Exactly! It is great we are investing £500 million in helping UK startups to scale - but if we leave the market untouched, they don’t stand a chance at scaling. The UK’s competition law is far more proportionate than the EU’s so the least we could do is use it?
I don't know when it happened but somehow capitalism just gave up on competition. There is endless justification for Big Tech growth by so-called pro-market commentators. Britain should wise up and design domestic markets that allow our best to scale and compete globally.

Big news: @roapowell and I today started an AI & economics substack, Model Economy. AI will likely transform our economy & society in dramatic ways. Decisions we make today will likely shape who gains, who loses & what the future looks like. Let's go! modeleconomy.substack.com/p/…

The world of AI job loss predictions is a mess: AI CEOs oscillate between “half of jobs gone in five years” and “no need to worry” Studies ask AI to predict what jobs will go, but AI’s answers vary threefold And decisions on AI in government are based on shaky forecasts 1/2

I have written about this for @IPPRs new AI Substack. The UK government has launched a new AI economics institute to cut through the noise and build a more evidenced picture, but they have a hard task ahead of them. open.substack.com/pub/modele…
