@PositiveAddik@AaronBastani What science? It is one of many attacks on our civil liberties by Starmer. Limiting jury trials will do fuck all to deal with the backlog as anyone who works in the CJS will tell you
@HLchippyville@Nikhedonia11@floboflo All actions are motivated. The question is whether it was politically motivated. 10 days in custody and there does not appear to be any evidence of that.
On this day in 2003, David Kelly, the man who tried to warn the world about the lies of the British government’s claims that Iraq possessed WMDs to justify the illegal invasion, was found dead.
He was one of Britain's most respected weapons experts and raised concerns that the government's case for war had been exaggerated.
The BBC reported that the infamous claim Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes had been "sexed up" to strengthen the case for invasion. Dr. Kelly was identified as the source.
Just days later, on the 18th of July 2003, he was found dead near his home, the official story was that he had committed suicide. Many do not believe that narrative.
No stockpiles of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were ever found. David Kelly was proven right, as Iraq was smouldering in ruin.
1 million people were killed as a result of George W. Bush’s and Tony Blair’s lies. The entire region was destabilised, and ISIS and Al Qaeda rose as a result.
this is an insane bit of "saying the quiet part out loud"
journalists & the former prime minister openly saying "Britain is not a sovereign state, our democracy is a sham, and we're all lying to you about it... and that's a good thing!"
@ryan_wain Yes, you find it so impressive that you got ChatGPT to write your copy. Bag carrier for Tony Blair 🤣 have some self-respect man. Hate to break it to you, but there won't be any safe seats left in a few months
Sure lads, but look: if you ever find yourself implicated in somebody else’s serious crimes and the cops are wheedling with you to incriminate yourself, then I too would advise you to no-comment every question. *Especially if* you are innocent and had nothing to do with it.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
