Whoever designed the Avanti West Coast train seats, may your pillow always be warm, your tea cold and your shower never just right

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel
> One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist.
> Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.
> Thiel, a former donor to #DonaldTrump and mentor to #JDVance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in #AI, risked courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.
> #Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the #UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.
> The Ministry of Defence is expected to spend up to £750 million on Palantir’s AI technology in return, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war.
> The deal has prompted concerns that it could be at the expense of British companies and jobs.
> The Times has previously reported on Thiel’s devout #Christian views and their mingling with his business interests and how he is among several #SiliconValley figures who have been speaking more openly about their faith. https://archive.is/2025.09.25-151156/https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/palantir-founder-peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-religion-qzmpth35t #artificialintelligence #PeterThiel #conservative #billionaire #PayPal

Ok, regarding #bluesky and #missisipi, #uk, #australia I think a great opportunity for age verification would be a company using something like @badgefed , where there only purpose is to do physical world credentials verification, and then emit a decentralized badge (18+ years old) and then companies can just use that badge to let them login.
I mean, if the badges are emitted to fediprofiles, they can even login with their accounts!
Dreaming awake I know.

Today, #r4Today platformed the detestable Robert Jenrick in whipping up hatred based on spurious stats which weren’t challenged.
As he is obsessed with the incidence of sexual offences he might like to look at Westminster, where it’s highest per 1,000 London people
Seriously, what’s the point of #Radio4Today They are #Quisling ‘client journalist’ purveyors of lies, half-truths, disinformation, misinformation & #CorporateState propaganda! I’ve tuned them out, switched them off! I’m done with their smug, entitled #WhitePrivilege #Zionist-aligned #EchoChamber!
Regime change in Iran is far harder than many assume. But if the Islamic Republic were to fall, the country already possesses the needed institutional scaffolding for democracy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/28/world/iran-is-prepared-for-democracy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #iran #elections #democracy
I find this article to be a bit disingenuous! It assumes that those pushing for regime change in #Iran ( #US, the #Zionist entity, #UK, #EU) are *actually* interested in it being a democracy! The list of countries where US #Empire has #overturned democratically elected governments is *legion*! They don’t care if the incoming regime is a dictatorship; they only want obeisance to the Imperium!
Are there any places in #London #UK that offer drop-in child minding, either as a standalone service or as part of a museum/science centre/cafe visit? I'm thinking something like at Ikea, or the Pavillion of Knowledge in Lisbon (at least when we visited in 2019, there was a staffed children's play area that allowed us a bit of a break). We could really use a few hours of child-free time on this extended #holiday. #travel #parenting
Please boost for reach.
