@neil Parents don’t do enough parenting while simultaneously coddling their kids, smothering them, doing everything for them, but also being absent.

@ChrisMayLA6 “Twice the average of continental Europe and six times that of America…” is a little disingenuous.

Power for industry is not price capped like consumer rates, but still I’d like to see what industrial rates in Germany and California are (both of which have consumer rates higher the UK’s)

@thomasfuchs We’re a species that hallucinates human features in static white noise. Draw a smiley face on a balloon and we start to think it has a personality.

"The decision not to roll out Siri AI in the EU is Apple's and Apple's only.

Apple was simply unable to develop interoperability solutions that meet essential EU privacy and ‌security standards.

Instead of trying to find a suitable compliance solution, Apple simply made a request to the European Commission to be exempted from their interoperability obligations under the DMA - and this for at least 18 months. That's not an option."

“We’re super excited to bring you Apple’s new Smart Glasses. See ya, suckers!”

UK citizens: you can sign this petition by the Creators’ Rights Alliance, to force AI companies to reveal which copyright-protected data they're using to "train" their lie machines.

Petition: Protect creators' rights: require AI firms to disclose training data

We ask the Government to introduce a statutory duty requiring AI developers to disclose the copyrighted works used to train generative AI in enough detail for creators to identify use of their work, enforce their rights, negotiate licences and be fairly paid.

@Lazarou @wawn That’s the way I wanna go
@Craigp Sometimes when making DLC the directors and brand managers are off doing publicity for the main game’s release and nobody’s paying attention as the rest of the team let off some steam
