I love to criticise the government, I do it quite a lot. But one thing the UK gov does really, really incredibly well is its website. The gov.uk pages are one of the most intuitive and informative things to browse on the internet. It really is excellent AS IT IS. It ain't broke is what I'm saying.
So on top of all the very valid concerns about AI accessing the information of i.e. desperate citizens looking for legal help in dire, highly private circumstances, I'll be mourning the loss of a formerly excellent resource.

why is a Labour MP regurgitating industry lies?

Real head-scratcher, that one. Reeeeal brainteaser. An honest-to-goodness Labour MP? Shilling for think-tanks? In this economy? On Christmas Eve, in the rain?
Surely not. Because that would mean...

~~We have no valid voting choice as people on the left who care about progress and compassion and social justice, and haven't since the 1970's. Different flavours of Thatcherite neoliberalism are the only thing anyone under 50 has ever known, and the seemingly endless inertia of that failed ideology within the class-captured, self-reinforcing, closed system of government means it's likely all we'll ever know~~

Probably just a coincidence.

"brevity is the soul of wit"

~Shakespeare

"Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a 'soul'? And that's not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way".

~Obinice

rude

I'm on the spectrum so I can neither tell nor give a shit! The soundness of what you're saying is most important to me.

Oh yeah, agreed 100%

She already had nine points on her licence, so she's a repeat offender, hence the book getting thrown at her.
Conversely, this happened in Oxford, which is well known for being strict on drivers. She might have got away with it elsewhere.

I'm not sure I follow you. Can you explain

In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

\\ Hello future essay writers, I hope you have accrued enough credits to keep your crate cool tonight!\\

Yeah I feel this. "Failed experiment" implies, to me, that we should forget this avenue of thought and go back to what we had before.
"Outdated concept" might have been better?
Either way we're all in agreement fundamentally

Why though? Why is it assumed that people will boycott a show/movie if it has a known paedophile in it, while brands/political parties with a mass-sex-offender at the helm are just peachy?

They use computers, or so I'm told.

Is that Northern Ireland? Could well be where "geg" comes from if so!
