I put in a freedom of information request for her register of interests, which would reveal if she owns OpenAI shares. The government refused to share it, claiming it contains ‘personal information’.

For context, the PM’s previous AI Adviser’s register of interests *was* published.

Of course had to fit in a few more obstacles. Refueling took some time (couldn't possibly have predicted that!), more still because the first tanker was frozen or something.

But we're taxiing away from the gate, even if it is half an hour later than anticipated. Maybe I'll get out of here today!

I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

9. An autocratic ruler can quickly assert control, shutting down democratic institutions and competing poles of power, building an apparatus of state terror to crush dissent, controlling beliefs through the media, social media and other propaganda outlets. Every step makes the next one easier.

Now my flight has disappeared from the departure board and someone got a text that it's now departing at 2pm tomorrow!? I didn't get a text about that... Gate attendant is all like "you don't have to worry about that".... Excuse me if I am not reassured my dude.

And the 18:30 flight everyone rushed to book is now delayed until 23:35. Later than the replacement flight they all cancelled! Imagine paying $200 only for that to happen... 😬
