To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I'd rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I've been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job

Surprised it was rejected for infringing trademarks

I read that as "he is being prepared for the coroner"

Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.

  1. If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can "play it safe" with an answer.
  2. I don't trust that it's not capturing and storing data. The risk of a "highly personal" data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
  3. It works from a photo, therefore it's unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You'd be better off just learning what to look for.
  4. It won't detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
  5. Let's say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don't trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?

That's what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I'm sure it's not complete...

It's because it's on dark mode

There's also work showing sheep can maintain the grass under the panels while the solar panels providing shade.

I still think over carparks or rooftops is better, but it shouldn't detract from using farmland. We need to phase out fossil fuels as fast as possible.
