Look, this is sad, but it's been the playbook with every public good for 40+ years: make it shit via underfunding and putting arseholes in charge, then go "the private sector would do it better" and sell it off to venture capitalists. I love LOVE the (concept of the) BBC, I hope it's saveable

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.

Straightforward recommendations from @jjn1.bsky.social on how governments should manage the AI companies. @theobserveruk.bsky.social "Second – even more straightforward – we could just make AI companies legally liable for any harms that their products inflict on us humans."

But the real utility of the apocalyptic narrative for the industry is that it distracts attention from more tangible issues over which democracies could have leverage. Such as what? First, there's the monopolistic power of tech companies, something for which existing legal tools are readily available, provided governments have the political will to use them. Second – even more straightforward – we could just make AI companies legally liable for any harms that their products inflict on us humans. And then we could leave apocalypse to the movie industry, where it belongs.
