And the politicians protecting them.

Well Mark, you had the chance to back a welsh-made language learning app startup (made by a friend of mine) and passed them up so they've moved onto other things.

Don't act surprised when an American language learning app decides to drop a relatively obscure language like Welsh.

Yeah I wouldn't ask chatGPT to do research on my behalf, who knows what industry fluff piece article it's scraped that text from.

Getting started with research, i.e. a first draft at an essay, sure. But you can't trust the information in these LLMs.

To do that, you'll need to do some lateral reading.

So here's your two options for doing this:

  1. Phone signal jammer - illegal because you are purposefully interfering over a licensed radio band.

  2. Retrofit all classrooms into a Faraday cage - impractical because ludicrously expensive.

The implication is that if you want to find shady shit, you go looking for it with those who give off an air that they have something shady.

Usually, someone who's done or said things that have stirred up controversy or general media attention in the past.

The ones that go unnoticed are the people journalists have to spend a paragraph explaining who this person is and why they're a big deal.

Much easier to get a scandal published if the public already recognise them and think "yeah, I thought there was something off about that person".

Edit: typo.

Oh I'll just put this trauma over here with the rest of the traumas.

I still can't get over the high-pitched voice when they turned the keys on the model Cerritos to enject the warp core.

Makes me giggle everytime.

Yeah it is.

It's so bad that the Home Office is issuing quotas for "High-priority" crime which is code for solve things that make the news headlines: large scale drug busts, charging murderers, seizing large sums of cash and assets.

But they're completely deprioritising other crimes from bike theft to shoplifting to domestic violence and reducing the amount of community engagement activities.

Addressing smaller crimes and having officers engaged with the community is essential for fostering a safe environment. And here's the kicker; the more these low-level crimes go unpunished, the more high-level crimes happen are more likely to happen when fuelled by economic downturn.
