But maybe could be a good place for furry dating.

Perhaps due to the same reason UK avoided tariff threats.

Spineless leader. UK is unfortunately a lapdog in this special relationship.

In the UK, it says both. One above the other.

Spineless and pathetic.

Doubt it, and he'd not want to tank the value for himself, so he'd likely go for a slow, steady sale.

I agree on the point about being clueless.

You can invest in a technology and be safe. Take nuclear power for example. It's just the risks are more obvious because of the past.

If you look at Vance, they're clearly driving this objection, and wanted us to demonstrate they are not the only ones. China is winning in AI and they were willing to sign. You can have technology and safeguards/ethics.

 

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.

I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.

AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer's decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.

We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir's Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

I think this is a gamble type thing. No win, no fee investors, but they'll make a killing if it pays off.

It's used on a few Roblox games.

Rock star devs are just devs that know the code so can do it faster, probably because they wrote it. Some just hack shit in.

No one is good enough to justify those behaviours.

Cannot say I've seen a dev do that in the UK. Anyone would get fired for throwing a chair. Standing on the table yelling would probably get then a bollocking and maybe a warning.

There is a fox in the chicken coup. It might not be a bad thing. Let's wait and see what happens. Folk always are too quick to jump to conclusions nowadays.

So the money either goes to trusts or private. If £8bn goes to private, it comes out of trust budgets which means they cannot hire as many doctors or nurses. Without extra funding, things will not go faster as NHS will get slower. It's diverting funds. It's privatisation. If they want it faster, they need to find extra funding.

They've made it quite clear they won't. Hence Streeting keeps talking about not throwing money at it and bashing on about reform. It's a euphemism for privatisation.

Labour didn't win this election without funding. We just find out who funded them and what they may have promised back (using tax payers money).

Private healthcare probably do. They're getting more NHS money diverted their way soon

 

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
