"AI will kill us all" is used to distract from the already growing problem of "AI is taking all the jobs" because we are heading towards mass unemployment in a capitalist end game where there is no motivation AT ALL to protect income, and none of the billionaires want to give away their money.

I may have sent the BBC a complaint about the lack of Ed Zitron in their coverage. There was a bit more, but that's the essence.

Tech stocks fall due to calls for an AI slowdown? No. Tech stocks are falling because too many people saw through the hype, and even the glacially slow and technically illiterate mainstream press are starting to understand the grift.

Culture @ the Canal is always a cool event, if you're in #Louth #Lincolnshire on Saturday.
A flier for Culture @ The Canal. This is an annual event in Louth at the Navigation Warehouse, for an afternoon of live music, heritage, and ice cream. Saturday, 12th September from 12 noon to 5pm. There's a heritage talk by Stuart Sizer at 12 noon, live music from 1pm to 5pm, ice cream from Bensley's, a Pimms bar and food from the nearby Woolpack Inn. The address is the canal warehouse and platform, The Riverhead, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 0DA. The event is free. The poster features images of the pub, ice cream with sprinkles, people playing guitars and singing, and a crowd outside the warehouse. It's presented by Louth Navigation Trust and Zero Degrees. This poster has been designed by humans, with real images of the venues and a clear, uncrowded layout.

Jackdaw is back in the news and the Government is expected to make a decision soon. But the focus on North Sea drilling risks missing the far bigger picture on where future good jobs in places like Aberdeen and Grimsby will come from Read our latest research ⬇️ buff.ly/xwQw955
Jonathan Marshall, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“As decisions on Rosebank and Jackdaw steal the headlines, politicians on all sides risk missing the bigger picture when it comes to jobs and the impact of net zero. The transition already underway is being poorly coordinated, leaving local economies planning for a net zero jobs boom that risks never arriving.

“This next phase of the transition is set to double employment in low-carbon sectors. For places like Aberdeen and Grimsby, which already have a foothold in these industries, there is a real opportunity to become net zero powerhouses, but the results so far have been underwhelming.

“To make the most of the opportunities for growth and regeneration, and to bring the costs of electricity generation down for all, the Government must be more hands on in directing investment and willing to pick regional winners.”

Reform’s housing policy isn’t family friendly- it’s just more anti women and xenophobic nonsense. If we want to support relationships we should spend less time trying to interfere in your private life and more time helping ease the pressures that come with bringing up kids. If you agree share this!
