If you missed my remarks on the case for Sovereign AI, here’s my talk from Coordinating British Progress on Friday.
Thanks again both @aeronlaffere and @lilygeidelberg for organising and to @WalkerMarcus for generously hosting us in the extraordinary setting of St Bartholomew the Great.

I do enjoy the fact that North Macedonia's entire history is rejected by all its neighbours. Greece made it change its name and give up any claim to Alexander the Great, Bulgaria insists its language and medieval kings are Bulgarian, the Albanians claim Skopje-born Mother Teresa as their own, and the Serbian church refused to recognise the Macedonian one until 2022. Consequently, I expect great things from North Macedonia.
Tried to drop off clothes at four charity shops today — none of which were taking clothes. We're so back.
My suggestion that every data centre should come with a public sauna seems less ridiculous by the day.
The only thing that can enforce this is AI but by his own measure any AI in the public sector must add jobs. Will this add jobs?
Always wondered what would have happened if Malta had been allowed by the Americans to join the UK. One of the easiest adventures in life is Malta.
This post has opened up a wide range of philosophical interpretations. Theories spanning from the existential (that we are already living inside a massive data centre), to the borderline perverse (users proudly celebrating their AI waifus).
Powell's Fridges of Blood speech warns of this.
JUST IN: French blood bank hit by cyber attack with blood samples being heated to 110 degrees Celsius from their maintained -30, per Le Canard Enchaîné.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 110 °C figure was the value hacked equipment was reprogrammed to reach, which does not mean the cold rooms or plasma bags actually reached 110 °C. France's health ministry said the anomalies were spotted in time, with no operational consequences. cyberattaque.org/cyberattaque-c…
Democrats took Congress on Tuesday, and 56% of voters told an exit poll that AI and data centres were a crucial or major factor in their vote.
But the bigger change for American AI isn’t in Washington. The industry has just lost much of its political cover. 🧵
Trump also wants a federal law overriding state AI rules, such as New York’s safety law.
That now looks far harder to pass, so those state rules are more likely to survive.
