And to be really pedantic about it, an acronym is
pronounceable
, like "NASA", so BPF is actually an initialism!

I’d think you’d

The article mentions that Apple paused the show due to geopolitical tensions and its own interests in the region (selling phones to middle eastern customers). Similar reasons to why they cancelled Jon Stewart’s show (which is also mentioned by the article). Slow horses doesn’t really have the same sensitivity - it’s a comedy, which gives it some cover.

Isn’t one of the main functions of the brain / nervous system to “filter” noisy sensory input data to provide a coherent “signal” to perception? Perhaps a smaller or more specialized model could do that if we ended up packing the “skin” of the humanoid with various sensors.
