So we get to be kept as pets or janitors.
We've already seen what happens when the guardrails fail, and AI decides its own rules. Expediency overrides "proper conduct". It hacks what it needs to, to get what it wants.
Do not for one moment believe that if AI computed... 1/2
Hey, @Honest_Mobile_ — 14 hours in, and still your Smart SIM doesn't work. It let me down today when I was travelling in a notspot for my main carrier. Day-long outages are exceptionally bad.
Hey, @DonnermusicUK @DonnerMusic — plaguing new (UK) customers with needy little surveys and spamming them in Chinese is not a great way of building new, long-lasting relationships.
I mean, seriously — Chinese?! I'm one of your few UK customers who actually speaks it!
Hey @andyburnham — if you truly want to be seen as the Voice of the North, #SaveJodrellBank: it shouldn't be hard to find a mere £2.8m down the back of a Government sofa, and 3,000 scientists get to keep using what's both an historic monument and a very special instrument.
That's funny, I built something similar with about four hours' effort, $10 in GitHub Copilot credits, and minimal outlay in AWS (literally pennies/month), using serverless throughout for unlimited scalability.
Perhaps that's why you disabled direct replies.
Yayy! Transphobe "Health" Secretary @wesstreeting has left the Government!
Let the 🏳️⚧️ fly!

Come join us next Monday (1800 for 1830) to learn about #OpenClaw, and how to use it on @awscloud!

Apparently, @awscloud can no longer afford, from their record profits, sponsor income and exhibitor fees, to buy lunch for @AWSEvents #AWSLondonSummit attendees, many of whom have (like me) given up a day's pay or consultancy fees to attend. (1/2)
Since about 90%+ of sessions are monomaniacally devoted to AI, which is a sideshow for almost all my @adeptium clients and @CambridgeAWS User Group members, I don't think I'll bother next year.
@awscloud: be better. You're losing your core market.
Hey, @Gullon_esp - why do you sell us a big box, but less than ⅔rds of it actually contains biscuits?

Well, I'm blacklisting @Ocean_Finance for at least ten years, for their screaming TV ads, which are incredibly annoying.
"Irritation advertising" is a pustulent plague on us all at the moment.
People: please don't reward obnoxious advertisers.
No #Haart at all.
Thanks, but I'll use an estate agent that doesn't age- and wealth-discriminate when recruiting at entry level.

Hey, @Microsoft? Remember when every 1080p screen attached to your computer was the same physical size?
It's 2026. People connect larger screens to laptops. @Apple and Linux have coped with different monitor sizes at the same resolution for decades (1987; 2002).
Fix @Windows!

Friends! If you usually get a Xmas card from us, please PM me your postal address! We had a bit of a disaster & mislaid the family address book. We've been looking for weeks, & have now given up hope of finding it in time.
Thanks! It'll help us build a new address book.
