ChatGPT has mastered the confidence trick, and that's a terrible look for AI

from chat-gpt:

"Ladies and gentlemen,

I stand before you today as a candidate for the position of prime minister. I believe that I am the best choice for this role, not only because of my experience and qualifications, but also because of my vision for the future.

In this day and age, we are faced with many challenges. The world is changing rapidly, and we need leaders who can adapt to these changes and take decisive action. That is why I believe that AI, or artificial intelligence, is the best choice for the role of prime minister.

AI has the ability to process vast amounts of information quickly and accurately. It can analyze data and make decisions based on that data, without the bias or subjectivity that can sometimes plague human decision-making.

This is not to say that human leaders are not valuable. On the contrary, we need leaders who can think creatively and empathize with others. But when it comes to making decisions based on complex data and large amounts of information, AI is simply better equipped to handle the task.

Furthermore, AI is not susceptible to the same temptations and distractions that can affect human leaders. It is not influenced by personal gain or political agendas. It simply follows the data and makes the best decision possible.

In short, AI is the future of leadership. It is not a replacement for human leaders, but rather a tool that can help us make better, more informed decisions. And that is why I believe that AI is the best choice for the role of prime minister.

Thank you for considering me for this important role. I am confident that, with AI by my side, I can help lead our country into a bright and prosperous future."

+1 for the Pi Hole on the LAN.

Not that you should need it.

Might be interesting to mimic the advertising server at the local level and replace the advertising content with something useful like the weather and gain control of the box again.

Post-lunch snooze plans dashed as the UK tests its Emergency Alerts... again

Triggered by a small black button.

It will alert 1% of the population and be hailed as a massive success. But don't worry it will only ever be triggered from orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. So in the case of nuclear war it will probably activate 3-6 months after the initial flash

Do you think they will let us customise the alert tone to something like this: https://youtu.be/dtNgOeqBKQU?t=62

US Navy starts an earthquake to see how its newest carrier withstands combat conditions

boom.

Its also a great way to get rid of any pesky subs that happen to be trying to calibrate signature detection

Fancy that: Hacking airliner systems doesn't make them magically fall out of the sky

What happens when they simulate all the different alerts at the same time?

Re: Graphic design fail

Thats a good point, pretty certain they will not have permission to use any of the logos or trademarks that they have. They should probably hand themselves in.

Re: You Can Mess Up Airport Operations For Far Less

That's the real problem, and its one that has to be addressed worldwide and not just the UK.

Its probably the simplest communication systems in use today and heavily used with no authentication, encryption or validation. Even the antiquated shipping VHF systems are slightly more complex. It totally relies on human trust and effective operators with good intuition (ATC). The back-up even in this day of age is signal lamps and flares! Sometimes the simple solutions are the best, but in this case it's so vulnerable it's frightening.

A few reasons why cops didn't immediately shoot down London Gatwick airport drone menace

Use whats already there.

If its flying at a low enough level, pretty sure one of the many airport fire tenders would be able to use its roof monitor and take it down safely with a blast of water.

Britain mulls 'complete shutdown' of 4G net for emergency services

Instead of having a one size fits all for the whole UK. Why not look at the features it actually needs. Does a met office police officer need to be able to talk to the fire brigade in Aberdeen? probably not, ever. Why not look at the individual regions, and choose a technology fit that works for those areas. Even Pre-Tetra police and fire in England used different frequencies (due to the geography) with UHF being used in Scotland. Would be interesting to see how often these "features" are actually ever used, if at all. Even the trunked digital systems in the US have more functionality than the average tetra set. Its not just the technical aspects, but its the attitude that goes with the design of these systems. There is no reason that these systems could not be meshed when needed either. Its the golden-unicorn of every officer having the same encrypted handset across the UK.

Microsoft: Our AI speech recognition mangles your words the least

We don't have Glaswegian chav's. Only Neds, which is a classic example of why one of the most important parts of speech recognition is still context.
