you feel that lobbyists are in control of govt policy, your evidence has been that they are being paid by companies and they write for left wing newspapers. You knitted together conclusions from disparate pieces of news including from the same rag that you say is corrupt. None of that is objective.

A shame that you don’t have free healthcare

You probably have a lot of emotional reactions in life to people having alternative views in that case

Just realised you’re a bot. A simple agree to disagree and wishing you a good day can’t switch you off. Algorithm failure.

Ok if you believe that. “14 years” and all that.

I’m feeling positive about the future - especially after the Scunthorpe intervention when it was needed. We differ in viewpoint on this. Neither is going to persuade the other and there’s no winning an argument. Good day.

Paid journalist you mean. Not a Labour Party journalist. Having influence is the job of a lobbyist - you get fired from it if you’re not. Seem la like you’re not happy with a lobbyist having airtime and influence - that’s on the media not the govt

You mean lobbyist *to* the Labour Party - totally different meaning

Lobbyists exist in all sectors and work for the companies in that sector. Not sure what the point is. Second job as journalist? Still not govt.

Lobbyist then. Same point

Journalist you mean? That’s not the govt. not sure how CEOs getting together to think of ways to fend off nationalisation strengthens your argument

So it looks good but you’re reserving judgement until you see results. Fine. But at this stage (t+9 months), the first step is a good one?

You do know I’m a stranger on the internet that happens to have a different world view to you right?

You have to manage the situation you’re given for a while. Have you seen the new laws for water companies?

Water = private company bit. Sorry should have used two simple sentences rather than combining.

Yep same here. It’s going to take a while as these are private companies or we buy energy on the world market. We ran down stockpiles under the last govt so we’re now susceptible to global lurches without buffer stock.

Incredibly disrespectful to those that suffered under the Nazis for you to equate the magnitude of that to today’s England.

Ok you’re not able to have a discussion without insults. Many people can’t

Ok we have to disagree on all those points. That’s fine.

I expected better journalism from Byline. Have you noticed the changes to law around workers rights, rail, energy, water, housing, private schools, plus NHS waiting lists, and many more. I think you don’t like his tackling of the
Immigration situation and that’s shaping your views.

You mean who has interest bearing accounts at the federal reserve? This isn’t debt like household debt. Before buying the interest bearing instruments they had this amount is dollars in a current account at the fed. Because they have acquired $ through selling more to US than buying from.

Yes I doubt this tool is meant to justify switching off poverty prevention methods, teaching respect for females etc…just a tool for those that turn into murderers.
comment in response to
post
Yep. But if you know the key signs for say, incel murder, then it pays to look for people exhibiting those and keep an eye on them. Like is done now for potential terrorists and stops bombs going off.
comment in response to
post
Academics have been trying to predict who will commit murder for 100yrs. Looks like a machine learning model where features of murderers and non murderers are used to train the algorithm to spot the difference. No problem. Problems arise around policies for false positives and false pos rate.

Sounds like just a statement based on recent opinion polls

What’s important is the amount of assets that left not number of people. If people sold their property and left, or sold their UK business, those assets remain in the UK and are taxable etc.

I would imagine that pensioners selling a 3 bed in London and moving to Spain dominate the numbers

I should have read your post before posting mine
comment in response to

I read that it doesn’t matter if millionaires as individuals leave because most of their assets are fixed in the UK and therefore subject to UK laws and taxes. Eg property, businesses etc. This wealth isn’t in the form of cash in bank accounts that can be taken elsewhere.

There’s definitely a place for journalism about the trough of the technology hype curve for AI. But it’s just a curve

Yep. But not informed doubt.

Do you have any technical background in AI?
comment in response to

Yes. That’s all forecasts. But the trajectory is clear.
comment in response to
post
Interesting article but the fundamental logic is flawed imho. seems based on suggesting current state of LLMs means AI will not provide the gains. Specialised LLMs and improvements using adversarial approaches for example will fix the issues. There’s no doubt that AI will generate huge efficiencies.

Yes you’ve stated a fact there. They do. And?

I suppose we believe conspiracies or we believe the independent body that holds the govt finances to account and has a history of embarrassing govt when the numbers don’t stack up. 🤔
