Could someone please point me in the right direction to have a play at creating AI agents, as someone w no AI skills & only some very rudimentary experience with R? I've had a look at n8n, and I think that needs coding know-how I don't have. I have the Open AI guide. Low entry place to muck about

I love this from @theyoungfdn.bsky.social Community running clubs, ParkRuns (or walk), aerobics in a community centre where the ladies took me in when I knew no one…all places I’ve found my starting roots in a new community. (Plus all the training on Hackney Marshes with the VP Harriers years ago!)

A great summary. I felt trapped in an AI episode of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Cc decision to expand runways at Heathrow
As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
