If I wasn't such a suspicious bastard I would almost say that setup and punchline was coordinated.

"[0] Still, it's the African elephant that is migratory[1].

[1] And even able to transport an entire coconut tree."

Not to be confused with the Hermit Elephant, possibly the strangest and saddest species on the Disc. This creature, lacking the thick hide of its near relatives, lives in huts, moving up and building extensions as its size increases. It’s not unknown for a traveller on the plains of Howondaland to wake up in the morning in the middle of a village that wasn’t there the night before.

Re: Isn't the AI training database itself a felony?

"FB must possess a large collection of child sexual abuse images in order to train its AI. Indeed, given FB's "collect all the data about all the things" obsession, it's very possible that FB has amassed the world's largest repository of CSA images. Possession of such images is a felony basically everywhere. Hmmm."

Unless FB is a data harvesting front for a joint funded NSA/CIA program?

Oops, what's that coming over the hill?

'He also said "lessons will be learned", for what it's worth.

Pure reflex action.'

Ahh, those will be the lessons about sweeping bullying under the carpet during Anti Bullying Week and when his principal adviser on the ministerial code of conduct resigns after publishing a report into a key minister's bullying behaviour?

"What silence? All I can hear is that bloody noisy cricket chirping away!"

Fun story time, unrelated in every way to the main story here.

My wife and I went on a short break to Gran Canaria a number of years ago, and one evening we decided to leave the confines of the hotel to seek sustenance. When walking back to the hotel later that evening we noticed a massive amount of cricket noise on the side approach to the hotel entrance, The weird thing was that at no point along the journey did the noise lessen, as you would expect from approaching crickets directly. When I pulled at a couple of bushes lining the walls of the hotel I discovered, Lo! and Behold! They were piping the noise in (out, technically). Little speakers, all in a row.
