Literally sacked in the morning.
EXCL: West Ham United have sacked Graham Potter. He informed the squad at the training ground this morning. Many of the players are shocked by the timing of the decision. #WHUFC

Some 🚨 work news 🚨 to share: I’m now The Independent’s senior tech critic. Still doing more of the same – playing with new and weird gadgets, sighing through the barrage of AI slop. I’ll also be commissioning, so I might pop up in your inbox. Looking forward to what’s next!

Mitoma started one game under Potter, at left back against Forest Green. He should not be claiming any credit for his success, he refused to play him and when he did it was 5 minutes at the end of the game out of position

In San Fran for the 1st time. Tour guide said to come here & not even look at a menu, just ask “what are you making today?” We did that & the very old waitress said “yes I make you food” and took our menus and walked away. This is about to be the best meal of my life.

Sorry but why isn’t absolutely every single person talking about the fact that those two astronauts that are stuck in Space are now hearing mysterious heartbeat sounds and no one know what it is. THIS ENTIRE STORY IS INSANE
Yesterday I waited on the Wembley accessible ticket line trying to get Oasis tickets for over six hours, and then got cut off. I called up 446 times before being put through to hold music at about 9:15am. Shambles.

When you leave OpenAI, you get an unpleasant surprise: a departure deal where if you don't sign a lifelong nondisparagement commitment, you lose all of your vested equity: vox.com/future-perfect/2024/…

Really warm reception for slow burn Bird (with surrealist surprise at the end) from Andrea Arnold. Here’s the 7-minute standing ovation. #Cannes24

This is giving such “female character as written by men” vibes.
Why is she so obsequious and flirty?
Mega ick.

This video is a great advert for why you shouldn’t buy the AI Pin
Here's 20 minutes of me walking around my neighborhood asking the Humane Ai Pin a barrage of different questions and seeing how the AI would answer. No cuts, just one 20-minute continuous take. In reality, you'd never use the Ai Pin for 20 minutes nonstop — it's designed for brief uses, not continuous use because that's the opposite of being more present
