Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.

It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Johnson on X

Call me grumpy, but I generally think it should take less time to receive something by post than it would for someone to walk the envelope to my house on foot. At least once the distance is over 20 miles or so.

IMO it’s pretty obvious that Anthropic and OpenAI are burning cash at unsustainable rates so they want to collude under the guise of safety regulations, cut down on research costs, prevent new more efficient competitors from entering the market, and split LLM demand between them.

Holy shit. Bloomberg just verified one of my biggest scoops - that Microsoft only has 2gw of operational capacity. I had it at 1.993GW in prep for the story that @aishadown.bsky.social and I did for the guardian. Vindication! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Brody Ford @BrodyFord
Lot of speculation out there about how many GPUs are actually deployed.
Today, Microsoft has about 2GW of Al-specific capacity live. around 17% of the total fleet.
Only about 2 gigawatts of the company's current 12-gigawatt capacity is centered on Al-specific chips, the people said. This is expected to grow to about a third of the 38 gigawatts Microsoft plans to have online in 2032, they said.

I am intrigued to know what the Labour plan is for Burnham. Starmer, admittedly with the quite egregious error of judgement in appointing Mandleson, has been in the media's firing line since Day 1. They'll come for Burnham within weeks, despite the decade of fawning to Tories. What's the plan?
