I think we have to thank people like this for demonstrating that losing your collection isn't just a theoretical risk.

OP is saying that she "stole" from the bank, and it seems that there is no evidence to say that she even fiddled her expenses.

Your comment implies that the BBC didn't bother to look for said evidence, but I'm not convinced. How do they even know that there was an investigation? It wouldn't be public information. Somebody inside the bank must have told them. Wouldn't that person also have told them what the outcome was?

For that matter, if the bank concluded that she'd been fiddling her expenses, wouldn't it have dismissed her?

They specifically say that they do not know whether the bank concluded that the expenses were improper.

Well thank goodness that Microsoft isn't pushing AI on us as hard as it can, via every channel that it can.

The implication of saying that you need the extra scrutiny is that either the Commons doesn't reflect the will of the people; or that the will of the people is not what ultimately makes law. If the people elect idiots and get bad legislation, that is democracy for you.

Of course, FPTP more-or-less guarantees that the government has a majority in Parliament without having a majority of the vote.

Defenders of FPTP often say that one advantage is that it means that the government has a clear majority. If that were such a good thing, why would we need a second chamber to balance it?

The Lords cannot ultimately block legislation. First Past the Post is a much bigger problem.

I cannot see how they could comply with both that and the GDPR, so the UK is asking Apple to choose between operating in the UK and operating in the 27 countries of the EU. Tough call.

He probably did it to troll people and spark outrage but that does not mean that he isn't also a Nazi / fascist.

However he is also banging on about inheritance tax, which has nothing to do with whether real farmers can make ends meet and everything to do with rich, tax-dodge farmers like himself.

I don't think that the safe harbour provision should apply when the person posting is the owner of the company.

Is one of those things giving attribution? If I ask for a picture of Mount Fuji in the style of a woodblock print, can the AI tell me what its inspirations were?

AIs take away attribution as well as copyright. The original authors don't get any credit for their creativity and hard work. That is an entirely separate thing from ownership and property.

It is not at all OK for an AI to take a work that is in the public domain, erase the author's identity, and then reproduce it for people, claiming it as its own.
