The rewriting of 2016 needs challenging.
❌ The referendum ballot did NOT ask: “Should Britain end freedom of movement?”
It asked whether Britain should remain in or leave the EU.
Nothing about leaving the Single Market.
Nothing about the customs union.
Nothing about ending free movement.
And during the referendum prominent Brexit campaigners openly cited Norway and Switzerland as models for Britain outside the EU.
🇳🇴 Norway is in the Single Market and accepts free movement.
The Leave coalition contained several completely different versions of Brexit. The public was never asked to choose between them.
So it is simply not accurate to retrospectively turn 17.4 million Leave votes into 17.4 million votes specifically against free movement.
That interpretation came afterwards.
And if Britain is now deciding what relationship it wants with Europe, voters are perfectly entitled to decide again with the actual choices made explicit.

‘Weak leadership combined with ideological capture, perceived prestige for the organisation, and fear had all led to children being harmed.’
Gender ideology has spread like wildfire through the NHS. The casualties: kids and whistleblowers.

Translated: Unfavorable Media coverage of AI could expose the fact that Anthropic is in debt by at least $542 billion in non-cancellable cloud infrastructure commitments to Amazon and Google. Anthropic must pay regardless of whether they use the compute or not.

We celebrate Lula's re-election not because Lula is a friend of Ukraine - he clearly isn't - but as a victory against the far right, against authoritarianism and against Trump.

Tous ceux qui banalisent le racisme, qui nourrissent une atmosphère raciste et xénophobe dans le pays ont une lourde responsabilité.

Burnham is teeing it up for a manifesto commitment - and that’s the right way to do it.
BREAKING: "I will never move ahead of the British public when it comes to Brexit."
The PM has ruled out re-joining the EU within 'this parliament', but he would 'like' to see the UK return in his lifetime.

Farage touchy on the Brexit question.
He points to US GDP growth. The US has *so many* huge problems (not just its colossal debt) brewing, that that GDP level and recent growth are powered by dangerous borrowing and speculation.
I’d feel economically safer in the EU than US.
Nigel Farage says, "the opportunities of Brexit have not been delivered."

They are fucked. Completely fucked. For Reform momentum is everything. Once they lose that, it’s game over. They have no plan for when it happens either.
This is the beginning of the end for them.

The most important risk factor for Anthropic is the rule of law actually being applied.
"Any determination that we are liable under such theories, or any judicial or regulatory expansion of tort, product liability, or consumer protection law, or criminal liability, as applied to AI models, could result in significant liability and require us to change how we design and offer our models, platform, and applications."

market experts, there is a proposed community note on my post that might or might not be reasonable.
1. *could* Anthropic have shown their Q3 in the S-1?
2. if they could have what are the reasons they likely did not?
3. if they couldn’t, why not?
all you need to know: Anthropic ducked Q3 in its S-1.
that omission tells you all you need. demand has drop, economics haven’t gotten worse. and a company that is allegedly built around trust is trying to skirt the truth.

I think that this sort of statement, from a U.K. university @uniofleicester is unprecedented.

I stand with @davidzmorris! AI is just software. Importantly, it is software with serious issues.
It is past time to stop making excuses for the people who make AI and hold them accountable for the harm they are causing and the laws they are breaking.
