They've drunk the techbros' koolaid. Instead of investing in people, they're going to sink billions into energy & water guzzling AI, thereby ramping up global warming.

Gullible fools.

"The government plan features a potentially controversial scheme to unlock public data to help fuel the growth of AI businesses. This includes anonymised NHS data, which will be available for ā€œresearchers and innovatorsā€ to train their AI models"

@junesim63 'Anonymised nhs data' my foot. Do any of Wes Streeting 's staff have the remotest idea how time-consuming & costly it is to 'anonymise' personal data such that a person cannot be identified from it (for that is the test to be met)? UK Labour are marching up a primrose path decked out by private medicine providers, at the end of which is a perfect storm of data-breach claims. Don't go there #Labour . It emphatically, is NOT worth it.

@junesim63 If I had a skerrick of respect remaining for Starmer (which I didn't) this would have scorched it out of existence.

What a monumentally stupid and inept government. Really giving the Tories a run for their money.
