Well quite. But that means that to the extent that most people know anything about grok, it's as "that twitter AI that called itself Hitler and made naked pictures of children".

All it really shows is that the British court system will sell you all the justice that money can buy.

There's a popular hundred+ million view, often reposted and requoted, tweet about this

Retweet it all you want, but it won't make it any more true.

It reduces risk for employers by piling it onto employees, who are also probably in a worse position to bear it.

So you're so utterly convinced they're lying about this because....

The same way you monitor your staff's work in general? Do they not have goals and deadlines and some way to discuss their progress with their manager?

Not sure it's ever been particularly difficult to be a criminal. If anything, the tricky part has always been establishing who you can and can't trust.

The past few years have seen attempts to get The Diary of Anne Frank pulled from libraries, along with any mention of LGBT or Black people. What makes you think that this will be used to protect kids from racial, sexual and misogynistic abuse, let alone predatory businesses?

I reckon if you applied an airport level of surveillance to go out for a drink, you'd destroy the hospitality industry in under a week.

Reddit and Twitter can buy their way out of those problems (hell, they can buy their way out of trouble for literally generating sexual abuse content). What makes you think they'll be affected more than the operator of a little Mastodon server do the same?

In theory the King can veto any law he wants. In practice he couldn't without causing a monumental constitutional crisis that would probably end his reign. His unofficial ability to influence government policy is the real issue, but one that is definitely not limited to that one guy with the special blood.

Have you considered using a more scientific metric, like the number of bugs being closed or the number of typewriter ribbons being used up?

Homographs are tricky :-)

It's worth noting that even more staid distributions like Debian provide you with the means to do this. It's arguably bit more complicated, but saves you a lot of time and hassle on the happy path.

I mean Netflix haven't managed to solve password sharing so,

As we discovered to our cost here in the UK a few years ago, increasing government debt to give tax breaks to the rich doesn't just cause huge economic damage, it also makes it difficult for more responsible governments to borrow for actual investment, however critical.

"Well you need to exercise more and eat more vegetables" is true, but it's only practicable advice if people have access to exercise facilities and healthy food, and the time to make use of them. Otherwise you may as well be blaming fire victims for not being incombustible.

...which is definitely an improvement over their previous slogan, "when the fun stops, stop"¹.

__ ¹ coincidentally what my Dad always used to say about black tar heroin.

I'm not sure how you choosing to personally save money by DIYing rather than paying a professional counts as adding value for anyone but yourself, but okay.

"And that's to make a measly 8% on my money."

Amazing how many people insist on being landlords despite it apparently being a life of sawdust and sackcloth.

I hate ads as much as anyone but they are not in any way comparable to rape. Please have some sense of proportion.

Or that having spent a trillion dollars, they have realised there's no way they can make that back on some coding agents and email autocomplete, and are frantically hunting for something — anything! — that might fill the gap.

Holy false dilemma, Batman!

This is all information the government will need to collate anyway. How much money do you think they'll save by not publishing it for others to use, exactly?
