My instance seems to do that for me. Making this post look very confusing for a moment

why?

Stop ascribing intent to things which do not have it.

you might want to look up the rhetorical tool called anthropomorphizing.

It doesn't meant that a person saying that actually believes that o1 is sentient. But it's a good shortcut way to discuss a topic.

can’t do anything but read input and write output for actions

but it can do more. they gave it a shell to put commands into. Therefore acting out more than just inputting and outputting text

intended target and possible target are different things.

The law, as it exists, targets any and all communities with "a significant number of United Kingdom users". There is no minimum size requirement.

It might be possible that the law turns a blind eye on smaller communities. But it might not. They are in their right to go against a 20 user fediverse instance the same way as they are against facebook

that's the thing. You don't have to be a company or resident of the UK.

If you have a community (classic forum, lemmy, masto etc) that caters to a "significant part" to UK users, you are target of the act.

And depending on where you live, extraditions to the UK for criminal charges exist.

Will anyone bother doing that? We'll see

Edit: In case people want to read the law themselves: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/4

phew

This new season of Robot Wars / Battle Bots is starting strong

also: praying. It's basically meditation, depending on your practice.

You're quietly going through your thoughts and, well, meditate on them. Lots of good ideas and solutions can come from that alone

The solution clearly is to piss on her to establish dominance

You don't need a satellite phone for this, though
