If you're worried about AI taking over, I really wouldn't be. Just an amateur interest in it but have read/watched enough to know that the media are engaging in massive sensationalism when they talk about AI. In terms of true AI, we don't have the faintest clue how to create it, never have and have made zero progress on it. What we have made progress on is creating comprehensive systems in the world (with great effort), within which complex programs can do impressive things. Remove or change the system even slightly and that program becomes useless. Its not intelligence, hard to predict but I reckon we're a thousand years off that yet, we just haven't the foggiest how to even start at present.
"Lady Susan Hussey, the now banished royal aide, has gone off-script at receptions before, notes Patrick Kidd in The Times. In the 1990s, the Palace was asked to host a US delegation at the last minute. Members of the household were scrambled and Hussey found herself chatting to a charming visitor. “What do you do for a living?” she asked. “I’m president of the United States of America,” replied George H.W. Bush."

The UK being talked about down under.

As the UK falls into a recession that could soon swallow Europe, this town offers clues on England's cost-of-living nightmare
Prices quietly surged in this small town in the United Kingdom. Then it became the epicentre of a cost-of-living crisis.

"In my own house, I've got three children, and I'm reminding them to switch lights off," Father Alex said.
"And the heating doesn't go on here till 6pm, which means we have a very cold house to come home to, but we have to adapt to the cost of living that [is affecting] everybody."
Correct! But why not bring them up to switch lights etc off from the start? Never mind your leki bill Father your primary concern should have been to save the planet! I've long maintained that only exorbitant cost of energy limiting usage will save the planet! Simply asking folk to use less cheap energy is just a fools charter.
All this is nothing that my generation and I haven't seen before! I grew up in a house with just one fire (with a back boilerwhich doubled up as a water heater). Telly arrived at age 4 and was in another room so if i wanted to watch that in winter I did so from under a blanket! Frost on the windows many
Mornings and in prolonged cold spells ice formed on the wall of my bedroom. Might have been harsh but it taught me to be thrifty and less wasteful through life? Was I hard done too? No way! When my parents got married there was no electricity full stop! Just paraffin lamps and an old range to cook on!
The nation has grown soft in the 'easy' years since ww2 and simply needs people to cultivate a different mind set. Anyone who wants to change then simply buy a boat on Kent beach and sail the other way. I'm sure Ruanda is much warmer and is looking to increase its population.

That article is rubbish. Inflation is expected to half in the next twelve months.
Oh and our paraffin lamp was kept in the outside loo to prevent the water freezing!

Six-hour queues shows painful reality of owning a Tesla at Christmas
A number of Tesla owners across the UK were left queueing for hours to charge their electric vehicles over the Christmas period
Might be a good time to make a bid on a used Tesla

It’s more the stupidity of the seller which I think astounds me. I mean what did he do when he put the load of washing in? Sit and have a cup of tea and biscuits with the seller?

I think it’s bloody hilarious. No theft has occurred either so he’s not a thief.

You can’t “steal” electricity.
