"Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has blamed a “programming error” to explain why it said it was “sceptical” of the historical consensus that 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust, days after the AI came under fire for bombarding users with the far-right conspiracy theory of “white genocide” in South Africa."
The image in my mind at the moment is the usual scene at the end of a story at the feast - Cacofonix gagged and tied up prevent him singing...
If only we could be spared MuskofoniX's free speech absolutist utterances in some way.

There is a nice picture of HMS Daring and Diamond with HMS Gloucester (Type 42), showing the relative heights of the radar on the new and old types.
The 2 active VC-25A's are pampered machines and don't have as many hours on them as something in commercial service so they should last much much longer.
Trump is putting unnecessary takeoff/landing cycles and mileage and maintenance on them by his frequent trips to Florida for weekends spent at the Golf course. Not to mention a quoted $200,000 per hour cost - where's DOGE?
Hopefully, this will get through to him

No idea if Mark Zuckerberg had Penguin on his plate during his year long challenge to "to eat only meat from animals he slaughters himself" during 2011

I think Linus is likely to restrict himself to the occasional Chocolate Biscuit type of Penguin
"The keyboard is fluff and a bit of fun. This is ElReg, get used to it"
ElReg is a "Red Top"...
Wait till someone spots Linus tucking into a Penguin (chocolate biscuit) to see a headline along the lines of "Linus eats Penguin!"

@Gene Cash - With reference to the above post by @gv, see below for background on the Unicomp keyboards...

"The buckling spring “Model M” keyboard, invented by IBM in the 80’s; popularized by Lexmark in the early 90’s; and manufactured by Unicomp for the past 25 years is regaining its status as one of the best keyboards in the market."
Official comms going over a channel under the total control of His Muskness.
If/When they get around to messing with the NTSB and FAA comms and force them down the same route, what happens to comms that relate to Tesla and SpaceX? Will they be subject to a "special algorithm"/filter?
... but the relevant scheme is likely to get £50 million ($67 million) in funding.
As I was reading the article, I was thinking of the likely funding that may be allocated to it, and thought of £50million - then to see that's the figure mentioned in the article.
You can trust the UK Government to deploy a butterfly net to catch a tiger.
