It’s interesting how binary some people’s thinking is. i.e. well it’s not practical to ask everybody for permission and we can’t not let AI succeed so the only option is to allow outright copyright theft with zero repercussions.

True. They buy from a supplier in the UK which refuses to supply print on demand titles. No such problem in the US. Or with the majority of other online UK book stores. Such a missed opportunity to support indie publishers like me in the UK.

In 2010, if somebody had told me that Linkedin would become one of the dominant social media platforms, eclipsing the likes of Twitter and Facebook for many, I would have laughed at you. But here we are.

Isn’t he just describing the nature of high risk investments?

It’s a bit like saying “a lot of capital that got invested in 15th century maritime exploration and trade failed to deliver returns”

Goldman Sachs chief David Solomon has warned that a lot of capital being invested in artificial intelligence will 'turn out not to deliver returns' but said it was still unclear whether the tech market was in a bubble. on.ft.com/46RO0bt

Saw Jane Goodall speak at SXSW London over the summer. So inspiring. Such a loss to humanity.

Very much looking forward to attending Kinference in 2 weeks time.

Very much not looking forward to flying to the US under the supervision of ATS and Boarder folks who haven’t been paid for 2+weeks.
