NEW: last week a group of US hardline conservatives brought the National Conservatism conference to London. It fell completely flat. Why? Because Britain and America are completely different societies. Key chart: UK Cons are *way* more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.

Juicy rainy day read: Venture Predation Thanks to the copious amount of VC thought leadership over the past decade, we have plenty of empirical evidence confirming that much of the theory laid out here was, indeed, intentionally pursued in practice

Expect record levels of net migration in next week's stats. A simplistic populist narrative - a story of betrayal - is ever less plausible as attitudes shift. Rather these choices are the Dilemmas of Control My commentary in tomorrow's FT @ftopinion ft.com/content/470e10…

people who demand “to feel safe” while accepting (even tacitly) profoundly unsafe conditions for people living around them (without housing, food, water, etc.) are scary people.

Launching of the European Center for algorithmic transparency in JRC Seville. Great talk by @ruchowdh : #AI is no magic, it is algorithms made by people and that can be regulated by people

If I could only teach one thing in #servicedesign training it would be asking the question: What is the outcome for the user and the organisation overall, then at each stage Without clarifying that, both now and future of where you want to go to, you might as well go home

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot. The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life. nytimes.com/2023/02/16/tec…

I wrote about how two Harvard professors accused me of trying to "censor" them when I showed their proposal to add 500,000 cops to arrest 7.8 million more people was riddled with dishonest errors. Then it got weirder. Students sent me the final exam question from Prof. Lewis.

The ultimate secret of political punditry is just to toggle whose behavior is treated as a fixed point and whose is a matter of choice in the analysis, and also toggle whose opinions are given rationalizing explanations and whose are given arational explanations
