        Thank you very much. Weird article.

        How do you find the archived version of news stories? I see many communities have automatically archived version, how does that work, broadly?

        Thank you.

              @Varyk It really is life changing :D
              Btw other life changing apps if you don’t know them are NewPipe from F-Droid and Fennec+uBlockOrigin also via F-Droid. No more ads on the smartphone.

                  @Varyk Ad blocking on the mobile internet. I haven’t seen an ad on my smartphone for years now.

    Isn’t it more like, a guy who wanted to kill the Queen talked to a chatbot about it, and the chatbot rolled with it cos chatbots will default to rolling with whatever you give them? Just seems the likely scenario to me …


    Yep, this BBC article has a couple of the chat logs. If they’re representative, the bot is no more culpable than if he asked a magic 8-ball.

    Nobody said the chat-bots were always wrong, sometimes they happen to answer correctly. Anti-royalism is correct.

    There should be no kings or queens. Just like there should be no slave owners…

      That is a different topic, I am not saying you are wrong, but in this case I’d focus on the fact that a chat bot encouraged a person to kill another.

      King is an honest institution. You know what it is, you know what to expect etc.

      I prefer that a thousand times better than dictators or californian oligarchs…

          A king and queen walk into a bar.

          The bartender tells them “sorry, but you’re under 21.”
