Also would probably be classed as a national treasure. She's bonkers. Maybe she meant Fuzzy or Yogi bear?

Don't 'discriminate' against the cohort who have historically engaged in alcohol fueled violence and mayhem at football matches. They have rights too 🤡. Meanwhile, row back on the rights of the victims of discrimination - immigrants and trans people, etc.

But that's not the Generative AI that's been developed and that we're all being pushed/encouraged to use. They've all been trained on our data without our permission to generate wealth for arseholes. It's not good in any respects.

It's shit that it was trained on people's work without their permission and then is used to plagiarise their work and make them unemployed.

There is also plenty to hate about 'the technology' tbf. The theft and plagiarism of peoples work, churning out bullshit and its vast energy and water requirements all come to mind. What are its good points?

The poll wording is dodgy. It should highlight the black shirts, all male and balaclava clad aspects of the participants, and ask if that is ok or not. And should we really ignore their motivation when evaluating their legitimacy? Of course we shouldn't. Small boats are not 'legitimate concerns' ffs

This would have been a much better strategy for the Terminator. They could have sent the Vend2000 model back in time to hang out in the sports centre foyer and wait for John Conner's dad to buy a coke. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Verminator.

The same as the 20mph speed limit introduction in Wales. Massive reductions in road deaths and serious injuries. Savings to the economy and NHS. Opposed by idiots on X and Facebook and the right wingers

It's adding to the narrative pushed by Reform and based on misinformation about immigration. They're not pushing back against Reform's main policy which is massively helping Reform.

That is reforms only real policy isn't it? And Labour have unwisely decided to pander to it rather than offer a well thought out realistic and humane alternative.

The current reality is that LLMs solve nothing, whilst they are destroying the creative arts and enable oligarchy, inequality and authoritarianism.

This strategy was not without consequence. Rather than standing up for the victims, the helpless and against the monstrosity that is Trump, Starmer appointed Mandelson. This wasn't just a case of terrible judgment, it has also exposed his lack of morality and decency.

TV comedy is crested as comedy. It is not trying to kid you that it is real at all. AI slop is pretending to be real. It is utter bullshit.

Aren't the SMRs at Wylfa tied in to powering proposed data centres in the North Wales AI growth zone? That doesn't sound like a very green investment!

This isn't how most people see terrorism though, is it? Terrorism involves actual physical harm against civilians. Our government is changing what terrorism actually entails, in an attempt to bully the population. Damage to property isn't a terrorist offence. That's what they did.

We can't afford to fix the NHS, dentistry, the justice system, schools etc, but let's build some artificial tax haven islands. What a prick. I propose a nobhead tax where proponents of ideas like these get taxed and extra 50% + community service for a decade.

Those maps are nowhere near comparable in size. The contiguous USA is 8 million km2. Ukraine is 0.6 million km2.
