So, Adolf Musk's response to being told that his NaziBot is making child pornography, and other illegal pornography, is basically:
"Oh, thanks! We will immediately put that behind a paywall so we can monetise it."
I hope Xitter gets banned in the UK.
That will stop a lot of hate speech too.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

What is actually "tearing UK apart"is far-right racist agitation being constantly platformed in the media.

If someone makes a speech that heralds the start of a coup attempt, editing the speech to make it look more like they are making a speech that heralds a coup attempt is a clarifying edit, not a deceptive edit.

Except if you do the maths, and realise that if the venue takes half the VAT cut(, as stated in the article), you will save 21p for every £10 you spend at a venue.
I don't think that will make people flock to pubs and restaurants.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
