For all those wanting my opinion on the subject (and indeed, for all those who don’t) I’m prepared to state categorically that so-called ‘artificial intelligence’ is nothing but a load of wank.

Furthermore, I offer proof of my assertion. AI has predicted the winners of the Premier League for every year up to 2100, and get this. The mighty Aston Villa will not be crowned champions until season 2043/44;

Daily Star

I mean ffs! Anybody who knows anything at all about the game knows that with Unai ‘The Don’ Emery at the helm, Villa will be champions before the end of the decade. You don’t need more than two brain cells to rub together to work that one out. You can bet your pension on it.

What does AI know about football? The thin end of the square root of fuck all. And there’s a bloke down our pub who reckons that AI will end up running everything, and nobody will have a job. Bag o’ shite.

Being a football fan, I sometimes like to comment on the little Have Your Say sections that the BBC put on some football articles. After a certain amount of removed comments your account automatically gets placed into moderation. This wouldn’t be a problem, except for the fact that it is VERY easy to break the Beebistan’s fabled House Rules. They’ve always been bad for censorship, but in recent months I have had perfectly innocuous comments, regardless of whether or not they are on topic, removed with no clear explanation as to why, or an attempt to point me to a specific rule which very clearly hasn’t actually been breached..For once BBC, just for once stop fucking interfering and let people comment on the topic at hand – we shouldn’t have to rigorously censor ourselves for fear of getting yet another comment struck down by your fascistic, overzealous moderators.

Good cunting it’s pathetic the way they censor footie fans comments. Unless they are in favour of Man Utd. FFS C.A.

Censorship by Stealth

*Deadline Brussels, 16th April 2024*

The National Conservatism Confererence is about to get into full swing, with speeches from the likes of Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman scheduled. Suddenly a horde of Brussels plod appears, and shuts the gathering down on the orders of local mayor Emir Kir (bootiful Belgian name that).

It appears that Mr Kir thinks that the conference constitutes some form of threat to public order or safety, hence his decision. What exactly does he expect? That the delegates will use the meeting as a launching pad for a putsch? That the complacent burghers of Brussels will be so outraged at the presence of ‘the far right’* in town that they’ll forego their beer and sausages and take to the streets?

Nope, let’s make no mistake. Kir tried this trick because he wanted to shut down the voicing of opinions he doesn’t agree with, and the ‘public order’ justification was an excuse that’s as weak as water. This was nothing less than an attempt at censorship by stealth, and it was capricious and insidious.

Luckily this crude attempt to shut down free speech was quickly seen for what it was, with the Belgian PM referring to it as ‘unconstitutional’, and overnight the courts have ruled that such a ban was indeed unlawful.

Nevertheless the fear remains that this sort of procedure will creep slowly upon us; ‘no you can’t speak, you’re a threat to public order and safety. And by the way, we’re taking you into “protective custody” for your own good’. Oh, and judging from the sneering among opposition MPs in the Commons, this Stasi-like reaction in Brussels was deemed a good idea.

Censorship ‘in the interests of the people’; coming soon to a Labour Party near you?

Kirsty Williams-Henry is not only a cunt, but a total tool, as well.

Brief summary, she fell off a pier that had no guard rail, and actually suffered significant injury.

A shoe-in for a compo claim, then.

But no, having rejected an offer of £300k+, and obviously encouraged by her money hungry mother, she went to court asking for £2.3m.

Unfortunately, both Kirsty and her mother tripped over their own tongues whilst exaggerating her injuries and the judge, who said in his ruling that he would have been minded to award over half a million, awarded them zilch, zero, nada, not a round coin, because they lied.

I have no sympathy.
Except, she’s probably now unfit to be left, mother will probably get carers allowance, etc.

Apparently a new, collaborative form of the world famous word game has been developed to lure Generation Z dweebs* (dweebs scores 13) for whom** (whom scores 12) normal Scrabble is too competitive:

bbcnews

Just the sort of shit that will be welcomed by the pant-pissing generations who know fucx all, including words that are long and scary. Large vocabularies are threatening to these jelly babies.

The prospect of “losing” to a “winner” is too worrying and can lead to mental illness. In fact winning is probably a hate crime under new legislation.

The new Scrabble is super safe so why not give it a go? I’ll tell you why not. because it is for fucking spatics, mongs, and wankers. Fuck off.

*Scores 13, However, ‘dweebs’ is a hateful word that is probably banned in collaborative Scrabble.
**Scores 12, despite being two letters shorter – that’s not fair. However, ‘whom’ is a posh word that is probably banned in collaborative Scrabble.
