Don’t worry gang, no one actually starts their New Year’s resolutions on the 1st. And you’d be silly to begin on a Friday, best save it for Monday. But Monday is the 5th so you’ve kind of missed the boat anyway and can safely put it off for next year.

Being sent an email from someone who has clearly rinsed it through AI to come across as more intelligent than they are, feels insulting. It's like low-level catfishing.

Happy to offer my services for free to the other side in this case to testify that the 6.5 million coop loyalty card holders very likely suffered little or no harm at all as a result of this incident and that it would be hugely counterproductive to punish the organisation further in this way

One need not be a nightwatchman libertarian to fear a state apparatus that sees all. George Orwell literally wrote the book on the dangers of Big Brother, and he was a democratic socialist.

AI is actually what people always used to complain Wikipedia was; badly sourced, inaccurate information that misleads people through its presented position of authority.
