Totally agree about Gove, it’s very much a stopped clock being right two times a day.

I don’t think it’s AI as such, I think it’s been about longer. A British politician famously said in 2017

I think the people of this country have had enough of experts

I think that attitude is much more wide spread than just the uk.

Elon names stuff after things in The Culture, but he’s Joiler Veppers

Did you export the photo using the srgb color space?

Honestly, no idea. It took me about 5 minutes to work out how do export at all.

Do you find darktable easier to use?

:/ I’m not sure if it’s my screen but I’m not seeing a pink hue and can’t actually see what’s different with your edit.

How’s this? Went back to the raw in Lightroom mobile because I’m familiar with it, previous edit was done in RawTherapee which is so much more complex.

Or just support a different group that is calling for freedom for Palestine but hasn’t broken into a military air base and vandalised some planes.

A lot of the people that have been arrested aren’t protesting in for Palestine alone, they’re protesting that that specific organisation shouldn’t be considered terrorism and the overreach of the law that has been used. Their whole intention was to be arrested. That was the protest.

Yeah, only a fool would take the whole summer off. Everything’s so expensive when the kids are off school. Couple of weeks in early spring then another couple in autumn, then a week off at Christmas and week somewhere in the winter. Gotta spread the little holiday we get out.

if you say anything in support of palestine

You can say stuff in support of Palestine just fine.

You can’t be in support of abspecific group called Palestine Action because they’ve been designated a terrorist organisation. Whether that group warrants being defined as a terrorist group based on what they’ve done so far (obviously there could be intelligence that the public aren’t privy to) is dubious.

❤️ thank you.

Also it’s much easier to triple a small number than a big one.

Yeah. That makes sense. But given the extract of the article says the uk didn’t take it seriously makes it seem that this “discussion” probably amounted to a proposal by openAI the uk asking how much, and then openAI giving a price. With no further discussion after that.

Worth it though.

Those close to the discussion say Kyle never really took the idea seriously, not least because it could have cost as much as £2bn

It’s a non story. Sounds like someone from openai proposed it in a more broad conversation, the minister asked how much and that was it.

Nice steady revenue stream. I don’t think they’re profitable so are clearly looking for more money.

OpenAI: We could give everyone in the UK premium access for 2 billion a year.

Minister: Lol fuck off.

Look how the government is discussing wasting money on this they’ll do cuts and raise taxes.

Someone who was 15 in 1985 would be in their mid 50s now, not 40s. Sorry.

Hopefully insurance will be prohibitively expensive as well where there so dangerous.
