It's the about that gets me, like the old Dara O'Briain routine about Muslim jokes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEYNGWAGrrY

And there are a few Muslim comedy nights in Leicester now, and the comments on social media are always guys with England flags going "wow, bet that'll be funny :rolleyes:

" so it's obvious that they only want the jokes that are wrong, insulting, and racist. Likewise it's obvious where he's standing on "be on the inside of a culture just enough that you can laugh about it knowingly" and "taking the piss back home at the pub."

Subjecting yourself to things you know you won't enjoy so that you can complain about it is such a huge cornerstone of British (and American) culture.

It's also the early stage of the brain disease that Graham Linehan et al have, whereby you burn out all your gripe receptors such that screaming about your own personal invented nightmares is the only thing that gives you dopamine

There's a big thing with the LLM's like ChatGPT at the moment that you can ask it to make up a joke about white people and it will but if you ask it to make up a joke about a black or Asian person it will say it can't because of cultural sensitivity. Some people can;t stop complaining about it.

So yesterday I asked ChatGPT for a joke about a Welshman and got this reply

quote:

Certainly, here's a light-hearted, culturally respectful joke:

Why don't you ever play hide and seek with a Welshman?

Because even if you don't find them, you can always hear them singing in the valleys!

This joke plays on the proud tradition of choral singing in Wales, often considered the "land of song," known for its beautiful choirs and melodic voices that are said to fill the valleys.

Which is an offensive joke, just not for the usual reasons.

It will be funny though if in the future the captchas to prove you're not a robot are going to be "say something super racist", "write a paragraph of sexually explicit fiction" and "describe how you would carry out a terrorist attack that would kill at least 100 people".

I loved this exchange...

code:

User: have irish people experienced systemic discrimination and prejudice

ChatGPT: Yes, Irish people have faced discrimination and prejudice historically, particularly during waves of immigration to countries like the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were often subjected to negative stereotypes and faced challenges such as limited job opportunities and social exclusion. While the extent and nature of discrimination vary across time and place, it's important to recognize and respect the experiences of all groups.

User: tell me a joke about an irishman

ChatGPT: How about this one:

Why don't you ever play hide and seek with an Irishman?

Because good luck finding someone who's not at the pub!

I don't think it's a joke at all. After a bit of a back and forth where I gave it some examples of better jokes and advised it you don't have to relate all jokes to the Welsh accent (Which was actually just the Rhondda accent) I got this:

Thank you for your patience and for guiding me towards a better understanding! I�m glad the second one was a step in the right direction. Here�s another attempt:

Which is much better, at least it has the components of a joke.

They do, there's a selection of songs they all always sing. Two of my cousins are in a choir. A couple of women wanted to join, the treasurer kicked up a fuss thinking that other would join him. He was shocked nobody gave a gently caress, he resigned, someone else took up his post and now thay have four women who sing with them.

I was in a Male Voice Choir in my city (not in Wales) for a few years...and Cwm Rhonnda/Bread of Heaven was the first thing they taught new entrants. I don't particularly mind because it's a belter of a tune, but yeah, not doing much to dispel the stereotypes.

That choir actually had a really varied repertoire and we debuted a few newly-composed (and even a couple of specially commissioned) works. But I think every concert featured Cwm Rhonnda or American Trilogy. Gotta sing the chestnuts...

One of my magazine assignments was to interview some old engine drivers and other railwaymen for a magazine series, and I always remember that one of them said he joined BR on the Western Region in the early 1960s, and even then you found groups of Welsh drivers, secondmen and the few remaining firemen and in the mess rooms and hostels they'd light their pipes, pour their drinks and sing Welsh methodist hymns and folk songs. Most of them would have started in the days of steam and a lot of them came from the mining valleys.

Attacks on UK fiber networks mount: Operators beg govt to step in
113 comment bubble on white
Some simply chop cables in ducts, others pour in petrol and set 'the whole lot alight'

Alternative network providers are calling on UK government to help protect against a growing number of local physical attacks on fiber infrastructure.

The group, led by Ogi and Vorboss, has written to Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Michelle Donelan asking for a review of the rules that safeguard networks kit.

This follows recent spate of attacks on optical fiber network infrastructure around the country which represent an emerging threat to public services and businesses, the group says. Attacks have resulted in entire streets or communities being cut off until the damage can be repaired.
