This is deliberate obfuscation by the State to blur lines, cause confusion & soften acceptance for National [digital] ID infrastructure. De-centralised, voluntary Digital ID used to access online banking *is not the same* as what Keir Starmer is promoting.

OpenAI has sent a legal request to the family of Adam Raine, the 16yo who died by suicide following lengthy chats with ChatGPT, asking for a full attendee list to his memorial, as well as photos taken or eulogies given. His lawyers told the FT this was "intentional harassment"

“We’re excited to see where it leads” A new Quantum Outlook that’s even slower than the one you ship now, and more ads in Windows. I have 100pc confidence that you can cancel out any breakthroughs in faster hardware with slower software, because that’s what God put you on this
