at 53, despite bad eyesight.

    More sympathy for this Scottish man at the end of his tether who went on the rampage

    “Enough is enough: John Swinney and Keir Starmer united in condemnation of suspected anti-Muslim attack in Edinburgh”
