A rare moment of political courage in the British Parliament.
British MP Nick Timothy tells Muslims crying “Islamophobia” to shove it: “Muhammad was a false prophet. Britain is not bound by Islam or Sharia.”
What turned the nation that once set the standard for Western civilisation into a people that now hates its own history, sacrifices its own children, and bends the knee to those who want it destroyed?
Britain was the moral compass of the free world. Cold, reserved, unsentimental. Never stupid, never suicidal. While America turned the hamburger into a global brand, you drank tea with an accent that announced you as the heirs of Shakespeare, common law, parliamentary government and an empire that had shaped the modern world. You were not ashamed of what made you British. You treated it as a birthright.
What changed?
How did a people famous for the stiff upper lip become addicted to self-flagellation?
How did defending your borders, your culture and your own become a thought crime, while importing those who openly despise everything you represent became a civic virtue?
The moment anyone names the pattern, it is not outsiders who come for them. It is their own institutions.
You keep open the embassy of the Iranian regime that has plotted terror on British soil and called for the murder of Britons. You sanction the one ally that warned you and helped stop the attack. You send troops abroad while jihadists walk free on your streets. Anyone who points this out is branded the problem by the same establishment that created it.
Other nations should study Britain as a warning, not a model. Watch for the symptoms: when your elites treat your own people as the enemy. When patriotism becomes a sin and open borders a sacrament. When the votes of those who reject your civilisation matter more than the safety of those who built it. Britain chose that path. The results are no longer deniable.
Protect your own people first. Stop appeasing those who hate you.
Enough is enough is enough!
I love the freedom of creating from scratch. That sheet of white paper and blue sky thinking are so exciting. Anything is possible - and never more so than today! I’m working on our launch campaign for LoveSunny.me. What are you creating that excites you?

I've been mind-blown by Instinct. There basically isn't an interface! It lives in my iMessage, WhatsApp, email and calendar, and just gets on with useful work. Is this super simple approach the next big revolution for experience? I'd love to know what you think.

Every AI-twin launch this year proved the demand, but almost none answered the real question: did the person approve what it just said?

We keep talking about whether AI makes investors obsolete. I want to keep that conversation going, so I'm trying Boardy on iMessage.

The more valuable your experience becomes, the more people want access to it. Another question. Another "quick call." Another version of the same conversation. A Sona handles what doesn't need you to be there... so the things that do, actually get you.

Sonaverse.ai is live! Now they can talk back. Real, verified people you can talk to. Not a clone. It’s the essence of the person, their personality and character, on the record.

I’m thinking of moving one of my apps from @vercel to @Cloudflare . Anyone got a steer on this?

Simply freeing up information that's trapped in documents, etc., isn't good enough because anybody can do that with a RAG system and AI. The critical difference with Sonaverse is that a sona is a deeply accurate analysis of an individual's personality that delivers in character.

Woke up to find Claude usage has been zeroed by @AnthropicAI. So relieved as my Fable weekly usage was almost maxed out and still 4 days to go😅

It's been interesting and puzzling to witness the problems with accuracy in UK economic statistics over the past few years. (See the links in the next tweet for more.) It seems that the Office for National Statistics, ONS, now struggles to effectively measure basic figures such as employment, trade, and inflation. This resulted in a quite scathing government report published last summer, where Robert Devereux, a former permanent secretary, concluded that "most of the well-publicised problems with core economic statistics are the consequence of ONS’s own performance."
There's a lot of discussion about the travails facing the UK these days (including this big piece in The Atlantic a few weeks ago[1]), and the problems with the ONS feel like an unsettling microcosm of diffuse decline in broader institutional competence.
Anyhow: at Stripe, we became curious about the UK's published entrepreneurship data. While we observe a boom in many parts of the world, official figures don't show a similar increase in the UK. In the latest Stripe Economics post, we dug into the data, and, as far as we can tell, the official figures are probably misleading. The good and the bad news (mostly good, I think!) is that the UK is almost certainly witnessing an unmeasured boom in entrepreneurship: stripeeconomics.com/p/is-the…
UK-specific issues aside, I suspect that this measurement question is illustrative of forthcoming econometric challenges. Keeping the world's macro indicators up-to-date in response to the faster-than-usual changes wrought by AI will be both increasingly difficult and increasingly important in the coming years.

Soft launching @SonaverseWorld. Using AI is contentious but we believe that applied carefully, it can enable human wisdom to be shared more effectively. Would you use AI to amplify your message?

Hoping for a more productive day today. Im grateful that @claudeai recognised the problem yesterday and zeroed rate limits. Small blessings!
