I miss the days when to fill a CD for a video game; people thought to themselves just an inappropriate metal soundtrack.

Landlords bring in £56bn per year, but £26bn of that is profit just landing in their bank accounts and doing very little for the economy (except being taxed at lower rates than employees).

Landlords are a brake on growth

![Star Trek Voyager scene. Captain Janeway in red and black uniform is standing next to a food replicator, which looks like a wall panel with touch interface buttons and a lil cubby inside where things just appear when she asks for what she wants. It's an otherwise normal starship room with some nice future space lighting sconces, probably the mess hall. Ok so she's standing alongside it and the closed caption reads, "Coffee, black."
Next picture is closer in and Janeway looks surprised and offended at the replicator. Closed caption reads, "[Computer]: Make it yourself."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreicfgac2qcsnmmh65tpu5ihvnnbvwvt3gkjo2qxdiie4zgcj4lvw6i@jpeg)

I am hardly a natural Rayner cheerleader, but genuinely furious that she's gone. Laurie Magnus's verdict confirms she acted on advice, she just missed the disclaimer saying she should get extra advice. Not just an honest mistake - a mistake literally anyone could make. There but for the grace etc...

All AI is not generative AI. Generative AI is just one kind of AI. Other, less problematic, kinds of AI are available and can be very useful.
