If we didn’t spend billions on random shit for boomers then, we’d have trillions to spend on random shit for boomers now.
‘We'd have a British sovereign wealth fund now that will be worth probably a trillion pounds’
Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP suggests what Britain could have gained if it had set up an energy wealth fund like Norway’s back in the 1980s

The British education system is institutionalised ludditism.
Young people actively hate AI.
My two younger daughters are 19 and 18, both at universities - one in the UK the other in Italy. Through them, I happen to know quite a few kids their age.
And ALL OF THEM seem to universally hate AI.
To them it's "something old people invented that we now have to deal with... as if climate change wasnt enough"
AI is cringe. When they introduce me to their friends, they literally say "heyya, meet my dad, he's a software engineer but nonono, NOT IN AI, dont worry, hahah".
They hate it for flooding their social feeds with slop, ruining music, taking phone scams to the next level, also destroying careers & devaluing their hobbies - why become an architect, this skill is about to become worthless? Why learn a musical instrument if session musicians are already obsolete?
The outcome is interesting, though - they're spending less and less time on public social, meeting up IRL, moving their online lives into private group chats with actual verified friends. TikTok and Reels are increasingly cringe-something for old dudes.
Which, I guess, might be a net positive after all...
MicroAGI are cooking some incredibly cool things up.
There will be humanoid robots among us sooner than you think.
Frontier LLMs are like the stereotype of a genius who struggles to change a lightbulb or the oil in their car.
They have great visual and spatial reasoning but they struggle to control a robot body and get it to perform simple tasks. We used tens of thousands of hours of videos to train a specialised model that’s a great handyman, not a math professor

Who here would come to a comedy tech talks event?
5 min talks about some technical thing with the caveat that they should be funny as well as entertaining.
Can’t wait for 50 years time when all the Americans are like “remember how WE saved Europe and won the war against Russia”

I have calculated how long it would take the triple lock on state pensions to consume all energy available in the UK, and then the Earth, and the solar system and beyond. Is this the solution to the Fermi paradox?
I also show how the British planning system may be the universes only respite from this all consuming behemoth...

I’m 100% sure the future will be better than the past.
The problem: over the last year, my timelines have extended. It used to be “within the next 10 years”
Now it’s: “within the next 100 years”
What do I do with this information?
