Compare and contrast the Government language.
£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.
Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.
And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

I find it really disappointing number of shops and cafes these days that do not have toilets. I find that some of the big name coffee houses such a Costa often do not have a toilet or have the toilets permanently marked as out of order.

Brilliant, essential thread from @doublepulsar.com on hype around AI cyber threats. My summary:
1. Google release a really honest paper saying some malware has used AI to morph into new capabilities but..
2. …goes on to point out that the capabilities are crap
3. Industry hype ignores part 2

There's some really big caveats to this. A thread.
New: Google says it has discovered at least 5 malware families that use AI to rewrite their code and generate new capabilities on the fly, suggesting AI-powered malware is finally starting to take off. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...
