A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Don't they realize how this looks over the backdrop of austerity they've been doing?
Those close to the discussion say Kyle never really took the idea seriously, not least because it could have cost as much as £2bn
Discussion
OpenAI: We could give everyone in the UK premium access for 2 billion a year.
Minister: Lol fuck off.

Look how the government is discussing wasting money on this they'll do cuts and raise taxes.
Didn't you realize they are embracing fascism 100% after "age verification", attacking Apple's E2E encryption, and the Palestinian Action ban?
A major sovereign state groveling before a US corporation. I want to throw up

It's a non story. Sounds like someone from openai proposed it in a more broad conversation, the minister asked how much and that was it.
Grovelling is starmers fetish, man literally spends all day thinking of ways to debase himself and sell out the british public to the lowest bidder.
Airstrip One!
~~free~~ mandatory dog shit for everyone!
Why the hell would they do that?
Nice steady revenue stream. I don't think they're profitable so are clearly looking for more money.
I think OP meant the UK
Yeah. That makes sense. But given the extract of the article says the uk didn't take it seriously makes it seem that this "discussion" probably amounted to a proposal by openAI the uk asking how much, and then openAI giving a price. With no further discussion after that.
rofl good luck over there
Yet again. These old farts in government messing with things they have no idea about. Yeah. Let's spend billions giving everyone access to create, post and distribute AI generated crap which is mostly inaccurate and un-credited rubbish.
