Opinions are my girlfriend's, but you wouldn't know her. She posts on a different app.
Too kind!

Was struck by the racist comments under a video of the England U17S game against Haiti on YouTube. Including use of emojis clearly designed to stand in for slurs.

Was surprised no one at ITV is employed to flag, report or delete them.

I think it's fairly clear that there are a lot of uses for AI, but the proven value seems to be in smaller, focussed use cases, like analysing medical tests. I remain unconvinced on the grand potential of LLMs.

Yes, I agree on both the risk of power generation being non-renewable and that the bubble may not last long enough to be of benefit. I was also less convinced by the article's arguments on cognitive capacity. I don't see much evidence for the bubble spurring creativity, but I don't watch it closely.

Again, the article specifically says that a lot of the capacity is solar. I'm happy to have this discussion, but would prefer to do so with someone who's read the piece in question.

On nuclear, I don't see having more nuclear capacity, something the world will have to build anyway as a negative.

You can spot a man who's spent too much time around Marxist-Leninist organisations by his invective.

Though Messner seems less keen on those who've come after her...

The article specifically says that the capacity created won't be in the specific chips being used at present, but in the manufacturing capacity for chips in general and in energy generation.

It didn't particularly go away.

It becomes everyone else's though. I agree it would be nice not to have to manage less well-organised people, but unfortunately we live in reality and the pace is set by the slowest runner.

Think you're speaking as someone who reads and internalises their emails. The call is for the people the organiser knows won't.
