AI rollout in the public sector is a good thing.

But there must be a counter-balance: a Ministry for the Replaced-by-AI.

If we do nothing, we're sowing the seeds for the next Trump & Brexit.

Has Harwood-Bellis got a bit of a tummy on him?

Terrific if so - hoping it heralds a comeback for podge in football.

The tyranny of the sculpted David bods has gone on too long.

Bsky & X now both bottom rhs of my screen.

It’s a social experiment for my thumb. What snapshot of the world do u want?

One is comfy. The other is uncomfortably real.

Thumb is 50/50 rn. Feels about right.
