  1. @PoliceStateUK
    Had a sight test yesterday - same optician I've used for c20 years. "Can we have your NHSNo?" Yes, why? "NHS wants to make sure we use it on any referrals." (This was policy 20 years ago, are they only now catching up?) "Have you got anything to prove you're over 60? Driving Licence?" I just gave you my NHS number. "For your free sight test" No, my parent has glaucoma put me down under that.
    Next time they ask for my date of birth I'll start making stuff up.

  9. The #UK technology secretary, #PeterKyle, discussed a potential deal with #OpenAI to provide the entire UK with #premium access to #ChatGPTPlus. The idea, floated by OpenAI’s #SamAltman, was not taken seriously due to its potential £2bn cost. Despite this, the UK government has shown enthusiasm for AI, signing a non-binding agreement with OpenAI. theguardian.com/politics/2025/ #tech #media #news

  10. A Technology Minister who lets Chat GPT do his thinking and calls us all 'paedos' when we disagree with his poorly thought out new law.
    And now a Homelessness Minister taking her title too literally...what the fuck is the point of this Labour Party to us Voters?
    And where is the PM, holding another rich peado's hand somewhere is he? The Quisling fuck...

  12. Opinion piece by my colleague Penny Horwood.

    'Last week we had news that the government has kicked the can of AI safety and ethics down the road again.

    'I don’t know about you, but I’m old enough to remember last years’ general election, when technology formed a critical plank of Labour’s programme for change.'
