Hi, I’m Alan.
In case you’ve missed my last 2 decades on social media, I’m a total car nerd, particularly about the Toyota Yaris, but I also cycle and enjoy hiking.
Trains, buses and public transport/transit are cool too and I think all those should be cleaner, more frequent and cheaper.

There's a new Smith and Sniff out today because it's a Monday, but it's not a recording of last week's Glasgow live show because we messed up and it wasn't recorded. Shame, it was a fun show. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

I had to have a sneaky cheat as I’m learning that I don’t know some parts of the world very well at all.
(If you asked me to point at this city on a map I could get close, but reverse engineering that is hard.)

This is what I see in responsible enterprises.
It’s not the same vision that’s being touted by solution vendors and AI-vangelists, or that’s being reported by the tech press. It’s far more nuanced, and involves much more control over who and what.
