@noampomsky This is actually quite cool

friend is in the stage of claude psychosis where he asks claude to send him newspapers about what claude is doing for him

At this weekends @encodeclub hackathon with @learattei building a cutesie shared couples retreat as a mini-app in @luffaapp - including on-chain rewards for completing positve actions for your relationship #luffahackathon

A great appointment and proof that AI ought to be an issue on which there is cross party agreement and a willingness to draw on the expertise of all

@b1rdmania Yas 🙌

Working on something new. Series of events for people actually building AI / infra in London. Late April. More soon.

Currently spiraling because Tuesday is St. Patrick's Day and @learattei still hasn't asked me to be her Patrick.

BREAKING: Google DeepMind is doubling down on London and expanding into a HUGE new office in King's Cross. @demishassabis has just announced Platform 37 - a new office and hub for AI innovation next to King’s Cross station. The name is a nod to “Move 37,” a pivotal play made by AlphaGo in the legendary 2016 match against Go world champion Lee Sae Dol. They are also launching "The AI Exchange", a new public space dedicated to deepening understanding of AI. The impact Demis has had on UK tech and AI cannot be understated. It's AMAZING to see him and team double down and create a new landmark site of the London tech scene.

Be Matt Clifford and Alice Bentinck: > Meet at McKinsey in 2009 > Realise the top minds in the country are wasting their entering finance and consulting instead of building tech > Spend 4 years running EF as a non-profit trying to make it work > Raise £8.5m in 2015 to invest > Back Magic Pony that gets acquired for $150m 18 months later. > Instantly gain recognition in the industry > Raise more money > Back first unicorn > Expand across the world > Raise more money > Undo Global expansion > Double down on the US > See revenue growth explode, time to raise shrink and valuations double > Raise $200m and become a unicorn In that time they've backed some generational founders including @Barney_H_Y, @jamesdacombe and @nikola_mrksic and MANY MORE. Their portfolio companies are now valued at $15bn. @Alicebentinck and @matthewclifford have transformed the ecosystem through sheer will. And NONE of this includes all the work they've done outside @join_ef: > Alice founded Code First Girls and has a book published > Matt is Chair of ARIA, served as Adviser on AI to the PM after drafting an “AI Action Plan” for the UK and is now focused on making the UK rich again Two of the greats and I couldn't be happier for them.

Great to be at the launch of @BuildForBritain this evening! We’ve got to get homeownership for first time buyers a reality again. Beautiful homes for people to put roots down in 🏡 lots to do! 😉 @JamesCleverly 🧱

for those asking, the London event in question we are hosting our first cafe compute in London w/ the OpenAI team :) luma.com/cclondon26

Exceptional founders, like @elevenlabs @matiii, are showing a relentless culture of agency in UK AI. In government, we want to match it and build together! 🇬🇧

@qwerty_ytrevvq You are a true hero

if even 1% of the 200k builds something using these APIs - i’ll be happy this article was worth every minute

Looking for founder / cofounder level engineers in London and uae who want to work on a new ai first experimental messaging platform. World class comp total freedom. Email me at herman@improbable.io with your GitHub or equivalent.

The market is drowning in AI wrappers. Building a tool that scrapes Parliament for keywords takes a weekend. But finding the quote isn't the problem, knowing *why* it matters is. The next wave of B2B AI won't win on faster retrieval. It will win by answering the "so what."

@learattei Shocked pikachu

I was also there ☺️

Packed house @encodeclub tonight listening to Jason from AskPhi.io talking about the use of behavioural science in AI marketing

The UK Government has just OFFICIALLY launched Sovereign AI, the Government’s new £500m venture fund and it looks FRESH. The Unit has been given £500 million to invest to help build and scale AI capabilities on British shores. It's been know about for a few months but it has officially launched its brand and website and it looks FRESH. The team itself is also STACKED: > @Jameswise: Partner at Balderton and Chair > Joséphine Kant: Head of Ventures aka running the show And of course the Minister of AI - @KanishkaNarayan This is one of the most exciting initiatives in the UK right now and I can't wait to see what they invest in. Check it out here: sovereignai.gov.uk and follow them on @UKSovereignAI

Such an impressive team 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚀🚀🚀

Today, we hosted a small group of exceptional British founders to discuss how Sovereign AI can support them on their journey to scale in the UK and win everywhere. We're building Sovereign AI for founders. Lets get Britmaxxing.

Sovereign AI launches today - making this happen was one of my main motivations for writing the AI Opportunities Action Plan. Excited to see my former colleagues go after it with such energy and ambition!👇
