Richard LittlerAs an autistic person who doesn't particularly like conversing with people (or, rather, I don't really know how to comfortably interact with people), I don't particularly welcome AI chatbots/search engines that mimic human conversation. When they design the functionality of these AI chatbots, has anyone taken neurodivergent people/brains into consideration, or are they designed to mimic neurotypical interactions? I'm thinking long-term.

HughsterOf course the Tories have appointed the anti-trans professor who hosted Helen "reduce the number of trans people" Joyce as a "free speech tsar" tasked with forcing all other universities to accept anti-trans speakersāmere months after they put him on the EHRC board that's now trying to remove trans rights from the Equality Act. Because this is a far right government and, just as DeSantis said, they're trying to turn the UK into Florida.

John PettigrewWent for a lovely walk today to see bluebells in a local wood. We're a bit late in the season but it was lovely to see not just the bluebells but loads of cowslips, speedwell and other lovely spring flowers!
AnarchoNinaWritesTruly astounding to me how many people there are out there worried about being punched just because folks are talking about punching nazis.
Let me clue you in on a little history? Pretty much every waking moment between about 1941 and up until roughly the late 80's, everyone thought it was okay to punch nazis. It was so okay, running them over was a joke in the Blues Brothers movies. Guess what didn't happen? A chaotic mess of people punching folks who aren't nazis.
You're telling on yourself.
Richard MurphyThe Tories might have removed the right to protest but Labour let it do so https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/07/the-tories-might-have-removed-the-right-to-protest-but-labour-let-it-do-so/
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why donāt we just let it go?
I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...
