I think one of my fears is that we are putting all our trust in vulnerable or untested technologies. Eg so much now depends on the internet. A company gets hacked, tills don't work and supply side breaks down, temporary chaos. What if that happens on a large scale? AI, don't start me!

Excellent piece from @alexhh.bsky.social. Let's just hope Burnham can deliver at least some of his proposals. At least they have inspired some much needed discussion on the provision of social care.

And of course OpenAI and Anthropic are running with it too. Rogue AI narratives easily let them off the hook for their sloppy (and embarrassing) development decisions. While also making it look to their eager investors like they're inventing god...

Meanwhile, the media and these wannabe whistleblowing ex-Anthropic / OpenAI script kiddies are running with "rogue AI" because, well, blade runner sells. Panic sells. And because the general public doesn't understand how modern software development works, we run with it too.

Well said. I was reading a politician's autobiography recently. In it they wrote that people don't remember what you said, or did, but they do remember how they felt. I feel patronised and belittled by so much of today's rhetoric. Where is the hope?

Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?

In my world, podcasts are audio and are great for daytime, to accompany me doing stuff like walking the dog or cooking. Video equates to TV and is evening entertainment. I have more than enough TV to watch. So, no I won't bother with video podcasts.

The BBC lets Farage use it as a personal propaganda channel but forces @robinince.bsky.social off air for being too left wing. Bloody hell, this country’s mainstream media is a disgrace.

I'm shocked to read this Robin. I've just been listening to Rutger Bregman, that gave me a morsel of hope, now this. Does this mean that noone who does any work at all for the BBC is allowed to say anything about anything? I will miss the Monkey Cage hugely, and now subscribe to @cosmicshambles.com
