Brilliant article by Jaron Lanier about the impact of #Ai and our human comparisons. The difference in ideas compared to mainstream is incredible: https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/23/tech-guru-jaron-lanier-the-danger-isnt-that-ai-destroys-us-its-that-it-drives-us-insane

Tech guru Jaron Lanier: ‘The danger isn’t that AI destroys us. It’s that it drives us insane’

The godfather of virtual reality has worked beside the web’s visionaries and power-brokers – but likes nothing more than to show the flaws of technology. He discusses how we can make AI work for us, how the internet takes away choice – and why he would ban TikTok

“State-owned electricity generation firm ‘could save Britons nearly £21bn a year’”
🙄 .
So wait, not having hundreds of intermediate brokers siphoning off profits (with a % contribution to Tory party funds) might, possibly, be more efficient? Who’d have thought it?

@simon that’s brilliant. Wish I had the time to experiment. Might book a few days off just to do that

If we scored when we had taken our opportunities -there were a few - the game would be different. More or less same entries into 22. More composure, less penalties. We had an overthrow, not straight, fake yellow card. If we sort out mistakes we’ll be good. Pivac trashed our team🤬. We go again! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼#6nations #Rugby #WALvIRE
