In the international arena there is an over proliferation of AI organisations, think tanks and associations, all looking at governance and responsible, ethical and safe AI. AI for good, AI for humanity, AI for science. None of them are AI experts but all jumped on the bandwagon. Just hype. A bubble

Saying ‘I support Palestine Action’ is not unlawful (we knew that, and we knew as well that Starmer as a HR lawyer should have known this)
So who is going to pay for arresting grannies and peaceful protesters and misusing public funds to carry out those unnecessary arrests?

There is nothing worst than when someone is carrying on trying to explain his/her speciality without any interaction with the class. For 3 full hours no stop! Online teaching is already tedious and staying focused is difficult, my head is 🤯 and it reminds me of old school teaching methods!

between drafting the file for conciliator, chasing the insurer of my former estate agent, applying for jobs, preparing interviews and also following up the master, trying to be a good student with the assignments, and trying to find a new tenant for my flat in Paris, I feel really under the water 😞

I don’t know you, but I receive so many emails from banks, apps, subscriptions about changes of terms and conditions, change of policies plus now everything is sent by email, I cannot follow anymore what they say. I ignore them … and I miss also payments because they are buried under these emails …🥲

MacSweeney is a Mossad’s asset.
Allan is a Putin’s asset.

I guess the whole cabinet is so rotten they are just protecting themselves at the moment.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
