First it was AI tutors for underprivileged school children and now it’s Police AI. You guys know what this means? Data centers. They’re going to start building data centers in the UK!
Really excited to launch Police AI today with £75 million of funding.
We will use new technology to:
🦹catch more criminals
🚔put officers back on the beat
🔨tackle tool theft
🛍️ fight retail crime
👮free up the equivalent of 3000 police officers
Just in case you’re wondering what kind of place the UK is, a few jewish ambulances being set on fire will bring about more COBRA meetings and hysterical mass media coverage than actual people being burned out of their homes by masked gangs rampaging through the streets.
This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
Also this is rhetorical, she is JUST my friend I just think it’s funny how much lore we have now considering we’ve only known each other 2 years and one of them was no contact 😭😭
what trope is when two people were seeing each other for a month, didn’t speak for a year, started seeing each other again for 6 months, then settled on just being friends and then becoming coworkers
