Wait, didn't Starmer and co want to "AI" everything like last week? I thought the UK were going to be world leaders in "AI".
Oh snap yeah, they're broke.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A problem with "AI" is that, even if it works, it's still technology under capitalism and thus endlessly appropriated for exploitation, abuse, profiteering, privilege, etc.
Wrong AI grfiter was getting paid...
At first I honestly thought that this was an April Fools joke, I cannot fucking believe that this is real.
In May 2024, the previous government authorised £15 million over three years for auto-contouring. NHS trusts started installing these systems assuming the funding was secured.
There’s a shortage of radiotherapists. They say the AI systems are just letting them keep up with the workload. Radiotherapy UK says cutting auto-contouring will add 500,000 patient-days to waiting lists.
I am completely speechless.
