Indeed, worst search ever.

...as when maps to the same thing or GPS Navigators lead heavy trucks onto small forest trails or tourists into the ocean.

They teach them a lesson about human stupidity.

"To be clear, "Tilly Norwood" is not an actor, it's a character generated by a computer program"

We can't have that!

We now have a system that gives us actresses with fake hair, fake teeth, fake nose, fake eyebrows, fake eye-lashes, lenses with fake eye-color, skin covered in pancake make-up, tummy tucked and so on.

All natural, unlike that robot.

Amazon.de, Amazon.fr etc have unionized everyones and most 'illegal' practices are just that, ILLEGAL and the only thing I can complain about is that its search sucks dicks.

I use ChatGPT to search for things on Amazon, since it ignores what I enter, looking for a Men's jacket, the first result is usually a woman's, when I search for 240Liter plastic bags, I get 20L, 120L, 80 L and so on, useless.

I know they do it because their marketing slime decided it, so that I see other things that I might like, just like supermarkets move things around regularly so that people have to SEARCH for their stuff and see other things, but I HATE it!

ChatGPT finds EXACTLY what I tell it to find and even tells me where I can find it when Amazon doesn't have it.

IMHO ALL comments are unwanted if not asked for expressis verbis.

Also what about the creepy selfie freaks, who catch everybody behind them on their camera?

Also, if it's publicly accessible, it's OK to film, if you feel 'uncomfortable', call the feelings police.

"One small caveat that doesn't lessen the impressiveness of the feat is that while the U9 Xtreme does classify as a production model, it barely does. That's because BYD is planning to limit production of the top-speed version of the U9 to no more than 30 units. "

The car that previously held the record, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, that claimed the title of the world’s fastest production car in 2019.
Only 30 cars were made.

That's what MAKES it a production car and not one of half a dozen prototypes.
Some races INSIST on that.

They work for themselves, so nobody asks for their ID.

Ah, so you're a bit like Pink Floyd's tour trucks then.:-)

Robots.text prevented it from reading it but instead of reporting that, like ChatGPT, it just made things up.

Indeed, a baton in the trunk. (sic)

"... its just a taxi with the driver sitting elsewhere. How is that going to make car ownership redundant exactly?"

The half price part.

He's like Mickey Mouse, only 4 fingers.
Other AIs got that right.

Even if the UK law tightens rules or increases fines, it won't magically stop farmers, B&Bs or small hotels from hiring undocumented workers for cash. That economy already runs underground, and many of those employers know how to avoid detection. Enforcement is always the weak link: if there aren’t enough inspections, raids or follow-up, the law becomes symbolic.

The only real change comes if the risk of getting caught and punished becomes greater than the benefit of cheap labour. That might scare off some, especially larger employers or those needing clean public reputations. But small rural businesses? Probably not. They’re hard to monitor, often rely on seasonal labour, and have low visibility. Also, as long as the worker supply is there—people desperate enough to work illegally, someone will exploit it.

The only real shift would come if this law were paired with better visa routes, regularisation, or legal seasonal worker programs. Otherwise, the practice will continue, just more cautiously. So yes, something may change—but probably not where the problem is most entrenched.

Without a central population registry the government can’t reliably reach everyone, and many people won’t bother or will ignore a letter.
To make ID drives work you need mandatory touchpoints or strong incentives:
require checks when claiming benefits, renewing driving licences, registering with GP or schools, plus mobile ID centres and local outreach in hardtoreach communities.
Enforcement alone won’t fix it; pair the push with easy, lowcost access and legal regularisation routes for those eligible, otherwise millions simply won’t show up.

When big organisations say, “we’ll modernize”, but then insist on keeping their old, messy business processes, they force the new system (SAP, Oracle, whatever) to bend around decades of legacy practice. That leads to:

Heavy customization fragile, expensive, hard to upgrade.

Data migration nightmares because the old crap gets pulled forward instead of cleaned.

User resistance staff cling to “how we’ve always done it.”

Project sprawl costs explode, deadlines slip, and the shiny new system just becomes a clunky version of the old one.

The councils and agencies that actually succeed are the ones that use the system to standardize, they adapt themselves to SAP/Oracle best practices instead of bending the software.

So yes, Birmingham didn’t really “modernize”, they basically tried to recreate their old SAP mess inside Oracle Cloud, and the cracks just widened.
