I swear big tech is now run by people who spend their days going from meeting to meeting - in town cars and planes - or client dinners at very expensive restaurants. And they have all looked at their PAs and thought "we should democratise THAT".
Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra.
Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

A few years ago (pre-AI) I worked for a company (large, enterprise) that was trying to 'professionalise' a traditional blue collar industry: add CRM+ERP, automate, add digital sales flows, self-service support. It was a disaster.

Big tech doesn't get 'it'. It's why AI is a consumer nightmare. Why they think we're all constantly struggling to book flights. Why everyone uses Salesforce and yet customer data and experiences remain horribly fragmented.
There's an arrogance to it. "We can just...". You can't

They’re running out of ways to improve and train the models that result in leaps that feel significant. They’re asking for regulation to force them to slow down so that they can use that to hide behind in reporting to investors. “Sorry, can’t make a better model- regulation!”
Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster.
The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself.
He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.
And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said.
All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity.
Tell me this timing isn't strange.

I now have gay friends who were too young to have experienced this which is WILD to me (because I'm 27 obvs)

Most of the pro America stuff is: things are BIGGER! There is more of everything!”
Most of the pro Europe stuff is: “things are closer! Everything is more leisurely!”
And it’s like, yes, these two things are mutually exclusive and the reason these places are the way they are
I lived in the US for the first 40 years of my life. Then I moved to Europe.
Here are 10 things I think Americans get right that Europeans should admit:
1/ AC. I’m sorry, but being hot inside your house is awful. Full stop.
2/ Ice in drinks. Lots of it. I want my Coke COLD.
3/ Free refills. If my drink is empty, just fill it back up. We don’t need to make this complicated.
4/ Customer service. Yes, Americans can take it too far. But sometimes I just want someone to actually help me.
5/ Convenience. Drive-thrus, 24 hour pharmacies, and Amazon showing up tomorrow. And being able to buy tires and eyeglasses in the same store. Amazing.
6/ Big refrigerators. Sue me, but I like having enough room to actually put groceries in my refrigerator.
7/ American grocery stores. I’m sorry, but walking into a huge American supermarket with 80 kinds of cereal, 15 kinds of peanut butter and an entire aisle dedicated to potato chips is peak.
8/ Bacon. It’s just not the same over here.
9/ Sports. Europeans have soccer, and they deserve credit for that. But we have football, baseball, basketball, college sports… and somehow Americans can turn almost anything into a reason to tailgate.
10/ Optimism. Americans can be loud and ridiculous, but I miss the attitude that you can always try something new and build a better life.
I love living in Europe.
But living here has made me appreciate America in ways I never expected.

Yes.
My parents bought their house in the 80’s in north London for £125k that home is now worth nearly £2 million.. they live on a pension.. property rich cash poor !!! If Burnham brings in the 0.48% tax that would make them liable to a council tax bill of £9600 a year
Anyone else see the problem here ?

Data can be a bitch. It ignores context. Like a post-war period dealing with bomb damage, displaced families, construction delayed due to said wars, government investment to drive economic growth etc.

The faces of two people who have never had a hungover Tortilla :(
We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40 bbc.in/447PSMa
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The couple's early retirement resulted from high incomes as an actuary and business owner combined with extreme frugality, not just packed lunches; they now run free financial education courses. bbc.com/news/articles/… rebeldonegans.com

This is going to look like it contradicts my last answer BUT the answer is now 2. Sloane Square for shopping. Battersea and Clapham for lols. Hyde park. You could do a lot worse.
Let’s make it harder: you win a 2-week, all expenses paid trip to London, but you have to stay in one of these 10 blocks. Which one are you choosing?
