    When I think of Britishcore anything European I think of closet racism, pro-imperialism, an unearned sense of exceptionalism and general classism. But that's just me.

    Fixed that for you.

    All your points apply to the entire European continent. 😉

    The best use of AI at the moment is to act as a tool to quickly search and present data quicker than humanly possible. Not to act upon the findings blindly.

    It's not as easy to say anyone using AI should be fired. There needs to be a more nuanced approach to this. It wholly depends on what the GP did with the information it presented.

    An example: back in the day GPs had a huge book of knowledge they would defer to that was peer researched and therefore trusted. If you came in with an odd symptom they'd spend time (often in front of you) flipping through the book to find that elusive disease they read about that one time at university. Later that knowledge moved to a traditional search engine. Why wouldn't you now use AI to make that search faster? The AI can easily be trained on this same corpus of knowledge.

    Of course the GP should double check what they are being told. But simply using AI is not the problem you make it out to be. If you have a corpus of knowledge and the GP uses this in a dangerous way then the GP should be fired. But you don't then burn the book they found this information from.

    Do you work somewhere where you can escape for an hour over lunch, perhaps? Like go to the gym or something? Out of sight out of mind.

    I totally get the feeling of being mobbed, but to be honest find a way to cope with it at work. A lot of work places are by definition social places so it's going to be really hard avoiding interactions all the time. Maybe go for a walk with a podcast or something?

    Good luck 🤞.

    That's a really niche US reference that hardly anyone outside of the internet will understand, let alone the British public attending this rally.

    The article sums it up well.

    Prosecutor Jonathan Bryan said the term “coconut” was a “well-known racial slur which has a very clear meaning”.

    He said: “You may be brown on the outside, but you’re white on the inside. In other words, you’re a race traitor – you’re less brown or black than you should be.”

    They all do that. They're actually trained in how to do that. It's some sick Prisoner's Dilemma thing. They make you give an estimate first and then low ball from there. They don't tell you a salary range deliberately because they know people will put themselves at the top of the range.

    I've had it before where I've replied to them saying "What's the salary range" and they've said "we don't disclose that at this stage in the interview what's your salary right now?". The fuck. So they expect me to tell them everything and tell me nothing in return? End the interview right there.

    Before you get too excited it's disappointing that this type of obfuscating language is still used as a get out free card. >According to people familiar with a draft, it will say a Palestinian state *should be recognised as "part of a peace process"* So basically never because a peace process won't ever happen the way it currently stands. >when Sir Keir was asked whether a government he leads would follow Spain, Ireland and Norway in recognising a Palestinian state, he said it had to be "at the right time in the [peace] process… what it does need is international backing and consensus about the right point". > >He added: "That's only going to happen if we work with our partners on it." No it's only going to happen if you show some leadership instead of lagging behind Ireland, Spain, and Norway. Do you want to recognise the state or not? Or do you want to only recognise it when it's beneficial to you and you've calculated that going into an election it's not beneficial to you? Disappointing.
