The problem is AI is more of a sales term than anything else. If a politician is talking about buying AI, they're most likely being duped into paying more than they should be for the technology - the terms you listed wouldn't sell for as much. Meanwhile, that same politician is talking about cutting public spending elsewhere, on things people actually need.

The UK can be a leader in snake oil all by itself!

Yeah you get reduced hours with a number of things, particularly buses. Shops have more incentive to stay open, though.

Classic examples being Good Friday running like a regular Saturday, Saturday running like a regular Sunday but Easter Sunday is as normal because everything is already sparse enough.

Is it just me, or does that photo look like both Trump and Boris at the same time??

FYI for anyone it concerns, clicking "Disagree to all" on the cookie screen of that website definitely still accepts the "legitimate interest" crap.

Yeah, this article is saying they're ready to do something they're already doing.

The one thing I would say on top of your comment, however, is that North Korea have generally been less interested in attacking other state actors and more interested in monetary crimes, like when they stole millions in crypto. China and Russia generally don't devolve into that kind of "petty" crime; not sure about Iran though.

Lol was thinking it might not have been a good idea to move back to East Anglia, but hey ho..

I would lean towards there being chickens available, but KFC doesn't want to pay for them. They want one supplier to provide all of it, rather than a bunch of smaller suppliers.

But you're absolutely right, this is the kind of question the author of this article should have asked.

Their chicken generally isn't that great either.

Such a bullshit article using Trump in the headline when talking about what a gay Republican Senator said. Trump has famously disowned his mentor/lawyer when he got AIDS and it became apparent that he was gay. Graham might have his nose painted by Trump's ass, but Trump doesn't look his way.

Datacentres are indeed shooting up all over the place at an astonishing rate. I know, I'm involved in them. However I don't think they need such protection from the government - the companies building them already have enough money (and the datacentres themselves make a ton of money) that they don't really need handouts.

Delaware is where a lot of the Ukraine PrivatBank money laundering ended up being spent.

 
 
 
 

I figure it's probably time this community has some formal rules, that way I can properly justify wielding a ban hammer from time to time. So far we've skirted by without a single report or any issues I felt worthy of attention, however someone finally broke my duck and sent a report.

This place is nothing without the users that visit and populate it with content, though, so I'm creating this post to ask you lovely folks how you think the community should be run.

Here's a set of rules I totally made up myself and didn't steal from somewhere else:

Rules

  1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No porn.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.

I'd also probably throw something in there about AI images, but I can't be bothered to write that now and my dinner's getting cold.
