3️⃣ AI models solved open problems in physics and maths. If they can do that, plenty of business decisions are within reach. The payoff comes first where a wrong answer shows up straight away.

We tried adding Claude to a meeting today. Pretty good experience. It's your Claude, so if that's connected to MCPs and stuff, you can ask it to do things in the meeting, like add a task to Notion. It requires its owner to type confirmation so as to avoid chaos.

So Jensen has gone. I feel there's a bigger truth beneath the individual. Those who have success, power, money, fame at such large scale inevitably become divorced from reality. Their bubble insulates them from their actions.

We see it with politicians and it's why countries often have a prohibition on PMs/Presidents having more than a certain number of years. Put yourself in such a position and most people will lose the plot after a few years, divorced from the reality of ordinary people.

It is a truth that the more power and money someone gets, the more they don't understand reality. Many of us have known someone who made some money and then behaved differently - Jensen is just this on steroid. That is a conundrum.

Looks like a great car and proves beyond doubt that long distance EV driving is easy. I’ve done Kent to Scotland in my EV, with just a single 20min charging stop. Easy.

Solar power is booming in Africa. Imports of solar panels into most of the continent have almost tripled in the last two years, while Morroco has recently doubled its manufacture of them. The result is to greatly increase electric power capacity. ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

Well we know that nitrates are carcinogenic. I bought some nitrate-free bacon the other week, it tasted great. I see no downside. Better food that doesn’t kill us, what’s not to like?
Andy Burnham will soon strike a major new food and drink deal with Brussels that means the Great British breakfast will never be quite the same again. To meet the terms of the Prime Minister’s new deal, British law will have to be changed to match European rules on food and plants, with farmers and producers in some cases having to alter their methods, which could push up prices ‡️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…

A nicer experience is almost guaranteed to bring in punters. Not sure why this was ever a debate.

3️⃣ The Bank of England says AI has barely lifted UK productivity so far. When you claim gains, count what you produced, not the hours people say they saved.

The externalities of fossil fuel. Nuclear is even worse. Subsidies for energy are complex and widespread across all sources of production.
The Government already carries significant exposure for North Sea decommissioning, Β£11 billion of a Β£43 billion industry clean up through historical tax relief and operator of last resort. Thanks for highlighting what the industry costs us all, new drilling or not.
