Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces 'catastrophic' cuts

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

@bbcnewsfeed I read physics at university so this is very ouchy.

Fortunately the UK government is happy to fund AI so we'll have absolutely no problem identifying where a huge chunk of money was wasted. The private sector would do ai research regardless. The more you put into a bubble the quicker it bursts so I guess there is some tiny sliver of silver lining.
