We are still seeing the press & politicians minimising the importance of this case even while a police investigation is ongoing & there are so many qs outstanding.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

The analogy would work if calculators didn’t calculate but asked the internet for the most common answer, 2+2=most people say 4 but other numbers may be accurate

The semiliterate people who use chatgpt like to point to calculators as a precedent of assistive technology but the thing is: calculators actually calculate.
A calculator really does let you outsource calculation. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and marketed as doing, reproducibly.
