Those of us who lived in London in the 90s very actively remember the IRA bombs and the relatively regular having to shelter in place, evacuate etc.

Well, no, this is a group of people who police are actively looking to arrest because they believe they've committed a crime. That's a different thing.

I mean, violent crime and homicide is essentially at all time lows (or at least since we all started living in dense cities after the war) in the UK.

It's worth being aware the current police implementation of police LFR is explicitly not doing "tracking": it scans faces against an existing database of outstanding wanted suspect…

It's worth pointing out this is specifically not mass tracking. LFR scans faces against an existing database of outstanding wanted suspects. If a match is made, it alerts the offic…

Sorry, but wtf is this and why is it on the front-page?? "Agent ready"? Eg, it uses markdown like... everything else? There is literally no information here.

It's quite a cool technical concept, and I really like their design sensibility, but don't know anybody using it "in prod".

Yes! I spent ages watches them play Risk. It was fun and deeply silly: https://andreasthinks.me/posts/ai-at-play/ I've now got them playing Blood Bown(ish), and they're bad: https:…

The idea we're going to stop people like special forces and intelligence buying the software they want to run on on prem, air gapped stacks that they control in the name of soverei…

I suspect it's linked to this which is the latest example being used. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/uk-man-was-assaulted-by-atta...

This feels like a weird takeway to take from this! Out of curiousity, where are you from? I find it interesting where only people who get so exercised about the UK get their info f…

It's worth reflecting on the fact nobody has ever been arrested for running a forum under the online safety act. One forum, which was specifically dedicated to helping people commi…

Why? You are significantly more likely to be struck by lightning when out for a walk then prosecuted for running a forum under the online safety act. The act and guidance are very,…

Tangentially related, but the UK Gov Incubator for AI has quite a nifty LLM driven classification pipeline for survey answers. https://github.com/i-dot-ai/consult

Practically nobody.

This specifically doesn't ID anybody. It's not using the upcoming digital ID, it's just going to use the existing age authentication - eg, you just need to show your company is doi…

Bring back the minitel.

Based on what? Is there any evidence of risk at all?

Fair, most countries that follow the common law judicial system I should have said.

This isn't really true though. This is how the law used to work, until people did the research and discovered it let to absolutely loads of mad variation in outcomes, with people w…

I think this is a compelling argument, but I think 2 issues: 1. I remain unconvinced LocalAI can work well for majority of businesses. It looks vaguely comparable on benchmarks, bu…

Is that comic sans or am I having a moment

It's worth recognising that unlike oyster cards, LFR in it's currently form doesn't store any data. It looks at faces, compares them to currently wanted offenders, and if it matche…

This is very naive. 1. The odds of the actual bike itself being covered by CCTV during the theft is pretty slim. Nearby? Sure, but probably not recording the offence. Then unless y…

You do realise saying this about a publicly traded company without any evidence is just full on qanon level conspiracy theory right?
