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.

The biggest risk is idiots not understanding its a prediction engine based on probabilities from its training set and trying to assign intelligence to it, like they are doing here. They are not gonna go out of control skynet style and gain sentience, most likely just hit actual edge cases and fail completely. Like ai target detection showing bushes as tanks, pickups as tanks, etc. Or self driving cars running into people. If the environment and picture is new a probability engine has two choices, have false negatives and prevent any unknowns from getting a proper detection or have false positives which may cause severe harm.
