The cancellation of a “hyperscale” data centre in Edinburgh is a triumph for campaigners—& a pause button for those of us interested in AI. If used for liberating humans into a post-work world, could we then agree how best to power it? My @ScotNational col thenational.scot/news/25834578.…

For digital idealists, Grok’s “undressing” AI software is dispiriting. But if we reconfirm our human community—like we suggest at Sunday’s @ccfest #PowerShift event [https://www.spring.site]—can we put this computation to better use? My @scotnational col www.thenational.scot/news/2577342...

So the “settled will” of the Scottish people heaves towards independence. Did anybody ever imagine its main opposition would be an far-right grift operation, vehemently anti-immigration & anti-net-zero?

We’re in a podcast moment—immersed in conversations and personalities, with some even wanting to start their own. It’s rich, thick, blethery—and may be a better medium than social media for Indy activism and persuasion. My @ScotNational column www.thenational.scot/politics/256...
