The government is pushing forward with something that could change life Right now, Starmer’s plans are still in development. If we stay silent, they’ll take it as approval. That’s why I’ve signed a petition to scrap plans for mandatory digital ID before it’s too late. Will you join me? 38d.gs/0h2c

This government wants to use a PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP for Neighbourhood Health Centres in its 10 year NHS plan

*Even though Private Finance Initiatives mean the NHS paying up to 27 x over for hospitals*

The Government has revealed plans for a new mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
