Nothing lasts forever - is this AI's Amstrad moment? A serendipitous venture into the BBC archives yesterday sparked a thought on what DeepSeek actually means for AI. Little more than a ChatGPT clone, is there much to separate it from Amstrad's IBM clones?

Questor has been stewarded by a raft of exceptional editors, who offered their memories of and reflections on their time with this column. Much as I loved the archives, these stories have been the most delightful part of these birthday celebrations.

If the mystery pension fund has done such a smart thing by investing in Bitcoin, why are they too embarrassed to admit it? Their clients are owed the truth.

Not only is the hidden £2/pint surcharge dreadful behaviour from this particular pub, the attempt to palm off the decision on the council (which confirmed it has never asked the bar to do so) proves management knows it's poor form. Great work from @matildahead_

More than that, the government considers heading the Office for Value for Money to be such an important role that they insist he works... one day per week

We've heard too many ghost stories of (mini)Budgets past - so long as Labour doesn't crash the economy, the public won't care how they managed it. We deserve to hear what some of these "long-term gains" are.
