I totally forgot about Sky.
So much of their non-sport TV business is tied to WB.
Oh dear.

Netflix has an agreement to buy Warner Bros Discovery for the film/tv studio and also taking control of HBO and the just-about-to-launch-in-UK HBO Max streaming service. I would be verrrrrry worried if I was Sky. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Thanks to Barbara Castle we put in place really important road safety measures that now seem like common-sense such as 70MPH speed limit, breathalyser tests, mandatory seatbelts, a register for driving instructors and a strong drink limit!
