Ask me about Hotel Del Luna, I want everyone to watch it. :)
I like cats, art, info about early years education and neurodivergence.
And Hotel Del Luna.
If I follow you I don't expect you do it back, don't feel like you have to. :)

And have you noticed a big uptick in “benefits” stories at the moment?
Probably completely unrelated(🤔) to the fact we’ve had the longest run with no small boat crossings for 2 years, and the latest immigration stats are down at pre-pandemic levels…

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

A 26-year-old PwC consultant built AI agents to cut client headcount by 30%, only to get laid off himself.
This is the reality behind the hype. AI isn't fully replacing people yet, but it is downsizing teams, turning 10 workers into 7 who now need to spend their time reviewing LLM outputs.
