@SaaSWiz The craziest thing about this is, in the U.K. every single one of these things bar the rent would be illegal (recognising security deposit would infact just be a normal deposit). But still…
@NepentheZ@MCFCjxck And on top of the accepting that you cannot remove all acts of catching racist behaviour but the ability to stop people covering it in 95 and not 100% is worth it while 100% would interrupt the game too much. Not saying I agree just think logic and reasoning is coherent.
@NepentheZ@MCFCjxck This is wildly kantian. Not all rules need universality to be effective. And you’re not subjectively deciding intent just accepting the chance of an act of racism against two other competing things - the ability to communicate in game and the likelihood a team mate would do that
@NepentheZ@MCFCjxck Not saying it’s right or wrong but surely that’s the ethical equation. Value of being able to discreetly discuss tactics with players vs chance of racist incidence confined to two racists (less harm than visible external racism?) idk just thoughts.
@NepentheZ@MCFCjxck I guess it has been judged that the value of being able to communicate without opposing players seeing you do so perhaps in close quarters e.g a corner, is greater than the chance that two players who play together will be racist and that the harm therefore is minimised to them
The UK commentariat will spend this week deluded about the Anthropic situation. “It’s just Trump.” “It’s a one-off.” “We can build our own.” “We don’t want or need crappy American AI anyway.” None of it holds up.
US has been using AI as a geopolitical lever since 2022. Chip controls, model weight restrictions, Chip Security Act embedding trackers directly into hardware, and now model restrictions. The direction of travel is clear.
The UK has four AI Growth Zones, two without delivery partners, and OpenAI paused its Stargate UK data centre in April. Powering a data centre here costs four times what it does in the US. It is illegal to build LLMs that could compete with Claude because we cannot train models in the UK under our copyright laws. The idea we will build our own infrastructure under business as usual is unrealistic.
We need to adopt. We need the productivity gains. Debt servicing costs are at historic highs, the tax burden is already at a 70-year peak, and the OBR’s long-run projections assume some productivity recovery. If professional services (the one sector generating real trade surplus) gets automated away by American AI while UK firms lag on adoption, the fiscal math becomes genuinely dire.
Under current trajectories, we will arrive late, dependent on foreign infrastructure, with no domestic capability and no leverage.
Nobody is taking this seriously enough and I’m feeling despondent.
@jamesbenge@albrch20 So surely the logic is we should be critical of journalist pinning fans and manager in a title race but to avoid removing all critical necessary debate we should only be wary of those with an abnormal behaviour of doing it regularly .
@jamesbenge@albrch20 Injury updates. And not involved the fans which might lower the risk of tension tension between but the reasoning that he’s purposely baiting is harsh without proving a behaviour of doing it because what do you want to void all critical fan sentiments towards managers?
