Oh so he's doing the Mark Carney number. Risky bet.

Risky AF. As a Canadian curious how it's going to play out. Carney is clearly a smart man... I'm cautiously optimistic.

Does he use it to figure out what to do in politics ?

Who knows? Probably. They probably all do, hence why politics is chock full of shit, just like AI

If you think of AI as an arms race things make a lot more sense.

It also makes sense if he's appeasing Streeting, who has seemingly become a mouthpiece for every unethical firm wanting a piece of UK government business.

The fact that he didn't sack Streeting or Mahmoud is a sign that he's either weak or buys into the whole Blue Labour bullshit. Neither is a good look.

That name may be familiar to you… Andy…
