General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Of course they did. We just had a judge dismiss a case and screamed at BOTH sides because they had both used AI to craft their arguments, and ALL of the citations, on BOTH sides, were fictitious, totally made up by the AI. They didn't even bother to verify them before filing with the court. BOTH sides.

They will eventually want to do away with the human factor, out of "fairness," and have AI present the arguments, and AI pronounce judgment. It sure will speed up the legal system. When a person is arrested, the facts of the case will immediately be entered into the AI, and in a few seconds, a verdict will be rendered. An appeal might take another few seconds, then we can move right on to the execution.

I'm sure AI will make the execution more efficient, too. Something like slow flaying over the course of a week.
