Fantastic to speak at October's AICON conference where I explored a critical question: Why do the most promising AI ideas often fail to reach the ‘last mile’ 💡

Brilliant day at Belfast PRIDE with the #Deloitte #PROUD network and allies. We still have a long way to go, and have had some backwards steps recently. But seeing the amount of people and supporters today, #equality for ALL is achievable. Happy PRIDE everyone

100% the #BardsTale. My first #fantasy genre game. And it got me hooked. Will never get back that first feeling of playing it (and the sheer joy of the PAPER map that came with it!) ... and so wish I could.

Also, graph paper, and drawing out all the level maps.

Pressing "play" to start your game loading while being entertained by a trippy load screen.

Can anyone know which platform I started on?

What is Greenhushing? According to the World Economic Forum, some organisations are feeling pressured by activists to "play down" - or even DITCH - their ESG goals. Instead, talk about FinOps - using less compute means producing less emissions.

Now, this is fun! Wyoming mayoral candidate proposes using an AI bot, "VIC," to run the city, raising concerns from OpenAI and officials about the bot's role in governance.

Will Vic be 2024's "HAL"?
