It must take quite an astonishing level of self-deception to announce AI tutoring for 450,000 children as a triumph and also to announce a ban on Youtube for children as a triumph - less than a week later - without suffering from cognitive dissonance

As a cyclist myself can I apologise on behalf of the community for this unmannerly individual
Michael Gove just wandered out in front of my bike against a red light. What a remarkable commitment to proving @MPIainDS wrong. Turns out the biggest menace to cyclists is middle-aged politicians ignoring the Highway Code As the song goes, he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

I can't even work out whether this is a joke, that's how far the Overton window on government control of our lives has shifted in the space of a decade... (I think its a joke, but...)
The age limit should rise every year so that by 2092, no one in Britain is online.

Why do the British live like hermit crabs?
My cousin in the UK is moving house tomorrow, six people in the "chain". One of them this morning just sent an email saying he's £20,000 short and asking everyone else to jointly make up the difference or the entire deal folds.

oh my god inflicting ai tutors on the poorest in society, when their effects are so little understood, is the height of irresponsibility. this government has been entirely captured by the tech industry
Keir Starmer has announced that AI tutors will be rolled out to 450,000 children on free school meals to close the attainment gap. Speaking at London Tech Week, the PM also announced the government's new AI jobseeking tool.

Why not make this easier and just put together a short list of the things we are going to be allowed rather than have to go through all the millions and trillions of things that we aren't going to be allowed one by one...

Only us olds even know what a photograph is now. The young only know video, and so the clip of Polanski running is the only thing between the country and total financial collapse

So much space in space that it boggles the mind!
Terrestrial datacenters will increasingly be bottlenecked by permitted real estate space. Lots of space in space.

this had me struggling too - I decided to focus on what things *were* unlocks for me instead. I built an agent to send me a daily alignment/affirmation text that summarizes *how* my activities line up to my long term goals. This allows me to reflect and brings me joy.

NB The Times and The Financial Times are both running "Labour MP whose husband is accused of spying for China is alleged to have inappropriate relationship with senior naval officer", but although both stories are about the same MP, they're two different senior naval officers
Replying to @AVMikhailova
The senior naval officer Reid was reported for 'inappropriate' behaviour with at Faslane is *separate* to the captain she is linked to tonight by the FT's @LOS_Fisher The captain has reportedly stepped back from duties after text messages exchanged with Reid
