Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Sweet fucking Jesus.
I know a reasonably senior civil servant who says MPs are practically wetting their knickers at the prospect of AI doing their job for them while massively reducing civil service headcount at the same time. Obviously in the waves of AI-Took-Our-Jobs to come civil servants will come well before elected ministers.
"Hey ChatGPT, draft me a law which lets my chauffeur have a device to control traffic lights so I don't need to wait in traffic like the rest of the peasants!"
"Hey ChatGPT, draft me personalised letters for 50% of the civil servants in my department telling them that they're redundant!"
"Hey ChatGPT, specify and hire an increased personal security detail to make sure I'm not bothered by common people. The specification should be appropriate for funding from tax payer money!"
I'm hoping the fad for "AI" at the moment ends before any people in power manage to get the buzzword-laden solutions anywhere near the gears of the country.
