AI needs to invent AI to create use cases for AI beyond the underwhelming ones we have now.

One of my clients is a huge advocate of the brilliance of AI but still employs me to help them with pitches, business plans and client proposals. In other words, anything with a human audience.

I was lucky enough to be still frequenting clubs when this was out. Iconic.

Let the micro-management begin!!! Until replaced with the spraying of random edicts a couple of weeks from now. Bye bye CBS.

Credit to PayPal and vendors. When I explained they mostly refunded. To this day I don’t know how he didn’t get scammed by bogus companies. Something must have been working in his head.

People also forget that electric motors are a mature and established tech. Decades.

How about my dad using PayPal to pay for about nearly £500 worth of software to ‘fix’ his computer. Many repeat buys, most not downloaded.

Easy test. Ask them if they want to see fewer brown faces on streets and on TV. If the answer is yes then racist.

I despair. Seems like labour tories reform and most media will continue to pursue the fabricated migrant crisis until we break everything. It is what the bad actors want. Why do we take our lead from these gobshites?

Looks like the New Statesman believes that a good portion of its readership might be racists so it is pussyfooting around the topic. Racism is wrong. Call it out.

We need more recognition of the people who quietly work behind the scenes to build a better world for all of us rather than always talking about attention seeking individuals who seek power through division and in the end do little to take humanity forward. RIP the prof.

This week, we lost a leading scientist. Prof Amilcar Tanuri, who died with 67 years after leading the scientific response to Zika, HIV, COVID-19 and multiple other epidemics in Brazil. I was so fortunate to have Prof Tanuri as a mentor and friend for over 3 decades. Rest in peace my friend.

What? Which particular types of inflows and outflows? I wish we didn’t lump it all together. Which bit isn’t working? Nurses or doctors? Fruit pickers? Factory or construction workers? Researchers or academics? Tech workers? People studying? Who should we send ‘home’? Or is it just brown people? FFS

Breaking is easy. But it brings disruption and pain. But for what in return?

Reform bring no insight into what would replace the things they break. ECHR, deport people with leave to remain, NHS, regulations ….

Just get rid of these things. Nothing else. Have we not learned from Brexit?

They should just be done with it and chip us all and chase us around with drones.

Turns out that governing a country requires less work than I thought. Just a few knee-jerk reactions every couple of weeks.

Billionaires are shit at running countries. Turns out that making things better for others requires a very different perspective than self enrichment. Who knew.

Our leaders are cowards. The Farage plan shouldn’t require discussion or political calculation. It is wrong. On every level. Speak out.
