Literally just tax the super rich a little bit. God damn it Keith
Helping techbros loot the commons.
Every citizen: “hey can we fix the rapidly collapsing public infrastructure, allow housing to be built, and promote domestic good paying industries to fix our stagnant wages and cost of living crisis?”
Labour: “HAHAHA MEGACORP AI IN ALL ZE THINGS!!!1!!1!”
we are so cooked as a nation
Technology companies including Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI welcomed the plan
Of course, what else.
The government plan features a potentially controversial scheme to unlock public data to help fuel the growth of AI businesses. This includes anonymised NHS data, which will be available for “researchers and innovators”
‘We are concerned that if data and weights are FOSS, people will develop their own tools, which will work for them by definition and not us, thereby increasing people’s autonomy from us. So the data will not be publicly available’
this is what happens when you make an ai prime minister
Yay… sigh…
How much taxpayer money got wasted here?
Throwing money at AI seems a big gamble for productivity.
I’d rather see the UK invest in its human workers instead, with better education and training. IT skills for example as still lacking in the country. PCs have now existed for 30+ years yet so many still struggle with task like making simple spreadsheets.
invest in its human workers instead
This statement is anti thesis to the current westpid regimes lol
But yeah proper socio economic policy for the working class would be nice.
