@RoryStewartUK Great ep on AI. Isn't the first action for a good government to employ AI experts to consider the risks/opportunities for govt/society and answer the questions politicians can't? Huge opportunities for health care, justice, benefits, tax, and reducing corruption.

I was typing and playing when I should have been doing other stuff. connectionrequested.com/p/what-if?utm_…

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret How come @RoryStewartUK doen't have a Twitter blue tick and yet @campbellclaret does? And who is paying for that blue tick considering how the eejit in chief at twitter paid for @StephenKing and @neilhimself

QUESTIONS REQUEST 🚨 @RoryStewartUK + @campbellclaret are recording on Tuesday next week. What would you like them to talk about? What questions would you like them to answer? Hope you enjoyed the emergency episode on Friday, please reply with your questions below 👇

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret When I try to explain how London-centric the UK govt is to Americans, I say imagine the Whitehouse was just 3 miles from the NYSE. And then consider how that would affect govt decision-making. If you could move UK govt out of London, where would you rebuild?

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Why is govt last to change? You've mentioned AI quite a bit, but mostly with regard to regulation. What about AI in government? How much cheaper could even better healthcare be delivered in the UK if it were aided by AI? We could even sell those systems to other countries later.

@podcastguru_app Just got your message on the app asking us to follow you on Twitter. That's not going to happen. Can you use Substack or Discord or anything rather than this awful place please?

@CNN And what percentage are ready to find a more environmentally friendly way to live? Perhaps as many as 0.0047% EV manufacture causes massive pollution, whilst EVs not being as practical as ICE cars. EVs are faster, and quieter, but not really a great idea.

Almost half of Americans are not ready to buy an electric vehicle, according to a new survey cnn.it/3MHUX6j

@Snowden I sometimes still use FCPX, but now Descript does almost everything I need really easily...but maybe too much in the cloud for your liking.

Davinci Resolve is crippled in the most anger-inducing ways. A Linux CLI from 1989 can convert a file format intended for CLAY TABLETS into ALIEN BEAT POETRY. DR in *2023* is like "oh, wow, h.264? pretty exotic, there fella. aac audio? can't, sorry." Then points you to Paypal.

@ratemyskyperoom @gr_ashford No mention of the jaunty angled lamp shade!?

Nice stair view. Depth. We are pro beam. Naturally lit. Minor cord violation. 9/10 @gr_ashford

@NoContextBrits Isolation and betrayal. Aka The Brixit Banger.

What do these taste like?

@JohnBennettBBC @ChesneyHawkes Did The Tremeloes play a half time gig at the 1966 World Cup? It could be a Hawkes thing.

Oh no. Was it Chesney Hawkes who made the difference? Will he have to play at half-time all the time now? 😬

BEHIND THE SCENES! One of my favorite things about @IntimateFame is working with editor @MarkTweddle who shares surprising #revelations about #focus and #concentration. #podcast #theatre #wallissimpson #royals #meganmarkle #marilynmonroe #jamesdean #hollywood #history #fiction

Mark Zuckerberg: "Move fast and break things." Elon Musk: "OK done that. Now what?"

THe best guest they've ever had. IMHO! 😜 open.substack.com/pub/fhhpodcast…

That hill kicked everyone’s asses😂😭

@NicolaSturgeon @ScotParl His take away is that it's a humiliation to have Scotland leave. Not a single word about why Scotland might want to leave, just a lot about how it would make them look bad. Just like a self-obsessed partner before a divorce.

Make no mistake, the Tories are coming for devolution. If we don’t decide to entrench @scotparl through independence, it’s powers will be eroded - forced, according to this by one of the architects of the Brexit disaster, to ‘evolve back’ telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/1…

Writing Puzzle #29: Shorten this sensible advice to four words or fewer: "Be advised that the usage of topical lotions for the reflection and absorption of ultraviolet radiation is recommended."

@MerriamWebster I saw the Supreme Court decision this morning and I thought, "What kind of jackassery is this?"

Happy Friday afternoon. Our word for you this week is ‘jackassery,’ defined as “a piece of stupidity or folly.” Can you use it in a sentence? merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jac…

@John_Henson I think that makes today A Space Odyssey.

2000 days sober today.
