👀 PEM convention doesn't cross red lines? No it doesn’t… it’s not a customs union q. and a full fat Veterinary agreement. Dynamic alignment with the EU, that doesn't cross the red lines? No thats part of our manifesto, an SPS agreement, a veterinary agreement, yes.

6/ it is clear from emails released to court that motivation behind Open AI, 9 years ago was to prevent “Demis” ie Deepmind ie Google to, with its vast capital and data, achieving “AGI dictatorship” … other emails obsessed with trumping counteroffers from Google for top AI talent …
