Just listened to him ramble on about AI for an eternity on the radio.

We're all going to die.

Are his advisors all so lacking in knowing anything as to have never spotted a mistake in Google's AI interventions.

We're just on the brink of bankruptcy and he's diving headfirst into what the rest of the world is beginning to realise is a boondoggle.

The PM didn't under-sell AI's potential

I love how the it isn't even considered that he over-sold AI's potential. Can't wait for roads to be closed for weeks because the AI mistook a puddle for a pothole.

The pothole thing has to be one of the dumbest arguments.

There's no problems with reporting potholes.

The delays in fixing them are because councils are skint and have to plan when best to fix them to minimise impact.

Hey, those councils won't be skint when we, *checks notes*, hand over several billion £ to American big tech.

Sorry, we need to give another 5 billion to Israel and place young British soldiers in the region for a nation that has attacked Britian and actively disavows British orders
