Today I was thinking about plant intelligence They may not have brains but I am looking after a cucumber plant that is climbing up a wall and also this carnivorous plant and both are remarkable The diverse way that plants have evolved to behave in order to grow and thrive never ceases to amaze me

Jurassic World is definitely worth a look. I had felt that the franchise had become a little tired, but the latest iteration had some excellent set pieces. I especially liked the flying dinosaurs.

Fans of Transmetropolitan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transme... will appreciate this

AI Governance Does science provide safeguards against the risks of runaway AI or is this an illusion?

Uncomfortably close to the truth ;-)

The. trade war between the US and China will undoubtably impact negatively on technology. Much of the world’s technology is manufactured in China or by countries directly under its influence. There are complex interdependencies between the two tech superpowers enabling us to enjoy affordable tech

Every day we hear news of global turmoil resulting from Trump policies that were voted for by US citizens. He is delivering what he was elected to deliver. The fact that tariffs will weaken many poorer countries and make it harder for some to develop and defend themselves does not concern him at all

I wasted many years believing this sort of nonsense was true. It is not true Get yourself organised, take stock, and plan your next move carefully Do not have Faith that things will fall into place Make things happen by ensuring you are in the right place with the right knowledge at the right time

Observing some organisations that are failing highlights the fact that they have neglected to sufficiently value thick chains of #organisationalknowledge and to see this as a major asset Thin/limited subject matter knowledge is of little value to train #AI models Thick Knowledge & Experience counts

In lovely Wales at Digging Deeper With AI to Improve Lives #AIwales Some really wonderful folk here doing some great stuff with AI

The idealistic dream that our development and use of super advanced technologies might bring about lasting peace and equitable distribution of resources for the benefit of all humanity seems further away than ever. Would handing over power to a world encompassing AI fix our world or destroy it?

We live in a society where digital technologies are ubiquitous but not everyone benefits from them or has equal access. I have been thinking about how best to use these to help those engaged in rehabilitation. How can technologies be used constructively and equitably to help people to change?
