I have a feature essay for The Guardian today on the mirage of AI medicine, why care cannot be automated, and how overwhelming uptake of AI by American health capitalism threatens to undermine the very possibility of democracy.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I’d never heard of the Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels before moving to Devon. Went to see it one year, it’s a spectacular, slightly worrying and potentially dangerous sight! This year it is being streamed live on the BBC iPlayer 😊👇
