The best way I’ve come up with of explaining what is happening with AI is that traditional businesses are going to be turned “inside out” with experts on the periphery and AI at the core. This is deep…. Very deep… #AIFirst

So far, I’ve learnt how to prompt. Learnt how to operationalise with context and constraint. Learnt how to code (I could do that before) from prompts. Learnt how to actually engineer using AI. And learnt how to rebuild systems in a fraction of the time. Repeatable, supportable.

The more I use AI the more I am convinced of the world changing predictions that AI leaders have been making. It’s difficult to comprehend how quick and how deep the change to the Western World will be. It’s going to cause a lot of turmoil that will be difficult to control.

I just love the sound of our dog snoring soundly under my desk while I work.... She is clearly ready to spring into action at any moment :-) – at Bingley, England

-5°C this morning and forecast to be a cold week. Can't help but wonder if this will be the week when the UK runs out of gas.... 3 days storage. Boilers on full. – at Bingley, England

Bridget Phillipson wants to boast teacher numbers are up, even though teacher numbers are down, so she now says the loss of 2,900 primary school teachers doesn't count. I made a tool so you can look up what happened to primary school teachers in your constituency. (Link below)

The difference between where you are and where you want to be is knowledge because if you knew how to get there (and actually wanted to) you wouldn't be able to think or do anything else.

I am feeling slightly amused at being spammed by people who I worked with 15+ years ago reaching out to connect on LinkedIn with their #opentowork banner proudly displayed... Some I have never worked with but know my ex-colleagues have tried too.. #nothanks seems disingenuous – at Bingley, England

Happy plot night! The best celebration in the British calendar! IMHO. Defeating insurrection. Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot...... Hope you all have a fab bonfire night 🔥 – at Bingley, England

"Niche down." The words that cause too many people to quit their dream of doing their own thing. Let's change that. How to create your niche of one (by being yourself):

Today a colleague had a realisation about capitalism. What it meant. Why it means what it says on the tin. And what the objective is. We were talking to a PE house. Their description, his questions and a bit of discussion led to an epiphany. Who else doesn't know? – at Bingley, England

1/ 🧵 Should applying for innovation funding feel like a lottery? The recent Innovate UK "Women in Innovation" call had 1,452 applications for just 25 awards. With odds like that, is the system pushing innovators too hard? Let’s dive in.

6/ 💬 Increasing the budget could cover these economic costs and send a strong message to innovators that their work is valued. But this isn’t just about money—it’s about building a system that truly supports innovation.
