I’m building a team of experts to develop a roadmap for how Britain and Europe can take their place among the great space powers in the 22nd century. Investments now will make the difference. We need to lobby government, build new businesses, and develop technology (1/2)

The law will just require old people to take an eye test to verify they can still see well enough to drive. Having sacrificed significant parts of our income for boomers, we are now asked to sacrifice our lives for them. You're just a blurry walking piggy bank bouncing off their.

I don’t want my sons to have the same opportunities as everyone else. I want them to have more. I want them to have an easier life than mine. I want to give them every advantage I can, knowing that every other parent is also doing that for their kids. Is this controversial?.

And no, an actual geodesic between Georgia and Georgia would not require removing France either

OK, are they going to tackle roadmen walking around in masks then? Or is this just targeting people who already obey they law?.

The guys protesting @JDVance to "prove" the UK has free speech are likely unaware they are performing an old Soviet joke Ronald Reagan told.

Biggest engagement in ages is dunking on France. I guess we know what the algorithm really wants. .
My favourite part is how they removed France too even though it’s completely unnecessary.

Today, @KemiBadenoch went to Epping to stand up for the residents who’ve been through hell since a migrant hotel opened near a local primary school 👇

Every slight discomfort or inconvenience becomes a rights issue now. People acting like they are Rosa Parks for being lazy when it’s a bit warm.

I am from a country and a continent facing decline. To reverse it and take our place in the stars we need bold moves.

The fact that this sort of thing is considered news shows that most people have absolutely no conception of the actual scale of the UK state. This is about 40 parts per billion of total spending.

They can request it but recalling how most teenagers are I don’t think it will end well for them.
🚨 NEW: Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said teachers can request their pupils call them “Mx” - a term some trans people use instead of Miss, Mrs, or Mr.

We are in a bus hurtling towards a cliff and half the passengers think steering or braking is fascism.
The problem isn’t that the Chancellor is going to raise taxes. It’s that unless something drastic changes, she and her successors are going to have to do it again, and again, and again. Me for @thetimes - thread follows (1/?)

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a complete tax rebate.

It also took a number of experiments demonstrating that the established paradigm of physics at the time could not be complete, and required alternate explanations. Even if you can put superintelligence in a box, it can’t do that part.
General Relativity took 8 years of Einstein's brain's test time compute. Once AI reaches into the task durations of years to decades it will begin to invent whole new theories about the physical world. This is the new scaling axis.

This is the end point of a bloated higher ed sector full of non performing institutions and a hamfisted attempt to prioritise skilled immigration. If you can’t run a university, just run a visa farm.
Went to University of Huddersfield London campus, on the fifth floor of this building. To see if it’s an educational establishment or a bare office fronting a visa scam. Pakistani receptionist confirmed it was the campus but said no one is allowed up as “everything is online” 🤷♂️
