So they want to control AI because it is dangerous. That's going to work. Like only the good guys have access to guns and nukes! History has taught us that you cannot put the genie back in the bottle. This is about controlling who profits from it!

If I told you what had happened to me today you wouldn't believe it because it is so absurd. It happened, that's what my life is like, stranger than fiction!

It's going to be one of those weeks. I have a "difficult" business meeting tomorrow and a lot of admin to catch up on through the week. At least now I have fewer external demands on my time and I can get on with this stuff.

Putin and Netanyahu have emboldened Trump. Enjoy the last remaining days, because who knows what fresh hell is on its way?

Simply this.
America is descending fast - and we need to ensure it does not pull down the rest of the world with it.
Particularly in Europe, we need to regroup and operate without the US.

Looking out of my kitchen window, I was intrigued to see 2 coconut shaped faces with glowing eyes peering over the fence at me. The camera catches more reflection than the eye, but I can confirm alien life exists disguised as my dining chairs.

The number of English households living in temporary accommodation more than doubled between 2010 and 2023.
Poverty and homelessness is a political preference for austerity, low wages/benefits, unchecked profiteering.

When I was a child I used to watch the Wizard of Oz and wonder how people could talk if they didn’t have a brain.
Then I got social media and, well….

In just over an hour after a 7 month wait, my #homeless friends are being "assessed" by the housing crisis team, again. This time, I hope they will be thrown a lifeline. There are no excuses for leaving the vulnerable on the streets, none, ever.
Thoughts, prayers or good vibes would be appreciated.

I've never been #homeless, but I know a couple who are. The system is stacked against them. There is even a thing called "illegally homeless"! Imagine being categorised as illegal simply because of the circumstances you are in through no fault of your own. #changerequired

I have a dilemma. This week I inherited a beautiful 5 string banjo. In folk music circles the definition of a gentleman is one who knows how to play a banjo, but doesn't! 🤣🤣🤣
