I know, next, let's build the torment nexus, as featured in the famous book, Don't Build the Torment Nexus.

There are around 600 homicides every year in the UK. The population is over 68 million. I feel like I could already give a pretty good estimate of whether a given person is going to be a murderer.

Time to start making important decisions based on a quantum random number generator. Predict me now, asshole.

The UK is also pushing for mandatory age verification. The next step is capturing all that adult-site-browsing data and using it to predict likely sex offenders.
