Their wealth is growing MUCH faster than everyone else's.
And they're using it to outbid you for real resources: housing, assets, healthcare, education and everything else of real value.

I think I'm becoming more left wing as I get older. Is it just me or is it the environment?

As philosophers grapple for the right words to describe how AI differs from human intelligence (in every conceivable way I'd say), I've started a list of things AI can't do...
- tell funny jokes
- swear convincingly
- make good-taste decisions
- walk a mile in your shoes

Enjoyed Edinburgh Critical Mass ride today in the autumn sunshine. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon - good-natured, sociable, lots of bell-ringing and waving. Thanks to the organisers and to all the drivers who waited patiently for us to pass (and waved back!)
