Ofcom has fined 4chan again, £520,000 under the UK's Online Safety Act. 4chan responded to them in an email with a giant hamster.

I controlled every aspect of this video. Each scene was prearranged by me before being animated. AI simply replaced the camera and crew that I can’t afford. Ask AI to “reimagine Take On Me” and you’ll get slop. Use AI to project from your own imagination and you’ll get this.

We have spent £180m on plans for a tunnel under Stonehenge. The project is now scrapped. You can be for a tunnel & think spending is a good idea (even if you think the cost of planning is silly). You can be against a tunnel & think spending is a bad idea. But *nobody* can be for spending on this scale with zero result. And yet that is a peculiarly British outcome. Nobody will be reprimanded. Nobody will see their career affected. But that’s £180m of taxpayer money just wazzed up the wall. Totally without repercussions. Multiply this by airport expansions & train route plans and Thames crossings and power stations and other examples you can think of yourself, and… soon you’re talking serious money.

Just two humans having a perfectly natural conversation.

Same interview, different woman. The DEI commissar needs to bless me. Like a good unemployed stooge I bite my tongue & exchange platitudes. She tells me earnestly of a recent incident they had where someone read a plastic umbrella bag from the wrong side and Wet looked like Jew.
