This is just exquisite writing, on faith, memory, family and the poetry of Seamus Heaney. A must read, especially if like me, falling in love with Heaney’s words was the best gift that GCSE anthology left you.

I wrote a list of 15 types of work where AI is particularly helpful, and also 5 areas where it can be a trap. AI is still best, at least for now, as a co-intelligence working with humans. Knowing when to use it, and when to avoid it, is a useful skill. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/15-times-t...

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
