My son was wearing Hi Viz and reflecting gear and a helmet with an embedded LED when an Islington Council van rolled through a mandatory cycle-crossing and hit him while the driver was looking at his phone. He tried to persuade me not to phone 999 in case he lost his job. I was surprisingly unmoved.
I was wearing helmet and hiviz when another parent at son's school slammed open his van door while I passed and knocked me into traffic. Said that the van had been made with a "blind spot".
I was wearing hi vis when a motorist drove into me. Passengers in the car got out to tell me the driver was really upset because she didn't see me. I didn't have much sympathy as I was picking gravel out of my hands.
I was visible. She didn't look.

I know what I really want the minister for health thinking about is our army and where it is deployed. That seems like a salient area of concern right now.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

#DerelictIreland is part of the outworking of the system governed by #FFFG
Other side effects include #VacantIreland, where hoarding property isn’t penalised enough, empty Ireland where so many of our young people have left, & car-dependent Ireland, where public transport is weekly, not daily.

There is already a nuclear-armed country in the Middle East that does not allow international inspectors despite having nukes for decades - and it’s not Iran.
Israel is also one of a handful of countries to have never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

There's a lot of big news today/this week, but Apple just dropped a nuke of a paper about LLMs & LRMs, specially around "high-complexity tasks where both models experience complete collapse." This is the biggest sign yet that if AI ever lives up the hype, it won't be via those approaches:
