A massive firm in the UK has reported itself to the regulator for using AI not once, but twice in a submission to a court.

" But before the interview, the narrator drops his phone in water. Unable to explain to Thomas he has no way to record their conversation, the narrator pretends his broken phone is working — and the interview commences."

Phone companies really need to start advertising the fact that their phones are water resistant and can survive a quick dunk in the water.

Is this the real-life equivalent of 'I'll save that +8 Strength potion for a real battle, oh the game is finished'.

I've always wondered why they have never done a remaster of Toy Story.

New comment by Popeyes in "Local Journalism Is How Democracy Shows Up Close to Home"

Popeyes — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:25:09 +0000

Rightmove, the property sales website, absolutely destroyed local journalism in the UK. It was written on the wall, but local newspapers had all the local listings for property and other services. A local newspaper was 60%+ of house sales, but that advertising revenue paid for local journalists to sit and read council papers and attend meetings and get people out in the community. Nowadays, local journalism, even from national broadcasters like the BBC is a shadow of its former glory.

This is the experience of the lottery for a single person so the chances of winning is low. But lotteries are played by millions. Simulate that experience.

We went to America to see some family and we were discussing books and we were shocked that they had never heard of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler who are an absolute staple of UK kids book culture (so much so that they adapt one of her books as animations for each Christmas). So if they aren't on your radar, then they come highly recommended.

The 'and also' indicates that he means terrible, and this person has no taste.

Well they are calling out for help and seeing if others have had the same problem. And you can see from the responses that there are people having the same. So we are either all messing up despite not doing anything different. So Google has messed up something and we are all suffering because of it.

Had the same issue - we have a massive register of regulated services and Google was a help for people finding those names easily.

But in August suddenly "Page is not indexed: Crawled – currently not indexed" shot up massively. We've tried all sorts to get them back into the index but with no help. It would be helpful if Google explained why they aren't indexed or have been removed. As with the blogpost every other search engine is fine.
