Woke up from a #FeverDream about being back at #school and forgetting my #PEkit to #SajidJavid interviewing #GeoffreyHinton about the #ExistentialThreat of #AI FFS

I'm not sure what is more distressing...

The waiting waiting to learn if I'd be allowed home to get my kit (the hour's cycle constituting my physical exercise)

Or Javid's swooning extraction of opinion-blurts that too often replaces critical analysis of #technology

And I reckon Javid is a #ClimateDenier. You can't have held all those #Government positions and not know what a dire state the biophysical systems are in. His gushing over AI can only be part of the distraction #circus.

#ActionForME with the ex-health-minister #SajidJavid MP have, at very-short notice, arranged a UK parliamentary debate in #WestminsterHall on #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS. It commences, I believe, at 16.30 BST. Hopefully the link to the UK’s #ParliamentTV follows:

Sajid Javid calls for royal commission to compare healthcare abroad to ‘frozen’ NHS

The former health secretary said the Conservatives and Labour privately say that the NHS is ‘unsustainable’

The Independent
“If people want to see your GPs or senior nurses or headteachers or an accountant give up their job to want to come into parliament they have to take a massive fall in their lifestyle to do it. #sajidjavid said. Brace yourself, he said that the MPs salaries should be doubled! Sickening #tories #gtto
