The Pope dying. On Easter Monday. Does it get any more symbolic than that?

AI is very time consuming. They don't tell you that.

This says everything such a lot about employment protection in America which has never been great.

Following my Day One Executive Order, the Office of Personnel Management will be issuing new Civil Service Regulations for career government employees. Moving forward, career government employees, working on policy matters, will be classified as “Schedule Policy/Career,” and will

"Everyone agrees that it has something to do with the ability of AIs to perform human-level tasks, though no one agrees whether this means expert or average human performance, or how many tasks and which kinds an AI would need to master to qualify" - @emollick on AGI

I am so shocked by this statement from @PollyBLabour who I have known for years and admire greatly. There is a word missing in this: the word Woman. It's time for @UKLabour to pull its head out of the sand and appreciate what is happening here. Don't abandon half the population.

As Unison is the UK's largest health union comments by @UNISONSteve indicate a driving force behind @NHSuk disastrous and unworkable decisions led by ideology not reality or practicality. @wesstreeting knows this I'm sure.

This is the way a friend sends a message to a volatile friend saying "it's ok-not-okay"

One would have to imagine that President @realDonaldTrump’s phone has been ringing off the hook. The practical reality is that there is insufficient time for him to make deals before the tariffs are scheduled to take effect. I would therefore not be surprised to wake up Monday

To offset the upset here are three green verdant things from this week: a handmade quilt I commissioned; the latest @nowhereoffice interview @stefanstern and I did with @RachelSJohnson and the green room and the green lawn of @ExeterCollegeOx this week at @oxfordlitfest https://t.co/D3PwYCHgqF

Vital on what happens when the ordinary political moral compass is lost and replaced by deliberate cruelty to excite followers: @Peterwehner3 citing de Toqueville's warnings to @ajkeen . Although the context is America's MAGA I can't help apply to Israel - especially today.

Episode 2483: @Peterwehner3 on the ethical darkness that has fallen upon America, by @ajkeen https://t.co/fQRFLqdui3 This is an important interview. I’ve always thought of the political essayist Peter Wehner as representing the conscience of conservative, religious America.

Talked @oxfordlitfest about AI and Work. Photographed by the great newspaper snapper @Telegraph @TelegraphPics David Rose (with his Leica). Both his job and that of @AlbertTait1 who talked to me matter massively but will these jobs fully survive AI era? Prob know the answer. https://t.co/iQ6oxq89gX

A sunny time @oxfordlitfest @Telegraph discussing work and business with Sir John Kay and Nick Higham and a very engaged audience https://t.co/NzN9zepnoX
