This is the problem when people with no knowledge of computer architecture or software start anthropomorphising a glorified chatbot.

The very definition of a “first world problem “.

Nobody's terrified of a bunch of halfwits wearing balaclavas.

It's not the Prime Minister's job. These morons, who are the absolute scum of the earth, are the ones who need to take responsibility.

I agree. I think AI companies should be held to the same standard as other companies: if one of your employees hacks a company, you're liable. All we have here is the classic Computer Science solution of introducing an extra level of indirection. An employee set that model going.

Once again, Buzz Lightyear sums you up: “You are a sad, strange little man and you have my pity.”

You could have just finished your sentence at, "...we all don't think."

If that's the case, why don't you do everyone in the U.K. a solid and go and live in Russia? See how much fun that is. And yes, I've been to Russia many times, so I do know what I'm talking about.

Yes, after an hour and a half, I finally got my email password reset...

I've been listening to the @virginmedia on-hold Jazz music for over 20 minutes (so far), and it's really starting to grate. Also, it's *really* unnecessary to tell me every 10 seconds that the lines are busy; I already deduced that!

“Observing reality “, your bio says. Not very good at that are you? Maybe read up a bit on how you can’t just fill your diesel car or lorry with crude oil. Julian was clearly failed by the education system.

Too bad you don't know how the global oil market works.

Nothing says, "I'm a racist" like assuming that the colour of a child's skin dictates their nationality.

So, what you're really saying is you believe that, no matter what the cost, the government has total responsibility for eliminating homelessness. Charities should play no part in this. Are you naive, stupid, or both?

More faux outrage from @AllisonPearson, someone who claims to be a journalist yet demonstrates zero ability to perform even basic research. 37.4% of Universal Credit recipients are employed (i.e., working people). To get people off benefits, they need to be paid a living wage.

Tell us how many American families would ever get such a check? How many people got the tariff dividend check? How many people got the DOGE dividend check? The last time they got a check like this was from the COVID stimulus. Who was president for the last of those, eh?

Nothing says "patriot" like asking a foreign leader to impose economic sanctions on their own country. You genuinely don't realise just how moronic your post is, do you?

I'll hold my hands up and say I'm no Python expert. So, can someone explain this? I type quit, and Python understands I want to quit, but tells me to type quit() rather than exiting. Explain to me why this is not the dumbest response possible.

Except that nobody will get the money. Did anyone receive their tariff dividend? What about the DOGE dividend? Talk about gullible.
