  • Threaten in the sense that it competes with, and is built under a different economic system. Got the free market folk all ruffled because it isn’t playing the game the way they want it played.

    It has it’s own limitations of course, and the full strength version isn’t quite ‘run at home’ but it is pretty close, and there are weaker versions that can even be run on an SBC (if slowly). It’s definitely in reach of the enthusiast though.

    It’s also supposed to have some strong reasoning capabilities (haven’t tested myself yet) which is a big thing compared to your common or garden chat bots that at best sometimes know facts.















  • The way I see it you have, broadly 2 routes you can go down. You can contact the RSPCA (calling your local branch if you can.) Explain your concerns and your evidence of previous behaviour. If there isn’t a court order in place they will be limited with what they can do, but they are best placed to track the situation and seek such an order. It will largely be out of your hands what happens after that.

    Alternatively you can avoid involving state power at this point, befriend your new neighbour and monitor the situation. If she can be spared social isolation, there may be opportunity for her to have a healthy lifestyle and properly look after her cats. You will also be in a better position to see any problems as they develop, and provide friendly advice and support rather than just calling in a big hammer.


  • And lo, when he saw the moneylenders working out of the temple, he said: “see how the wealth of these men sometimes falls out of their bulging pockets, and look, they pay that man who carries their wealth enough to survive. I mean not to own a house, or to live comfortably without fear. But you know, he can rent one of their spare houses for just most of his pay, and if he is sick, they shall call to him and say ‘look, we really need you in tomorrow, you need to be a team player.’ They truly are the most righteous of men, for does not my father say: if I wanted the poor to be rich, I’d have given them gold?”
