The numbers in here are hilarious.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

Don’t think much of the Amazon Black Friday sales. I ordered The Two Ronnies on DVD but instead I got four Kindles

🎄 It’s ALMOST that time of year again… Now 4 years ago I asked Twitter to help make my profile more Christmassy. I'll be posting these through Advent, but new entries welcome… 🎄
A Christmassy KC - Day One
Three years ago now, I asked the good people of Twitter (there were more of them then) to make my profile photo more Christmassy. The response was phenomenal. From tomorrow, I'll pick a picture each day for my profile.
There's always room for new ones...

Whilst I understand that there are people, particularly politicians who want to weasel out or actively ignore an FOI, it has to be noted that a huge chunk which will have not been answered are badly-worded, repeat questions, vexatious, or is looking for data that simply doesn't exist

✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

To put it in perspective, the time period between Stegosaurus and T Rex is about 33% longer than the time period between T Rex and today
I don’t know a lot.
But I know a lot about dinosaurs.
Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?
But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?
Lets get a little perspective.
Did you know Allosaurus never saw flowers but T.rex did?

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.
I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

Any 'free market liberals' who still support Brexit, in spite of all evidence of where this has taken the country, need their heads examining. That includes much of the IEA and similar such people who sometimes pop up at the Telegraph.
However Leftist 'Lexiters' are the biggest joke of all. /5

Also they did a Conor McGregor collaboration last year, which, err, did not age well (the DLC for which was delisted and buried in the UI for existing owners)
