You might think you know what they want and be totally wrong.
Asking never hurts. They can give you a list of options or say "whatever", but you don't have to be a baby about it.
If they say whatever, it just means they're letting you know you don't have to stress about it, but you should still make a genuine effort to get something they might want.
Disinformation. Misinformation is when it's unintentional.
How does a homeless person without a smartphone get a job? Is the government going to supply smartphones to everyone?
Or anyone who simply doesn't want a smartphone. How do they get a job? Are you now forced to use a smartphone if you want to be a UK citizen?
The government has said it wants to ensure the scheme works for those who are not able to use a smartphone and will launch a consultation on how the service will be delivered later this year.
The new digital ID will be held on people's phones, in a similar way to contactless payment cards or the NHS app.

Yeah, they have no clue what they're doing. Maybe do the consultations and research before announcing your plan?
Did you even read the article you linked? It literally argues against your point.
The literal first sentence of the article is:
Contrary to myth, the sale of Ben & Jerry’s to corporate giant Unilever wasn’t legally required.
And further down:
This article aims to dispel the idée fixe that corporate law compelled Ben & Jerry’s directors to accept Unilever’s rich offer, overwhelming Cohen and Greenfield’s dogged efforts to maintain the company’s social mission and independence.
Yet in the end, Ben & Jerry’s directors chose to accept a generous offer, even at a cost to the social mission, rather than allow the company’s defenses to be tested. Anti-takeover protections are only as effective as the people positioned to use them.
He's not even just doing that anymore. He's straight-up lying and spreading disinformation. It's intentional.
Happy ending. The tennis player tracked down the boy and gave him a new hat, among other things.
This feels like PR bullshit to make people feel like AI isn't all that bad. Assuming what they're releasing is even true. Not like cigarette, oil, or sugar companies ever lied or anything and put out false studies and misleading data.
However, there are still details that the company isn’t sharing in this report. One major question mark is the total number of queries that Gemini gets each day, which would allow estimates of the AI tool’s total energy demand.
Why wouldn't they release this. Even if each query uses minimal energy, but there are countless of them a day, it would mean a huge use of energy.
Which is probably what's happening and why they're not releasing that number.
"It's low cost, low on energy resources, and frees up the VFX team to work in other areas."
From the article:
and rather than contract a studio of visual effects artists to create the footage, Netflix used generative AI to create it.
Yeah, it sure freed that VFX team from getting paying jobs.
Didn't know it was that easy to just demolish a historical building. And not only a historical buidling, but the symbolic seat of power of a nation.
Is he gonna tear down the Lincoln statue next and replace it with his own?
