This is a huge problem and it feels unstoppable.
The topic of Inception Point AI came up a few times 😬during my conversation with @JamesCridland of @Podnews and he told me that they are releasing 261 new shows PER DAY.. not episodes, entire new podcasts. This is the very definition of #AI slop...

We made this video about Rochdale Council's actions last year & it seemed important to repost it for the 2nd Christmas that our community group, heritage team, & supporters have been locked out of Hopwood Hall by Rochdale Council. If the Council had not torpedoed our £250,000 grant for community engagement we could have been together at the Hall enjoying happiness, peace & kindness. However, A YEAR LATER, Rochdale Council still is not being transparent and have not answered our legal team’s critical questions so we are left with no choice but to continue to press forward with our lawsuit taking them to The High Court of Justice.

Anyone know where this place is/was.... Yes, i can see the 'wakefield' bit, but that's where one of Warner Gothard's studio was. There's some VERY close matches when using Google image search... but nothing ~quite~ matches.
