The politically engaged are a depressingly small number and the problem is exacerbated by our lovely MSM turning many blind eyes. Yer average punter is too busy complaining about pot-holes and whinging about paying the tax which fills them.

we're tired of hearing "it's just a tool" because, well, a) we disagree and@atax1a
It can be a tool when the user of the tool can verify the result. Not all tools are of equal quality. My experience producing a really quite Micky Mouse app (for instance) using CrapGPT, it generated badly written code, which at least worked. However, it hallucinated constantly in development saying “This will work”, remaining unrepentant in the face of syntax and run time errors; even blaming me. Sadly when the app needed a tweak I was abruptly hung by my own petard. -
The British Museum has removed the word #Palestine from displays about the ancient Middle East following complaints.@Geri Starmer is a self confessed Zionist. Whilst he probably has no authority to directly effect the change, he sure as hell has the influence. It’s a disgraceful thing to do.

The Swiss government has ended its contract with American analytics company Palantir, after federal agencies in the country rejected Palantir at least nine times over seven years.@gypsyvegan @gcluley
See, it is the advent of this sort of desperately poor judgement that leads folk to say Starmer is a crap PM. I’m not sure he has any fire in his belly. He seems to do as he’s told by which ever swivel-eyed autocrat he thinks he trusts. McSweeney and Steeting come to mind for some reason.
