100 experts, chaired by an eminent professor with personal experience, spend months researching a report saying young people today have it tough. Fortunately, Carol (Living in Spain: Union Jack profile), Terry (motor bike) & Dave (holding a fish) will be along in a moment to tell them they’re wrong.

Interesting that, so far as I’m aware, without this being discussed, we seem to have implicitly authorised tech companies to take these ‘risks’ on our behalf?

This little ‘detail’ is quite a way down the Cyprus drone attack story, isn’t it?

This is, of course, stupid. Technology was supposed to have us work less - not more. But, as I've said over and over, it's not AI and what it can do we should fear, but who owns it and what they'll do with it.

No joke so funny that AI not getting it can’t make it better!

I wrote this 8 or 9 years ago. It’s towards the end of the ‘Conscious’ novel. Not exactly spot on yet but who knows?

Should striking a contrast with Reform really be so much of a problem for a Labour government?

A reminder, if needed, that, when the super-rich talk about 'humanity's survival', they're not talking about billions of people surviving - just them.
