Very excited to announce my new book: The Coming Wave
Today's AI is only the start. A wave of emerging technologies will help address global challenges & create vast wealth. But they will also create upheaval on a once unimaginable scale.

So proud and delighted that Canelo is joining DK. This is an amazing outcome for the business. It's the fruits of ten years of hard graft, so many ups, downs, adventures and moments I'll never forget. Here's to the next chapter for Canelo!

This next phase of Copilot marks the beginning of a fundamental shift in the way we connect with technology, as we give people a more natural, conversational, and personal AI companion.
1 Oct 2024
Today we’re launching our new Copilot experience. I truly believe we can deliver a calmer, more helpful and supportive era of technology, with a Copilot that is now more intuitive, more personalized, and secure. Learn more, download, and enjoy.
At Microsoft AI, we are creating an AI companion for everyone. This is the first step.

“tell toranaga-sama this is just a temporary liquidity problem, not a solvency problem. our risk model didn’t account for this level of volatility but we are confident we can weather the storm”

It's amazing and disappointing that already the government are pulling out of the exact measures that would support long term growth. Didn't think the doom loop would continue with this alacrity tbh.

To re-open 3 miles of track to Portishead, the local council had to complete a 79,187 page long planning application. If printed out, that's 14.6 miles of paper (4 1/2 times the line itself!). Then they had to wait 3 years for approval.
Yet now this project may be scrapped.🧵

Things like Project Naptime googleprojectzero.blogspot.c… show us that today's AI systems are far more powerful than they appear - you just need to build domain-specific scaffolds

Can't stop thinking about @jackclarkSF's argument that if we stopped AI development right now there would still be years - decades maybe - of further improvements via capability overhang, applications and integrations, efficiencies and learnings. I agree.

Hard agree with this. Britain needs to somehow create a cadre of MUCH better hardware jobs. Tech is preferable to finance where my entire generation of grads went, but still, there's so much more to be done here.

UK's elite hardware talent is being wasted. ‘Imperial, Oxford, and Cambridge produce world-class engineers. Yet post-graduation, their trajectory is an economic tragedy - and a hidden arbitrage opportunity.’ josef.cn/blog/uk-talent

Yesterday was the 10 year anniversary of the release of 🌎80 DAYS!🌎 🤯
Here's a quick 🧵 about how the game came to be.

Suburban intensification in C19 Vienna, with mansion blocks replacing the older fabric still visible in the foreground. Maybe a 300% increase in density, and probably better sanitation and build quality. The modern form of most European cities is the result of this process.

London could be affordable if councils allowed Islington style town houses, & Pimlico flats- or if govt created a permitted development for that. We could make London affordable: Labour are following the Tories in deciding not to. Big shame, especially for the young.

London is the least affordable place, and always has been. Does that mean that every year we increase the targets in London compared with everywhere else? Just creates total fantasy targets for London which won't be delivered.

We re-framed the newly restored Battle of San Romano by Uccello last week. We replaced a 20th century gilded replica with a newly made 15th century style intarsia frame, made from walnut with boxwood inlay.

It's a small hill I will die on that the Booker Prize should never have been opened to American authors. Such an obvious and pathetic own-goal for British (and Commonwealth) writing.

This is a very important paper.
"I find that a 1% decline in public R&D spillovers causes a 0.17% decline in productivity growth. Public R&D spillovers are three times as impactful as private R&D
spillovers for firm productivity and their impact persists at the sector level."

It's rained almost every evening in the Cotswolds this year. But tonight we had sun and beautiful skies. Huh.
