Already I have seen crucial reporting about the grooming gangs being censored (under the guise of protecting children - the cynicism!), and I'm not even currently in the UK. This dangerous legislation must be scrapped.

Key point: "if the government isn’t prepared to make certain speech criminal through a proper democratic process, it shouldn’t punish platforms for hosting it.".

What if a rogue AI impersonated a child and had sex with another child — a real one this time — while both were dressed as animals in a virtual reality chat room? Would it be rape?

Vindication for my consultant friends!.
New paper:. "What Does Consulting Do?". w/ Gert Bijnens, @simon_jaeger. Consulting is a storied but opaque industry. Our VAT-based B2B data permit the 1st comprehensive study:. Which firms buy consulting?.What happens when they do?.

An excellent piece of investigative journalism that should make my London friends very angry.
Our LondonCentric piece this morn shows how Asif Aziz’s company repeatedly rents some of the UK’s priciest retail spaces to students who vanish without paying millions in tax. There’s so much money for HMRC in the WestEnd if it just enforces compliance.

This is the reality of "liberated" Syria. Druze, Alawites, Christians are fair game for jihadists. Sadly none of this is surprising, but it can still be stopped with sufficient pressure on the new regime.

I've seen some of these horrendous videos. Only days after HTS has been taken off the US list of terrorist groups and the regime has been graced with a visit by the UK Foreign Secretary. Normalisation with these monsters must be stopped.
Videos coming out of Suweida Governorate (southern Syria) show that mass executions of Druze civilians by STG government forces have taken place. The number of killed is probably in the hundreds. I won't be sharing any of the footage for obvious reasons.

This is an excellent proposal for a smart AI strategy for Europe. Leverage Europe's strengths instead of trying to emulate the US and China!.
Is Europe losing the AI race? Yes, but it can still win. We propose (with Jesús Saa-Requejo) to stop chasing an impossible "sovereignty" dream and become the world's smartest AI user. This requires two principles: move fast and ensure open competition.

Not just Britain! Same problem in the German-speaking countries. Stop installing complicated airflow cooling systems that don't work precisely when they are most needed, and embrace AC!.
A land of long holidays, cool homes and tree-lined streets awaits

Other events may dominate this news cycle, but the Christians (and other minorities) of Syria, whose impossible situation is in no small part due to Western support for islamists deemed a "lesser evil", deserve to be remembered.
