Morning all.
Oh look, they're doing bollocks instead of something concrete. Who could possibly have predicted that?

Good morning.
Yeah, doomed.
Yeah, doomed.
Starmer should have stuck to law, he's rubbish at everything else.AI is the greatest force for change in the world right now. I am determined to harness it to usher in a golden age of public service reform.

He could have left out the 'slightly' imo.Ben Ansell
@benansell.bsky.social
What worries me is not government use of AI per se but the slightly credulous way that the government talk about it, which makes me suspect they will be taken for rubes by the tech companies selling their services.

"Air temp up to 0° and ground still at --4 Diesel car only started with some warm air from a heat gun up the air intake ! ( a hair dryer wd work just as well ) .

You have to say that this morning's boosterism is very un-Starmerish. Which makes you wonder who is really behind it i suppose.

He's not actually committing himself to anything, but both you and Pippa (with her almost wholly spurious "contrast") knew that already.

For their Leader the phrase Lick up kick down was already evident in his trips to Washington on those two extradition cases . Plus of course most unusually destroying all paperwork !
Now he is going to be RUTHLESS with many more powerless people.
Surprised ?

Freezing out, but my fingers have been defrosted, leather gloves on the stove this time, so off to finish splitting yesterday's logs

We lost Sky's thoughts on AI, but here 's an example --

If you have the time, this video explains what GenAI is doing to the internet.
Precis: Companies are already using GenAI to create documentation on stuff. And it's largely crap. What is even worse is that other GenAIs are using this stuff to generate further documentation - which is even worse. The end stage is that looking in the internet for information will become an exercise in futility.
And then we can all switch off our devices and go outside and play.
