@nprofile1q... Surprised they stopped at pepper spray and didn't jump straight to mounting a Gatling gun onto a drone.

@nprofile1q... "Mistakenly"... "Desired new feature"..

@nprofile1q... As several people have already pointed out, the whole "Blade Runner" thing was in response to ULEZ. Nothing "AI".

ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zones) is about stopping everyone else having to breathe in your car farts when it badly burns its dead dinosaur juice.

However, most details got lost in a far-right frenzy mixed in with the usual anti-Sadiq Khan rhetoric. Like the fact that your petrol car is probably older than 2009 if it isn't ULEZ compliant. And that there were / are scrappage schemes to help people upgrade vehicles. And that we're talking about London (and surrounding areas) that already have a better service of public transport - and that ULEZ funds go back into further investment into...

Or the fact that "Blade Runners" wouldn't just cut down the cameras, but often the whole traffic light that the camera sat on top of... so pedestrians and other road users were at risk because they've screwed up traffic safety equipment.

But please, do continue to praise right-wing thugs that eventually got bored of this and then moved on to rioting outside migrant hostels and pinning up union flags everywhere.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I doubt it, but it would be cool if this is what pushed more people to expect better investment of public transport.

@nprofile1q... If he wins this by-election, and then still gets found to have broken parliamentary rules, does that mean there would then have to be another by-election?

I honestly don't think I've seen such a clear example of time & effort being wasted as a result of blind reliance on AI before.

Let's be clear, it probably won't take that long to fix as a lot of the work will still be applicable (as long as the implementation wasn't AI-drivel too)... but, seriously, all for the sake of not spending the time to read the actual standard?

@nprofile1q... For all we know, she was warned about this potential type of abuse several months ago by email.

@nprofile1q... Yeah, but how does their underwater version fair?

@nprofile1q... I liked the days when we were panicking about China listening in on all our telephone calls / scooping up our mobile data.

Now we just talk directly to some American company's AI and ask them to diagnose our medical problems that we're too embarrassed to see a real doctor for.

@nprofile1q... You mean that the dinner that Trump has historically avoided (after having a national sense of humour failure at one many years ago) just happened to be interrupted / he could get rushed away from...

By an "assassination attempt" - which is a well-known tactic by certain foreign actors to increase support for failing politicians prior to a notable election - which happens in a location / way that can be used as supposed-justification for one of his gaudy vanity projects?

What was on the menu for the dinner? Because something definitely smells fishy.
