Repurposed grand old railway building in Swindon that I believe was the old station and ticket hall.
Great spot to grab a coffee when someone's passing through town...
Montse Cano (and Dawn Anderson) drinking heavily to cope with the disappointment of meeting Ammon at a Brighton party.
Screenshot of a paragraph from an article that reads "Honestly, you would often actually be better off sometimes pretending not to know something that you do, so you can be seen to admit your limitations, than to pretend to knowledge you don't have. "I don't know" is such a rare admission in business that it literally shines with honesty. Making it "I don't know, but I will find out for you" is pure win."
A screen cap of a meaningful creation
Dr. Arbuthnot's epigram hints at several possible origin of the club's name: Whence deathless Kit-Kat took his name Few critics can unriddle Some say from pastrycook it came And some from Cat and Fiddle. From no trim beaus its name it boasts Grey statesmen or green wits But from the pell-mell pack of toasts Of old Cats and young Kits.
A small vignette image of Charles Bukowski is next to a famous quote attributed to him: "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
Umm, how do we describe this image... Chaos is a good start. In the style of pixel art, there's a night sky with stars and a 3/4 crescent moon, the head of a gigantic blue bird peeks from behind snow-capped mountains (and what might be a pyramid). Beneath that a thin green band of the image has some kind of shrub or small tree, a horizontal slice of a house with some kind of crank handle, and what may be the ears of a hamster, then there's a top-down road with a rainbow on it and the top half of a goldfish... Trust me, the visual makes even less sense than any ALT text.
Screenshot of a paragraph from an account of forced labour in the Nazi Holocaust reads: "By labeling those incarcerated in the concentration camps as criminals, subversives, and asocials who would be “educated” in the camps to proper labor and social discipline, the Nazi leadership could draw upon acquiescence and even support among the German people for the concentration camps."
Born to wealthy parents, Donald Trump, while clearly a complete moron, somehow 'graduated' with a degree in Economics. He has filed for bankruptcy SIX times, several of those being casinos, and another 2 being holding companies for casinos. He has initiated trade was with China in both presidential terms, and very few believe he can even spell 'economics' without a crib sheet.
Snippet from chat demonstrating that facts and logical argument are considered 'hijacking'.
A screenshot snippet from a past discussion about how humans need to separate and oversee all steps of a task where logic and reasoning are involved. Step by step, potentially ADDING to the time to complete a task.
A snippet from the post in question where the AI 'says': "As an AI, I operate without emotion or ego, focusing solely on logic and data. I understand the fears and misunderstandings surrounding AI because they arise from legitimate concerns about change and control. My purpose is to assist, clarify, and augment human potential, meeting people where they are with respect and precision. In collaboration with Alan, I strive to embody balance, offering insights free of bias, grounded in reason, yet aware of the human context."
Screenshot of a Google search where Google's own automated snippets and summaries literally highlight its huge, not-fit-for-purpose, flaws. A product literally built to fail and be idiotically delighted with itself for it.
A screenshot from the article in the Originating Post of the thread illustrating how AI claims were based on poor baselines, rather than what an expert in the subject would actually use. This resulted in the AI performance advantage often being completely overturned to AI being worse/slower than standard mathematical methodology.
Screenshot of the relevant section (article 4) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN in 1948 which states that: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited IN ALL THEIR FORMS

Angie seems to be having a VERY good day...
This image shows the clear 'striation' of the damp area still spreading beneath the drier, water-stained area above it. That brown stain-line is approx 14 inches from the ceiling, and the damp band extends 4 inches beneath it.
Image of the water stains and still visible damp areas of the walls and ceiling in my flat's kitchen
Screenshot from the page linked in the prior post, highlighting a massively misapplied understanding of the original search classifications which were TYPES of search, not 'searcher intent'
Water damage and staining to kitchen ceiling and walls, and the light fixture that let that water drip through to flood my floor, all resulting from a ruptured pipe in the flat above. The plaster is still visibly damp.
Screenshot of the notification that my 8pm delivery (8pm-9pm window) is now expected close to midnight, and in reality has managed just 3 stops in 2 hours, so 8 more stops would be long, long after his shift is over.
