Use AI to write anything and you become confined to whatever "moral code" the model has been taught to follow. Once a critical mass is reached, whoever controls these models, will control what is being said.

The reason why they provide it, is because everyone expects it. The reason everyone expects it, is because it was "cool" and an ecosystem grew around it. I use AWS ECS and it's really really good and easy to understand.

Sounds like something massively over-engineered and sold to the government by a consultancy. Intel loves this because it puts the client's data in a cage which is locked from the inside, and they must keep buying servers with Intel chips no matter what.

The original paper describes that the reduction in working hours has forced the workforce to develop a more efficient way of working. Thus, they have accomplished what should have been accomplished with having better management from the get go.

Given this is the government we're talking about - it isn't really that surprising, is it? They could have reduced the workforce by 20% and accomplished a similar result, while reducing costs.

Unfortunately the procurement rules currently in place prevent procurement personnel evaluating a tender from taking into account any prior performance. I'm unsure whether this is a result of EU legislation and common market rules, or whether it is just the UK.
