Right Royal Dodgy is as Right Royal Dodgy does .....

Attending a court hearing is an implicit concession that the court has jurisdiction and standing to consider the claim.

The smartest move, if you know you're going to lose, and are in a foreign jurisdiction, is to utterly and completely ignore everything to do with the court. Don't issue any response or pleadings, and don't turn up or engage in any way. ..... Anonymous Coward

Is that wishful thinking part of Prince Andrew's defence strategy, AC? Surely it undermines and precludes any notion at all of innocence. And that is self-defeating and creates a whole new world of pain and shame to endure and champion. Methinks that is always quite moronic.

But, Mike 137, is there always in human centric circles an inherent systemic petrification and powerful endemic command and control problem whenever one knows in advance of how things are most likely to be [because one has been so informed and advised] but one isn't privy to how such things are actually to be arrived at ...... because that particular information is of a peculiar intelligence which is proprietary intellectual property, extremely valuable and easily misused and abused for almighty destruction and/or disruption?

In short, Edwards and Venkata wanted to steal one US government agency's software, tweak it slightly, then sell it back to another US agency, it is claimed.

In essence, is that not a version of what all state intelligence service chiefs and agents do whenever they leave public office to work and set up their own operations in the private sector, although it isn't/wouldn't be called stealing then?

Or do you expect them to unlearn all of the juicy secrets they have been privy too and allow others to exclusively benefit handsomely from that which is made known to them or made known by them?

Oh yes you can ..... and it's quite easy

"Mozilla is not a company that owns an ecosystem; we do not own hardware; we cannot promote or create ourselves as the default in mobile, in iOS, in Android, or on a laptop or desktop." ..... Mozilla head of EU public policy Raegan MacDonald

Of course we can, Ms MacDonald, by the simple adage of prime drivering information for browsers in all systems to access for Advanced IntelAIgent Programming.

A little something extra especial to energise and exercise that great matter between the ears.

And that's enough to keep anyone busy for more than just ever.

Re: King Trump

The US and the UK are suffering from the same political nightmare, Johnson's next move will be to remove the Fixed-term Parliaments Act so that politicians can force elections when their popularity peaks - the universal principal in US/UK politics now is that elections are undemocratic because they are ignoring the will of the people when they elected the current candidate. ....

Huawei to agree to some settlement or Uncle Sam in the guise of Donald Trump and the DOJ to seek to inflict some totally ineffective and gratuitous punishment, both personal and pecuniary, on their largest and most avid of trading partners ?

Business is usually ..... He who pays the piper calls the tune.

My PhD supervisor once wrote to someone asking for some reagent (science works on this sort of thing) but made the mistake of giving too much info on what he wanted it for. He didn't hear back from them then they published the work he wa going to do. ..... Muscleguy

Beware and be aware the Cabinet Office is very fond of such sourcing. As would be the Ministry of Defence in fields in which they are trailing and failing to catch up and lead with.

And it always leads to them being starved of future novel information in intelligent development with competition and/or opposition being made privy to privileged intellectual property to test their reaction/direction to the paths of travel.

Out of the frying pan into the fire ......

One assumes Uncle Sam realises they set an unmitigating precedent in presenting such cases against Johnny Rotten/Jane Doe Foreigners which endangers the life and liberty of Americans abroad able to be targeted with similar accusations regarding foreign abilities shared but not necessarily directly ie simply reverse engineered or reasonably reimagineered via intelligent thought processes?

The wisdom of creating such a folly escapes me and it would seem to me to be much more another moronic and future self-defeating move, ill-conceived and counter productive.

Report on AI in UK public sector: Some transparency on how government uses it to govern us would be nice

Re: A .......... Reality Style.

And of course, one can always rely on an imperious military and wannabe imperial dictatorships [although not necessarily an imperious military and wannabe imperial dictatorships from everywhere and an enclave like the UKGBNI] to want to be ahead of the Great IntelAIgent Game and in Absolute Charge of Command and Control of Future Alien Weaponry ....... White House to weaponize AI and spend money to poach top talent

Furthermore, as we all know, in a capitalist economy and fiat money system, top talent isn't cheap and is surely intelligently designed to be extremely expensive when also mind numbingly effective and stealthily overwhelming. It appears to be the way that particular and peculiar system likes to work in order to generate future profits for lavish spending and saving. Whether that be a blessing or a curse is one of those questions dodgy systems try to avoid asking and answering.

Re: A .......... Reality Style.

and maybe there's a time to get to know the way AI thinks how the public bodies are *not* using AI even if AI recommended them to. ..... Anonymous Coward

Maybe, AC, although that being akin to kicking a can of worms and a Pandoran Box further on down the road is too much of a desperate ineffectual dither to be considered as anything else of note other than there be no better a time to realise and release information and sensitive intelligence to the private and pirating foreign sectors too for allowance of the possibility, and therefore most likely probability of their embrace and engagement/novel quantum communications leap field lead.

And, AC, do you really honestly think you can get to know the way AI thinks how the public bodies are *not* using AI even if AI recommended them to ..... ergo its branding here as a desperate ineffectual dither ‽ .

Re: the government doesn't publish any centralised audit on the extent of AI use

I second that proposal, SVV. Let's give AI a trial as judge and jury deciding on future human interreaction with full provision of practical instruction to render maximum benefit from the quantum leap switch to a most able AI System of Universal Operation.

I wonder what a Boris J and a Dominic C would make with Effective Leverage in that Facilitative Utility?

And there's no point in them denying expertise and/or competence in the application, for whenever not able to be provided custom made in-house, everything needed is supplied freely from A.N.Others' Operating Systems Overflowing Stores.

A Valentine Easter Egg .......... on 0verlorderly Operations Augmented Virtual Reality Style.

Most of what is in the public realm at present is thanks to journalists and academics making Freedom of Information requests or rifling through the bins of public procurement data, rather than public bodies taking the proactive step of releasing information about how they use AI. ...... Laurie Clarke 12 Feb 2020 at 13:25

One could try the converse obverse reverse with journalists and academics making Freedom of Information requests or rifling through the bins of public procurement data releasing information about how AI is using them and public bodies.

Such might very well be is the much more fruitful endeavour with bounties one never before dreamed possible, and all immediately deliverable.

Re: Once again .... Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

It's not about skills, science, even cost, it's about 'industry' standards and acceptance. You can be corporation/bank with endless resources and in-house-built-from-scratch comm systems but you still have to use skype/slack/webex because of the others. Same goes for criminals (cartels, etc.), governments and other organizations .... 41R

Methinks, 41R, that reveals everything revolves around and is fully dependent upon and also catastrophically vulnerable to skills in users that share greater intelligence via ubiquitous means either both secret and exclusive in a private sector or readily widely available and popular with the masses/public sector.

And skills in users in that regard is really just a euphemism for prime use of considerably more advanced greater intelligence proving itself to be, to that and those in its sights for intervention, impregnable and problematical. Such though is best realised as being a quite normal default progression in the field.
