Apparently none have been seen over Epstein island

The UK mostly doesn't do voter suppression. However, they did for the Referendum. Basically, anyone who might not be racist was not permitted to vote.

Even then, 48% still insisted on staying in the EU.

One of the reasons the UK doesn't do voter suppression the way the US does is because (until very recently) the House of Lords had a lot of people in it who owed no favours at all to the political elite but did have a huge responsibility to making sure that things functioned in the long term. This has since been corrupted, so the HoL is no longer anything like as independent and politically neutral as it once was. Rather, the two main parties have stuffed it full of sycophants, which makes it useless. Which, of course, was the intended effect.

Because those in the HoL were partly hereditary (and therefore not under anyone's thumb and impossible to manipulate) and partly chosen on actual merit (they'd done stuff that was actually impressive and good for the country), the HoL were the true guardians of the Constitution and the nation. The House of Commons has always been corrupt and degenerate, so a parallel system that politicians couldn't control meant their worst excesses would always be curbed. The HoL has defended the common person FAR FAR more often than anyone in the Commons ever has.

This didn't make the HoL perfect, or even advisable to retain in its historic form, but it made it immune to the corruption that we were seeing in the rest of the system. What we needed was a replacement system that retained that immunity and improved on it.

Although there is a right join, no far right join has ever been defined and there's no signs that it would in fact be possible.

Yeeees and no. It matters in terms of loans he can get from banks. A trillionaire gets an awful lot better deal than anyone else.

So although he cannot liquidate a trillion dollars, there's a decent chance he can borrow at exceptionally low interest rates enough to do pretty much whatever he wants because he has the moniker.

It's not hard to be morally superior to a childish self-righteous socipoath.

He's not bright, he's not clever, he IS abusive, and he is exceptionally rich. However, only an idiot equates "rich" with "better".

I would say more than half of Slashdot can match or exceed his intelligence. And that's despite the fact that Slashdot has attracted pet rocks as users in recent years. Actually, truth be told, it's because of that. Back in the younger days of Slashdot, I'd say 95% of the regulars were smarter than Musk.

All Musk has is money. And I can understand you envying that. But here's the thing. Smart people don't talk their company's value down. Smart people invest their money. Musk throws it around, such as buying Twitter and destroying the userbase.

Musk is not your friend.

Is that correct?

I'm trained as a righty (born ambi) so my fighting stance is left side out, left arm blocking, right arm striking, initially.

That results in hips and stance angled to my right.

I'm cross-eye dominant so I always second-guess, but I don't remember the other students in martial arts class being different.

I don't know about empty rooms, but it's very normal in Britain, if you're walking through a field, to turn left and walk clockwise around the edge of the field. But the problem there is potential for bias because of the area.

When rambling through the British countryside, the standard protocol is to turn left immediately on entry but then walk clockwise around the field. So turning left seems to be fixed, but the direction of preference is determined by when.

True Threats have a legal standard and specificity of person, place, and time are elements.

Criminal Threatening usually has a state statute.

The summary sounds much more like "muh feels" and conclusory pleading so it's probably not true to the legal standard.

How many arrests were made?

Also getting arrested for a social media post is a special kind of stupid on all sides
  Posts are almost always powerless and can just get you in trouble. Don't do it to blow off steam. Or for clout.

Not worth it, get out there and take action if you mean it. Don't blab about illegal fantasies.

like a bounty-seeker scorned.

Shoulda just paid 'em.

He sounds quite knowledgeable and it looks like he'll continue whipping Defender until morale improves.

It's worth noting that the black market would pay handsomely for most of his discoveries but retribution is sweeter than cash.

I get the sentiment.

Criminals is the excuse, an AI Surveillance Police State is the point.

Everything in the rule is sensible for a dictator.

Anthropic are responsible parents and never let a child process wander the streets on its own.

Seriously, I'm just not seeing the supposed benefits from AI at this time, just a very large number of risks.

That is precisely why it is considered extremely bad practice to have developers test their own code beyond basic sanity-checking. Developers will inherently test with the very same assumptions they made when they coded, so will never capture the areas in which their work is most likely to be fragile.

Unfortunately, QA teams just aren't up to decent QA. They tend to miss all kinds of very obvious problems and flaws. In part because deadlines matter more than their jobs and they know it.

Look up what an "average" is
