> as that is what could be the most that can be expected from a former probation officer turned the official british royal panegrist.

In a Britain where it’s harder than it has been for fifty years to be from a working/middle-class background and make it in the arts, I think it’s great that a polytechnic graduate, former probation officer is the poet laureate.

> And you can't even get the apprenticeship to begin with because you're 45 years old and the union won't take you.

This is not how unions work in the UK

I think it's sad that an article that to me was about sacrificing your own time to bring your family together has turned into sacrificing nothing to hyper optimise your life.

> Is someone irresponsible enough to pursue causal, unprotected sex with random partners also likely to be responsible enough to visit a doctor proactively and comply with a prep regimen?

Yes, it's the exact reason that it is widely available on the NHS. 20,000 people took it, adherence was high, HIV rates dropped significantly.

> Sure, it's a "really good idea," but a simpler and better idea is not to have random sex in the first place

Shaming people has been tried for centuries, maybe millennia and famously _does not work_. We have ample evidence that PrEP does.

This is really cool, and I love the name

If you open a business you should be responsible enough to comply with the laws. A business that became large enough where this would become a time sink would be able to afford to hire someone.

It’s amazing how often these miracle codebases that an AI has generated are always not open source.
