- Politicians or celebs being made out to say things they haven’t.

- Politicians or celebs claiming videos of them saying or doing embarrassing things are fake.

- Criminals stating evidence on them is AI fakery.

- Criminals giving themselves alibis through AI fakery.

- Extremists presenting “evidence” for their cause that isn’t real.

 

I worry what’s awaiting us, but there’s no closing Pandora’s Box now.

Yeah, this is about right.

 

There's a whole shitload of issues that will come from the ascendancy of AI, but it can't be stopped so the onus has to be on better recognition techniques that will pick between AI and "real" footage.

I’m surprised Sunak went for him to be honest. 

As with Braverman, these things are a balance between him having people he actually wants in his cabinet and having people who have a large chunk of support.  Raab for reasons unknown to humankind seems to have some of that support.  You half think a terrible report helps Sunak to oust people he doesn't want.  He is probably waiting to be able to get rid of Braverman.

Not sure how to respond in an apolitical way to align to forum rules. 

 

How about "LOL!!!"?

'sets a dangerous precedent' so there's more, a whole lot more, presumably? 

 

Think that's the bit that's winding people up the most. Getting rid of bullies isn't a dangerous precedent, it should be standard practice. And the bar for it should be set low, there's absolutely zero need for bullying, if you can't manage people without being a muppet, then you shouldn't be managing people. Literally that easy.

The fact with Raab and any other bully for that matter is they think their behaviour is normal.

 

Let's hope this continues to be the "draining of the swamp" in Parliament as it is long overdue.

We’ve all had a boss like Raab. Naturally pretty thick but looks down on you, intimidates you into doing things their way and if you challenge it, they intimidate you even further. Clearly the guy has personal issues which he takes out on other people, a horrible man and thank Christ he’s out of government. His resignation letter tells you all you need to know about the numpty.

Also worth remembering as well that he couldn't be arsed to return from his hols during the shambles of the Afghan evactuation when he was Foreign Secretary.

His resignation statement had the exact tone that you would expect from a bully.

The Independent states that Putin is planning some form of attack on the UK.

He already did in Salisbury. But an actual ‘attack’ is just not gonna happen, like cmon.

Nah, let's not play down the Russian and/or Chinese boogeyman because they really are threatening and so focusing on them at the expense of other threats and areas is the right thing to do.

 

.....

 

.........right?

If the Russians really wanted to damage British infrastructure, then they’d simply leave the current conservative government to it.

Along with having not read the Good Friday Agreement when he was Brexit Secretary

The whole Raab affair and letting him control the media agenda shows again what a lightweight cretin of a PM Sunak is.

He doesn't have a lot of gravitas as such, but by various accounts Number 10 is being run more professionally than it has been for years, and he is 100% on top of the facts while also being able to delegate.  If anything then I think he is not a typical heavyweight, but I'm not sure fair to call him lightweight.  Meanwhile I think with Raab he has played it about as well as he could have - due process had to be followed, and once the report came out he has acted swiftly.  Raab can say what he likes to the media, he is gone, his frontline political career is done.

He’ll be back within 12 months having ‘learnt his lesson’ like the rest of them.
