Imy Khan @imytk.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Does not work. Will not work. Current evidence has suggested that robots are not solving this problem, and oftentimes making things worse. Why are we still believing this? Big Robot funding this narrative probably :/ Article may be paywalled, but it's here: www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202... 050

Imy Khan @imytk.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Ah yes, very normal behaviour when you want to negotiate a peace deal to not turn up, and instead send 15 planes to kill the other party. And to do it to a country that has continually hosted these negotiations for you. Yes, completely normal behaviour by a state that wants nothing but peace. 000
