Which company will get the contract to design, build and administer the digital id card scheme? How much will that contract be worth, and how much money is expected to be saved by its implementation?

What I learned from this debate: both sides of the immigration debate can quote data to support their viewpoint. Both sides accuse the other of using misleading data. No one has any real solutions to the immigration challenge.

I pay for and use Kagi. It is nearly as good as google used to be and is a lot better than google is now. I also use Duck Duck Go from time to time but Kagi gives better results most of the time. Listen to @edzitron.com for info why google search now sucks.

What of OpenAI long term financial viability? Google has massive revenue sources while OpenAI is burning cash fast. OpenAI may have better tech for now, but it hasn’t proven it can scale long term. As the saying goes: “the pioneers got the arrows, the settlers got the corn.”

This is all too typical.

The cherry on the cake is the ‘I get it’. It is exactly what Prime Ministers say these days, while doubling down on their agenda.

The focus group which says that this is an effective response should be disbanded.
