Popeyes

A massive firm in the UK has reported itself to the regulator for using AI not once, but twice in a submission to a court.

" But before the interview, the narrator drops his phone in water. Unable to explain to Thomas he has no way to record their conversation, the narrator pretends his broken phone is working — and the interview commences."

Phone companies really need to start advertising the fact that their phones are water resistant and can survive a quick dunk in the water.

Is this the real-life equivalent of 'I'll save that +8 Strength potion for a real battle, oh the game is finished'.

Journalists should store their notebooks for 7 years.

I've always wondered why they have never done a remaster of Toy Story.

Rightmove, the property sales website, absolutely destroyed local journalism in the UK. It was written on the wall, but local newspapers had all the local listings for property and other services. A local newspaper was 60%+ of house sales, but that advertising revenue paid for local journalists to sit and read council papers and attend meetings and get people out in the community. Nowadays, local journalism, even from national broadcasters like the BBC is a shadow of its former glory.

Tech industry walked right into this one, well done Musk.

This is the experience of the lottery for a single person so the chances of winning is low. But lotteries are played by millions. Simulate that experience.

I've been bad... but I'm not all bad, boop boop de boop!

We went to America to see some family and we were discussing books and we were shocked that they had never heard of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler who are an absolute staple of UK kids book culture (so much so that they adapt one of her books as animations for each Christmas). So if they aren't on your radar, then they come highly recommended.

What a genius, what an idiot.

The 'and also' indicates that he means terrible, and this person has no taste.

We have one in our office.

A post destined to be a self-help bestseller. I look forward to the If Books Could Kill episode.

Well they are calling out for help and seeing if others have had the same problem. And you can see from the responses that there are people having the same. So we are either all messing up despite not doing anything different. So Google has messed up something and we are all suffering because of it.

Had the same issue - we have a massive register of regulated services and Google was a help for people finding those names easily.

But in August suddenly "Page is not indexed: Crawled – currently not indexed" shot up massively. We've tried all sorts to get them back into the index but with no help. It would be helpful if Google explained why they aren't indexed or have been removed. As with the blogpost every other search engine is fine.

Probably why there are endless reworkings of the site.

YouTube is just a content hose though and it does not care what it shows you, you can go down some dark routes with YouTube just by letting it play.

Their kid friendly mode is still completely full of absolute crap that you wouldn't want your kid to see.

Fontawesome?

I was going to say get a DAC, but they already had one in their setup.

Having visited the US recently I was shocked how tall the cars could be. They were essentially trucks/lorries with civilian drivers. There should be a special category of licence for those who want to do it. Or just bundle them in with the class of driver that drives a high/heavy load.

Just one line of code away from being an alpha tech bro with Elon's number on their phone.

But being a communist does mean you are more likely to be recruited if you are in a position of power and at a time of 'war'.

The point Amazon went downhill, and like all online stores, is when they started letting third party sellers sell through the platform.

It's now a black market where shady companies are trading on the good name of Amazon and selling the same products at lower products but usually from the grey market.

The only one where I have seen it improve a store (in the UK) is Next where they allow other trusted fashion brands to sell through the store.

Have a look at the update for a look at what they are talking about.

Lots of the top comments talking about how Imgur can stay out of the UK more easily and not about how Imgur can comply with the law and protect children's data.

Why is it always that regulation is the problem, not the company being irresponsible with data.
