I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

The definition of wealth is a widely debated subject. For me it’s when you’d rather significantly increase your VO2 max than significantly increase your bank balance.

This (and the whole thread). Yes, Reeves was facing hard decisions and wanted to fund services. But no strategic vision was shown.
And fuel duty in particular was daft. Missed opportunity to set it back on path to regular inflation-based rises, and fund eg bus travel.

There are 12,000 appointments still to fill over the next 2 weeks – go to blood.co.uk to register and help @GiveBloodUK to fill them.

This moment from @KamalaHarris’ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing has never left me.
"Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?"

"But no matter the medicinal virtues of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self; the ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone."
— David Whyte
