Wonder if people in the massive online gambling industry have similar moral predicaments

The solution is to use 2 AIs and ask the other one if the first is going to lie to you

Never watched non-celebrity traitors before. Hope we get to see some outtakes at the end where everyone pisses themselves laughing after doing their best 'serious' faces 🀞

πŸ”΅ Conservatives say wrong thing.
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Reform says wrong thing is not wrong enough.
🌹Labour says they understand why people want to do the wrong thing.
🟠 Lib Dems say wrong thing is wrong but from a zip wire so nobody can hear them.

🟒 Greens say wrong thing is wrong.

Not that difficult, is it?

On a much smaller scale, our primary school did a similar thing with iPads. Get the kids hyped up they're all getting iPads BEFORE telling the parents that we'll be paying for them.

Fantastic news that living hostages have finally been freed. Bet there will be a fair few 'security researchers' keen to take a look at that computing equipment tho.

Last patch for Win 10 22h2 is issued tomorrow, which means in reality, your PC is secure for at least another month anyway.

Each time a u turn comes, it discredits the "why we absolutely HAVE to do this" justifications provided by the ministers a little bit more. I'm all for changing plan if the facts change, but if every policy just ends up being "actually we were just testing the waters" then people will stop listening

Pretty stark example of how easy it would be for some people with bad motives to show similar footage to DJT of streets burning and 'Antifa' terrorism.

If anyone knows the secret sauce that determines if my kids need dragging out of bed, to get dressed and to eat breakfast vs today where they got up, got dressed and were sitting at the table eating breakfast when I got downstairs then I'd be eternally grateful, thanksπŸ™

Just get on with Digital ID cards. Look at EU, rip it off or collaborate. Do it properly, and roll it out.

Also, this is the boring tedious stuff that's made for optimising with machine learning.

What makes me more annoyed is that you have people before their life in politics, talking sense and making bold statements, that once they've been homogenised and sanitised by the party machine, they're but a hollow shell of the person you voted for
