Today was my last day at No 10 as the Prime Minister’s Adviser on AI. It’s been a privilege to serve over the last year and - I hope - to make a small contribution to putting the UK on the path to being an AI winner

Time from Kennedy speech to Moon landing - 8 years and 2 months. Time for DFT to legislate whether e-scooters are legal...
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).

A large part of BBC News output is about the Gaza conflict. But the BBC News chief doesn’t seem to know Hamas are a proscribed terrorist group in their entirety, and appears to be wrongly advising staff. This is basic stuff. It doesn’t fill me with confidence
Robert Nozick, dealing with grad students who weren't pleased with his course on capitalism.
The weird shadow of the mid-2000s debate on ID cards never ceases to amaze. With the need for reliable digital identification and the need to clamp down on the informal labour market, the case has never been stronger.
“It's absolutely obvious to me that people should have a digital identity... Let's stop shouting at the French. A lot of this is on us.” Ex-MI6 boss, Sir Alex Younger, backs calls for digital ID cards and adds that they could help deter small boat crossings. #Newsnight
NEW REPORT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON OCTOBER 7: “Many of the witnesses we spoke to talk of the victims being shot and the terrorists still trying to rape a dead body.” New, previously unheard testimonies of sexual violence committed by Hamas will be published next Tuesday in the…
Baffling analysis. It’s abundantly clear already that non-human systems are equal to or better than we are at appearing empathetic, patient, understanding, etc.

This is extremely funny from Harry Hill but I’m concerned he wasn’t trying to be funny
Loathe to disagree with a pope but sometimes war does solve problems. For instance, when you are attacked, or about to be attacked, you wage war. The world contains bullies and tyrants. It always has. Sometimes armed victory is needed.

A moving and informative thread from someone whose work brings a lot of joy to others.
I’ve suffered my whole life from depression and anxiety. I have both really bad today. I thought I’d try explain my typical symptoms so other sufferers or their friends and family can understand it better. This is what depression feels like… (1/12)
Right folks. Summer reads. I’m looking for novels. Inspiration needed!
German chancellor @_FriedrichMerz said he was grateful Israel was acting against Iran: "This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us." Germany, Merz said, is also affected by the regime that has "brought death and destruction to the world, with attacks, with murder…
