Stolid is how I would describe Nick T-S.

In common with Camilla Cavendish, I'm clueless on such matters. However, I didn't take from her that she was advocating deferring judgement to the sellers of AI, but maybe I wasn't paying sufficient attention.

Re: Thursday 2nd November 2023

Camilla Cavendish essentially said, re AI, that we should simply say "no" to the parts that we don't want. Simplistic (bleedin' obvious?), perhaps, but that's how I feel about it, too.

I switched on the TV only to hear Sue Braverman in full, frightening flow. She made reference to "our friends in the media" and it was quite obvious that there was no irony intended.

Re: Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th November 2022

I was thinking the same about poor people here being in a worse position than poor people in some other places. I used to fondly imagine that that wasn't the case. It was possibly true for a golden period, but we're fast going into reverse. To use a crude shorthand, people here have the disadvantage...
