HMRC expects you to magic up business growth, profit and new jobs.
When you succeed they want you to quickly and accurately report back to them and then hand over about half your gains.
Yet they have attempted to build something and are 6 years and £800M over budget.
It’s not as easy as it looks huh!
Making Tax Digital bill hits £1bn. HMRC’s flagship project is six years behind schedule and £800m over budget

Jensen was one of the very few AI optimists, along with Elon.
Now we have to listen to doomer Dario as the AI oracle.

Sharing this one again, Jensen’s first tweet ever, earlier this year.
“Why open models matter”
Four months later, fired from the company he built from scratch over 30 years.
That a firing of such consequence occurred without a special shareholder vote tells you the real story: it was not about his capabilities in leading Nvidia as CEO, but rather about geopolitics.
And there’s still no evidence the woman was actually a spy, but evidence is an unnecessary precondition.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

One of the reasons I don’t like socialism is public bathrooms.
A public bathroom is about as basic a shared resource as you can get. Everyone gets to use it, and everyone is expected to show a little consideration for the next person. The rules aren’t particularly complicated.
And yet, a shocking number of adults can’t even manage to throw their paper towels in the trash. Some will pee all over a toilet seat and leave it for the next person. And the next person, who didn’t make the mess, certainly isn’t going to clean it up either.
Now imagine trusting these same people to collectively manage an entire economy.
We can’t even get everyone to agree that cleaning up their own pee is a personal responsibility, but somehow we’re supposed to believe everyone will become hardworking, responsible, and considerate when we’re sharing the fruits of each other’s labor.
Now, compare your average public restroom to a Buc-ee’s bathroom.
Buc-ee’s figured something out. Clean bathrooms attract customers. Customers spend money. So the company has a financial incentive to keep those bathrooms spotless. They hire people to maintain them, hold employees accountable, and compete for your business.
And people will literally plan their road trips around stopping there.
That’s capitalism. Someone recognized a problem, found a way to solve it, and made money because people valued the result.
Of course, not everyone contributes equally to society. Some people work harder, make better decisions, and take more responsibility. Others seem perfectly content making life more difficult for everyone around them.
I believe people should have the freedom to live however they choose. I also believe in helping people who genuinely need it.
But I have a hard time accepting an economic philosophy that expects me to trust everyone to act in the collective interest when some people can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves.
Buc-ee’s figured out how to get people to willingly pay for a better experience.
Socialism wants me to believe the people leaving paper towels on the floor will suddenly become responsible stewards of everyone else’s resources.
I’m going with the beaver.

nothing compares to the happiness of being chosen by a cat, especially when you know how much love they have to give.

There's a lot of Truth to this. Capitalism is a very broad term some socialists came up with in the late 19th century. The thing they mockingly call capitalism, was actually an evolution from feudalism to mercantilism to free markets. There were any number of things that went wrong in those times. And yet it's consistently better than the alternatives. That's why it defeated socialism and communism. Which have a bad habit of being worse than what they replace.
We wouldn't have called it "capitalism". That's a word which you commies use, and we capitalists accept that you lot have infinitely greater cultural clout than we have. So we just resigned ourselves to that word.
But there's nothing contradictory about being a capitalist (in the sense of a supporter of capitalism) who doesn't own capital.
