Isn’t it amazing what happens … when you mention Boris?
Frankly?
You’ll get someone — I owe regular, Olga a thank you, there — mentioning Hugh Grant.
It seems he’s offended by the Johnson administration’s decision to prorogue Parliament, as well.
Good going, Hugh.

Oh, JUST as a side issue … ?
It seems Alibaba CEO, Jack Ma, and Tesla head, Elon Musk, were at a conference, yesterday: having a debate about the benefits and perils of artificial intelligence.
Personally? I’m aware AI’s introduction will have an negative impact: but generally think it’s going to be a long term benefit.
I’m just surprised that noted science fiction fan, Elon Musk, is noticeable anti-AI: as he’s named a couple of his ship landing platforms after AI
characters in the Iain M. Banks novels.
And probably familiar with these words …
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Granted we’re still learning to build AI: and Mr Musk seems to have not realised we’re human … and like adding built in safety features …
I hope Mr Musk realises that …
