Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

For many, the worry will be that it will take away thousands of high paying jobs and replace them with significantly lower salaried, or even minimum wage jobs. People have bought houses, had children, and generally made life plans based on the premise their vocation could support that lifestyle. The Government need to provide support and retraining to try and prevent these events because they are good for no-one except bad actors and vulture capitalists.

I agree. I think some are really going to benefit from AI, but perhaps many more will be negatively impacted. The government seems to be waiting for the problem to get ugly before waking up and addressing.
