Hard not to get a bit frustrated at a certain tool/blog post going round justifying using the plagiarism tool because it's "part of your job". I turned down interviews and recruiters for companies doing web3/NFT/AI/other shite while job hunting a few times. You have other options.

I'm fascinated by this new form of PR that's emerged with LLM companies where they leak stories like 'our product spontaneously assembled an army of domestic appliances & announced it would exterminate the lowly hairless apes - we barely managed to pull the plug' to imply it's really powerful

UK folks with gendered facilities like changing rooms and toilets at their work - have you been given ANY training or support around tomorrow's new 'guidance'? Don't out yourself or give any details that might get you in trouble, a simple yes or no will do if its risky.
