Is it April 1st? UK Government's Technology Secretary using ChatGPT to get policy advice? Surely not?

Ah, Germany. Nothing like being in a taxi blasting up the autobahn to Frankfurt airport at 170km/h while the driver is simultaneously trying to fix the charging cable for his mobile phone

Outstanding work

Oof, Ed Does Not Hold Back

If I didn't get an invitation to attend the WEF at Davos, am I even an #AI thought leader? I'm having a crisis of confidence now...

Shill, baby, shill

Chapeau. No notes

Trying to get a bit more detailed with my loaf decoration

It’s probably time for me to reverify, so here is a festive #proofofcat

Through a good friend I've come to understand the amazing work that National Prison Radio (in the UK) does - and how it does this on an absolute SHOESTRING. This week they have a matched-donation funding campaign running. Can you spare anything? donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

I’m not at #awsreinvent this year. Tbh I can’t decide if I’m sad or happy. FOMO but it’s been a crazy 3 months for travel and my 33rd trip to Vegas can wait until 2025

Is the new DOGE going to be like one of those 70s rock supergroups containing at least 5 oversexed guys trying to steal the limelight from each other by playing double-necked guitars?

I'm not playing Black Friday I'm afraid, but if you'd still like a print, do have a little browse of my shop 👇 juliaallum.co.uk/shop/

A sudden inexplicable urge to listen to Big Audio Dynamite. Where do we all stand? Niche 1980s footnote or lovely example of the possibilities of the cultural mashup? (or perhaps both)

Hey, if you're just finding me on here, I work at IT industry research firm IDC - so expect to see a chunk of work-related stuff (news, analysis and takes on biz-tech trends relating to #AI, #automation etc). However I am also a human with an interest in baking, cats, music and general nonsense

I know British culture aficionados will say I’m late (I am) but… Christmas cake is in the oven! Forgot to buy brandy so used Cointreau instead. Early signs v promising

I had quite a few stupid hats to choose from

Sitting in a Heathrow airport cafe, reading about #AI / AGI “stone soup”… there a number of threads coming together here on agents, LLMs, “reasoning”, and fundamentally what these systems need to do to be valuable for different use cases
