One must hand it to the Tories - they are really working flat out to keep us (and the rest of the planet) entertained. Ever since the dour Cameroonians and poor old Teresa, they have massively increased their amusement value (presuming one doesn't rely on such vulgarities as money to maintain any sort of lifestyle).

Edited to add: Alas, I'm not convinced that dear old Rishi can meet the standards of his immediate predecessors.

You had to learn to reject spurious data - which was a valuable lesson.

This reminded me of a counterexample. I heard that at one point a certain search engine decided to try a new design and initially it seemed to be performing terribly. Upon closer examination however, they discovered that it was performing so much better that their bot detection algorithm was being triggered and erroneously rejecting the data showing the improvement as spurious. So one must learn to distrust data of all kinds...

I learnt a new word the other day: resistentialism - the belief that inanimate objects are out to get you.
I have long suspected this to be the case - now I know there's a word for it.

If there's a word for it, it must be true!

Resistentialism is a jocular theory to describe "seemingly spiteful behavior manifested by inanimate objects",

I knew it.. nice definition too... ha ha ha

The really remarkable thing isn’t just that Microsoft has decided that the future of search isn’t links to relevant materials, but instead lengthy, florid paragraphs written by a chatbot who happens to be a habitual liar - even more remarkable is that Google agrees.
