Great to see The News Agents on Bluesky, I listen to your podcast every morning
However, I wish that you would leave US politics to your American version of the show
It’s more interesting when you focus on domestic UK politics alongside the major global news stories.

Imagine if he had boards of directors who actually gave a shit?

When you train people to use AI, they produce higher quality results faster than people with no training and people who are not using AI at all.
The HBS study reported that trained AI users “completed 12.2% more tasks on average and 25.1% more quickly.”
