Of course the best way to avoid having your evil, immoral, appalling, human-rights-abusing plans halted by judges…

Stop calling me boring, Keir Starmer tells shadow cabinet theguardian.com/politics/2022/

Yeah, and 2019 wasn’t the rout they like to say it is, either. Plus that new book on Starmer lays a good chunk of the blame on his intransigence. But that all gets out of sight is out of mind

Whenever you see some corp article saying "x uses AI to do y"

"X uses machine learning to identify patterns that mean a machine can do Y"
