Martin Geddes has been waging his one man legal crusade to expose and ultimately invalidate the legal mechanisms that are used to bewilder the unprepared, who are "taken to court" by a due-process-free system (= "taken to the cleaners").
" ... no process has authority unless it first proves its standing in truth. This is the difference between tyranny and order ..."
"I have asked the AI engine to reverse engineer the implied doctrine I am working with, so that others can see how I am working, and adapt and improve it"
Not to mention using it for themselves.
"This elevates the use of AI above mere productivity ... it becomes a high-level thinking partner"
So if you feel like taking on a challenge ... you are never alone with an AI!

The last working blast-furnace in the UK is going down.
Can nothing be done to save it?
Short of shipping it to China (where cheap coal is abundant) as a free gift, probably not.
After all, it requires coking coal that it could have had locally from a proposed mine in Whitehaven - but that conflicted with the Government's Net Zero policy so it couldn't.
So instead of giving it a viable source of supply, the government in its infinite wisdom sought to give the Chinese owners a £500m bung (for a totally impracticable "conversion to green energy") if they would only take the problem off its hands, an offer which the Chinese, being sensible businessmen (whether also CCP spies or not), could plainly see wouldn't make the business viable.

I've never heard of Perplexity.ai, but it sounds like it might be appropriately named.
Patrick Wood (of Technocracy News) explains what he asked it for and what he got.
" ... they don't want my voice heard anywhere on the internet ... "
Maybe there's something in this AI lark after all ...

As one might expect, it's a little less forceful here than in the US, no doubt because Elon hesitates to involve himself in the internal affairs of another nation, but from small beginnings do large happenings grow.
And who can seriously dispute the need for a UK "War on Waste"?
No doubt Sir Humphrey would be apoplectic at the idea that his fabled Civil Service - the "Rolls Royce" of government support and administration - might benefit from a bit (or a lot) of slash and burn; but maybe, in the words of the song, "the times they are a-changing".
My only fear is that the project may be in danger of overwhelm - the occasional stories of totally profligate, even illegal, waste that sometimes leak out into the open speaks of a hidden mountain range, vast tracts of unnecessary expenditures that probably continue long after the initial needs have gone away, purely because nobody had the initiative (and/or the bloody-mindedness) to simply cancel them when no longer needed.
After all, "something must be done" is a rallying cry, whereas "something must be undone" has negative connotations that some may consider unseemly in public service.
