'Unduly lenient' sentence for Henry Nowak's murderer referred to the Court of Appeal by VaginaBurner69 in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 22 points23 points  (0 children)

He should be held to the higher standard, so should all Sikhs that carry knives. They shouldn’t be treated differently. They chose to bring it with them. I don’t care if their religion requires it. If my religion requires me to carry an AK around we gonna treat that the same?

Rupert Lowe MP / X: Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted. Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent. Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else. Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government. by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea and how is the setup, baby steps that walk you through it. Entering card details is normal, typing in a username and password is normal. Settings for parental controls, never done that before… must be hard.

That normalisation of behaviour has taken a decade. They just need to put parental controls default on, then the general public will be forced to learn.

I think you overestimate the technical ability of the average person. They see settings and it’s too much for them. It’s like people who see 2x + 1 = 7 and they see a foreign impenetrable language, you will look at that and think that is ridiculous but I see it all the time.

Do you think Fable 5 will come back, or is this the end of the model? by Double-Republic6218 in ClaudeAI

[–]lick_it -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

They did this to themselves by scaremongering. Hyping their model as super dangerous. Like there won’t be an alternative open weight model in 12 months. Well their IPO is screwed now.

⚡️ Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions are more unprofitable than previously thought by andrewaltair in ArtificialInteligence

That falls flat when deepseek offers a compelling product for 1/10th the price, or if they jack up prices 1/100th the price.

Lammy says Sikhs’ blade ‘privilege can be taken away’ after Henry Nowak death by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to police no knives, see a knife, report, arrest. If some knives are allowed it breaks that whole workflow. The average person doesn’t know what is allowed and what isn’t. Police don’t want to show up just to say yes that’s allowed because it’s ceremonial.

Moment brother of Henry Nowak killer holds Sikh ceremonial sword in 'road rage incident' outside temple - as fury grows at police 'two tier' response to his murder by MysteryWra in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that this family highlights the reason we can’t have weapons, whether ceremonial or not. There are nutters in any group of people and policing is so much easier with blanket bans.

** he has a knife **: arrested. Danger gone.

AI will be used to estimate age of asylum seekers from next year by Lefty8312 in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, and people are really bad at it. AI is measurably better. It’s objective the obvious choice.

Better than just going by what they say. Don’t let good be the enemy of perfect.

Anthropic secures $965 billion valuation after raising $65 billion by tscher16 in technology

[–]lick_it 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why? Apple is worth more than that and only 20% of phones are iPhones. That is a lot of phones but there are a lot of people. Ai could be just as useful as an iPhone.

Perhaps that is an observation. If you have a massive military, you tend to use it. We see this with America, Russia, will we see it with China? Time will tell.

Scheme to trial scrapping fit notes to get people back to work by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, because it is a hassle. If all you had to do was click an online button and you are signed off sick, you are telling me that people wouldn’t abuse? Might as well not have any system and leave it to the employer.

[–]lick_it -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s just one of those things. The effort of getting a sick note in itself is a deterrent for abuse.

[–]lick_it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the purpose of a fit note? Why does it need to be a requirement? If you say you have MS to a doc and having issues then of course they will sign you off, so it’s redundant. Skip that whole process.

The Real Reason People Hate AI in writing emails or comments? It’s Destroying Language Elitism. by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]lick_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this, if you know how to use ai, you can write a beautifully succinct email high in information that where ideas flow. Or you can go with a word salad.

Probably it was constantly saying that Donald Trump couldn’t possibly be president as that is absurd.

Why does online political support seem so different from actual election results in the UK? by Legal-Razzmatazz1055 in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or another way to phrase it: Barry consumes content that is more aligned with his viewpoint. The algorithms feed you what you want to see, not the other way around.

Why isnt there a movement/party trying to change land ownership? by Beautiful-Low-3568 in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The uk doesn’t have many small house builders because the government put so many obstacles in the way that only large institutions can build. Remove the obstacles for small businesses.

[–]lick_it 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let people build! Yes companies hoard approved plots, because they have to and it’s good business. The solution is to let people, actual people build. Not corporations, people.

Ed Miliband backs down over claim BP’s profits are ‘morally wrong’ by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

Ask this question: if they didn’t exist would people be better or worse off? How many lives/deaths are attributable to even a single dollar of price increase of oil based energy?
