General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
AI
Its. Not. Fucking. AI.
Jfc this muck is going to make us as blind as a bat when an actual artificial sentience appears. An LLM does not an intelligence make.
I always considered the sci-fi def of AI to be the incorrect one. Once sentience appears. The intelligence is no longer artificial.
Seems to me the systems we have now that try to (badly) fake it, are real AI. And any created intelligence would be a Digital Intelligence or even just Created Intelligence.
The only true AI is the Elites in the original Halo.
What staff costs? They pay them like 10p for getting up at 6 in morning, half an hour before they'd gone to bed in their rolled up newspaper, then slice them in half with a breadknife and dance about on their graves.
What staff costs, I walk around needing help in shops and I can barely find anyone available.
