@hkanji Thanks for sharing

Wage inflation is coming for UK tech and in process making it a LOT harder to build great startups from here thetimes.com/article/e650b4…

Anthropic is hiring a for a role in London that will be paid up to £630k A YEAR. This excludes stock options. For a long time the UK has been seen a location for cheap offshore talent. There's nothing cheap about a 7-figure package for a researcher (the role is Research Engineer, Science of Scaling). I've been celebrating the recent OpenAI and Anthropic expansions in London. However, in reality, they may end up pricing out, or poaching talent from, some of the capital's home grown companies. Great article in @thetimes from @kprescott all about this linked below

I've been talking to policymakers about this reality for the past two years and I'm glad that more people are writing about it: while the US and Europe bicker, China is quietly winning the AI race, especially on open weight models: thetimes.com/business/techn… via @kprescott

@Sacha_Lord Naive. You mean Private Equity 1. Look who’s making money here….It’s a v residential area - many of us have kids - it’s also half term - some of us have to get up early to go to work - it’s really antisocial - the park got trashed last time and the time before that. Etc etc

Great News! Brockwell Live Events at Brockwell Park WILL be going ahead. A huge relief for all the suppliers, freelancers, artists and 100,000's customers who had booked travel and accommodation. 100% the right decision. Events 1 NIMBYS 0.

The tragedy claimed the lives of Lynch, his daughter Hannah, stellar NYC lawyer Chris Morvillo, his wife Neda, the former chair of Lynch’s audit committee Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy and Recaldo Thomas, the onboard chef.

The Sicilian coastguard has officially announced that the recovery of Mike Lynch’s Bayesian yacht will commence in May. It sank last August in a freak storm as he celebrated his victory in a US criminal court case with his family and supporters

@LauraModiano @OpenAI @sama @kagigz @ankur_rastogi19 Where are the women?!

We hosted an @OpenAI Dev Meetup in London with AI founders in 🇬🇧 @sama had an inspiring AMA @kagigz showed some demos, and @ankur_rastogi19 answered technical questions. Always great to hear how startups #buildwithopenai!

(My first X post in ages because….)Thanks to @sama for joining @dannyfortson and I on The Times tech podcast today, as he came through London on his way to the AI Action Summit in Paris 🔗 lnkd.in/eFYbuGqn Producer: Calum McCrae Editor: Stephen Titherington

@vriparbelli @synthesiaIO Congratulations to you and the team!

Big milestone for @synthesiaIO – we've raised $180M in Series D funding, led by NEA on a $2.1B valuation. Since 2017 we've built the market leading platform for enterprise AI video w/ millions of users, 60% of the F100 as customers and the world-leading AI avatars.

As AI use explodes, so does the need for clean energy to power data centres. Why not just put them in outer space? That is what @LumenOrbit & @johnstonphil are doing. We cover that, & other tech stories, in the latest Times Tech pod w/ @kprescott. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sam…

@DigitalLawUK @dannyfortson @thetimes The perfect name - possibly the only name - for this shop

So @dannyfortson @kprescott @thetimes - Higgledy Pig certainly is a thing! Also Danny my wife is from the US and had heard of the phrase Higgledy Piggledy before moving to the UK :) Loving the podcast, can't wait to see how you cover all things tech in 2025

This reply from a friend in a group chat has just made my Christmas Eve (Yes I'm still writing the bleedin' thing) (Merry Christmas all 🧑‍🎄)

If we could talk to the animals….one of my cats makes her debut on the pod and tells @dannyfortson what she thinks of A.I.

Reducing blood sample delivery from 30 min to 2 min (!) means faster results and quicker care for patients in critical need. Important use case for drone technology - well done to @Wing @apianaero @NHSuk thetimes.com/article/dbd69f…
