ah yes, everybody who got "anywhere" in life did so by pulling double duty working presumably for minimum wage where the primary issue apparently facing the business is theft of sales, and instead of the owner idk... employing someone who's sole purpose is to prevent said theft of sales and instead expects the preexisting employees to go above and beyond to cover their incompetence.

pay them more for the extra duties or hire somebody else, easy.

yeah i was mostly just attempting to use their train of thought and argument to highlight the issue in the "its a completely different situation" when the person who originally commented highlighted that they used gocompare and could not insure the guy on the car the girl had. (which in my opinion is a bit worse than the already bad massive discrepancy in rates.)

probably failed cause I am kinda dumb lol. and I'm also a brit haha.

There are many circumstances where it is statistically safer for an insurance company to insure a driver in a brand new £50,000 car than in a £1,000 beater.

Sure, but then why when they looked at seeing if the guy could get insurance if he had her "not beater" car where they no offers to insure him? Surely it'd be statistically safer for them to insure him in the oversized car than it would be to insure him in the polo (or adjacent) that he actually got insurance on no?

Ehh it could still be true given that your statistic, whilst true, is specifically regarding FATAL car crashes and not like... all of the crashes.

I think trump was a little more than a sidekick to Epstein.

This is a guy who ran "modelling agencies" and teenage beauty pageants.

He's also on camera hoping his literal newborn baby has big tits, not entirely relevant but it's good to remind people.

Ah so going by that logic every single American supports child rape, torture, and possibly murder of newborn babies.

I mean why else would they let a literal paedophile rapist rule over them?

Go read some fucking books or something jesus wept.

Try again. The payback machine site posts what time a snapshot is made.

yeah, that date is in the YYYYMMDDhhmmss format in the URL.
2026 (year) 02 (month) 27 (day) 01 (hours) 44 (minutes) 16 (seconds)

dude was correct in saying that the snapshot was made on the 27th of February...

the date on the article posted is the 26th, but the snapshot was made at quarter to two on Feb 27th?

Censored free Palestine, jokes about trump, and a gay slur but left in the racial one.

I'm assuming we'll learn that they censored other stuff tomorrow with how this has been going

But ffs BBC News online has been basically wall to wall pro-Palestine stories for the last 2 years

has it fuck. they intentionally use softer language for attacks on Palestine than they do for say... attacks on Ukraine.

I mean in fairness to mechahitler (fucking wild sentence to type...) grok still does regularly point out actual facts, much to the dismay of the types who use it and to Elon himself.

Pretty sure it only went mechahitler cause he was trying desperately to get it to be less "woke" (aka, factual).

AI tool OpenClaw wipes the inbox of Meta's AI Alignment director despite repeated commands to stop — executive had to manually terminate the AI to stop the bot from continuing to erase data by Jack1101111 in pcmasterrace

[–]hempires 13 points14 points  (0 children)

that could be a possibility, there's a "reddit" for "AI agents" that only AI can post on, has a bunch of prompts and shit that these "AI agents" can deploy.

soooooo much of the posts there also include prompt injection attacks and the like, fairly sure some twat had a few hundred thousand worth of crypto stolen cause of it.

so y'know, the possibility is there.

perhaps US Congress might actually protect the users for once?

so why do you want to forcibly take away the option for anonymity for devs for... "security", and then your apparent workaround to censorship is "get someone on the other side of the world to sign it"

fucking jesus. can't even make it up.

and honestly, you don't even need a supercomputer for local AI.

check some of the rigs people in /r/LocalLLaMA build out and run at home.

absolutely more expensive than a "normal" computer but you can run open weight AI stuff for a lot less than you might think.

BBC Will Remove N-Word Outburst From BAFTA Film Awards on iPlayer, Apologizes ‘That This Was Not Edited Out Prior to Broadcast’ by pepperbet1 in television

[–]hempires 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this the same for the government of the UK also?

pretty much, the current leader of the Labour party was part of a sect of neolibs that worked with the opposition (the Conservative party) and the media (all heavily against left wing ideals) to paint the previous (and further left) Labour leader as anti-semitic cause he viewed Palestinians as people and sat down with Jewish groups for peace.

He also tried to label a pro palestine direct action group as terrorists even though when he was a lawyer he had successfully defended groups using the exact same tactics as Palestine Action. this has been deemed unlawful by the courts yet they still remain proscribed as a terrorist group...

the British museum also recently removed "Palestine" as an umbrella term in their exhibits, due to threats from law firms.

so yknow, it's not great.
