Excellent, persuasive* piece.
*i.e. it has persuaded me
very knowable. i know it
There is absolutely zero chance his dad would have approved
Great article Alex. Deserved the cover imo
The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...
Sometimes you learn things when you do an interview with a chief executive. And sometimes, you learn things when you do not in fact do an interview with a chief executive:
It was fantastic to be joined by Housing Secretary, Steve Reed, to officially break ground on 900 new Passivhaus homes at Bollo Lane in Ealing.
Delivered by a partnership between Places for London, Barratt London and MTVH, 50% of the homes will be affordable with funding from @london.gov.uk.
I think it deters future attacks from others. Not convinced it's wise to establish a dynamic where a country can bomb us but we don't respond proportionately
Is that the way it should work? We're letting them off because they're having a hard time after they bombed us?
weird that we're getting bombed but not bombing them back
i back you
This is (basically) correct but it's only part of the picture. Also not to redo the deliverism debate but the beauty about being in government is that you can change people's material conditions and thereby make them like you. The focus of policies don't have to be purely short term popularity
Quite funny/frustrating that everyone is saying the focus should be on their pet voter group when the truth is instead that a number of voter groups are important because FPTP electoral politics is about constructing coalitions
Apparently they've bombed us again. Are we allowed to bomb them back now?
Sorry how can we not be retaliating?
Bit weird we're not bombing Iran now no?
could it be, perhaps, that she's come to believe that it's right and necessary?
didn't catch the follow up. yeah disgusting middle class like half the country and two thirds of our voters
I agree Left
:(
Good to hear you've been turned around on it
Better to not spend money on energy infrastructure and that will bring down bills both now and in the future
Lots of people have managed it just not in this country. I have more faith in the British people I suppose
We campaign a lot on energy infrastructure. It's a long road but I'll never give up
lots of non-politicians have manifestos. the unabomber for example
impossible to build them cheaper and quicker? Have to be honest I'm not a huge fan of your Too Hard, Don't Try manifesto
well yes
nothing to be done, don't try. got it
Weird. For me it's the exact opposite. (Agree with you on wagyu)
Isn't that what you're suggesting by dismissing his point because he doesn't live where you live?
