Trump's effort to rebrand AI as SI doesn't go far enough. It should be called Super Human Intelligence Technology. We'd get more accurate news headlines, like: "Under Trump, Government Turns to SHIT" or "SHIT Heads Visit White House"

This is promising. The UK could go "all the way" towards rejoining the EU, Burnham tells the BBC. 🚨 EU membership is the only option that delivers £92 billion of growth. The government needs to take us back to where we belong: at the heart of Europe.

Prime Minister Burnham must now see the inevitability, if not actually joining the EU, drawing much, MUCH closer. Canada has seen the light and is being offered a first “Associate” class of membership. Surely the UK, 3000 miles closer, can go one better! Alliances are rapidly changing; so must we.
