So how do you differentiate between “good AI” and “bad AI”? Eg. Google’s AlphaEvolve has already improved data centre cooling; AlphaFold has helped accelerate biological research. Loads more examples - or is it just consumer AI you object to?

They’re offering a return to rickets and diphtheria. What is wrong with these people?

How on earth anyone can take Musk’s band of little incel rats seriously is beyond me. Sad to see them so far down the rabbit hole at such a young age.

This isn’t going to end well, is it? We can see it heading to a very sticky end. Even more worrying is that 30-odd percent of the US population seem to be happy with the hardcore fascism. And they have guns.

With all the chaos going on in the world today - all those blossoms add a little cheer! Thanks for that :)

And 70 million Americans voted for it.

I’m still struggling to understand why so many Americans have given Trump, Musk and their merry band of little incel rats to cause so much damage.

And what did he do the day after? Play golf. What an idiot.

These people are just making themselves look ridiculous now. The USA is being ridiculed all over the world.

70-odd million Americans voted for him so surely that’s what they want? I do feel a bit sorry for all of those that didn’t vote Trump but the end of American imperialism & exceptionalism can’t come quickly enough for the rest of the world.

In fact, all the rest of the world will be doing this too and trading freely with each other. Thus sidelining the USA for ever. Trump doesn’t understand that the USA is not as strong as he believes. Sadly the only people that will suffer are the US public.

No, and that’s sad for the USA. 70 years of soft power destroyed in a few weeks and never to return. Trump is making the USA inconsequential on the world stage, but perhaps that is be design to make him Emperor.

The other half of the challenge is persuading people that the extra tax gets spent on better public services, pensions etc. that they can see improving their lives and those of their friends and family. Unfortunately, our right wing press would have a field day with stories of the “undeserving”.

Like quite a few others, I left X and deleted my account a while back. This is a much nicer place.

Sound very much like that famous IBM quote about their being a world market for 4 or 5 computers.
Rather than contracting the market, Deepseek’s frameworks massively expand and democratise access. Now anyone with half a million dollars can train their own foundation models…

It makes for an easy decision in any case.

Ooh. That’s lovely. Here’s one of mine, found on the side of a rotten log on Mull.

This would be a *really* good idea. Industry and academia need to work out how to understand each other - and that’s going to be driven by people and relationships.
