"It also involves students being pushed on to AI-focused courses to produce thousands of new graduates as ministers plot to build up capacity in the new technology"
Two years ago, these gullible fools would have been pushing the students onto "NFT-focused courses" wouldn't they?
These people looked at Sam Altman and thought, "yes, there's a man I can trust"
I should very much like the Prime Minister to watch this https://youtu.be/gjQUCpeJG1Y?si=QzP0Bcnh6fpufu47 and then explain to us how any of this makes any sense
Love to wake up to news of unfettered government solutionising
Starting to think that Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle might not have any idea what he's talking about and is just being led around by the jingling keys of some tech grifters
Peter Kyle would have bought a monorail from Lyle Langley
"The AI will fix the potholes" CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELVES?
Feeling more and more like there's a very fine line between this https://apnews.com/article/caribbean-el-salvador-bitcoin-technology-business-ed51894baf9d47ec1093005602883fd9 and this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crm7zwp18n9t tbh
"There will also be a new “supercomputer”, which the government boasts will have sufficient AI power to play itself at chess half a million times a second"
Jingling fucking keys
@pikesley „the strategy includes pay levels available of at least 75 per cent of the private sector average“
@pikesley I really wonder what wonderful scam we'll see in two years.
@pikesley How differently things might have turned out had they only hired their first choice Sam Mainman
@pikesley Not really sure about the aspiration to "reduce public sector admin jobs".
Are they supposed to go and fill potholes or join the ever growing numbers on inadequate benefits?
#FBPE @pikesley Once Upon A Time I used to be able to get potholes fixed. A resident would report a pothole to me, I'd report it to the relevant council department, and it'd be fixed by the time I passed it on my way home from work the next day.
Until the service got cut, of course.
@pikesley That's what it seems like, and a larger trend
@pikesley As we know the news agenda is set by the right. This is one of the few government-led stories I can remember recently. It's a subject which the media will run with as it's in the interests of the owners to big up AI wherever possible for the simple reason that they see it as a way of further reducing their costs.
In other words, this is either brain-addled drivel from the government, or a smart way of getting a positive news story into the cycle.
@pikesley These people were around for the dot-com bubble, right? I wasn't and I still see whats going on. The current form of "AI" shows less potential for general application than the early internet. What do they think is going to happen? 
How can people in gov fall for these scammers? Weren't they supposed to be intelligent and have intelligent people who give them advice?
@gilgwath the UK government never saw a shiny tech thing by which they were not immediately mesmerised
@pikesley @gilgwath this is true. It is also because they've got nothing. Thatcher deregulated the city and started privatizing public service to get the numbers to go up. Major sold off what remained of state assets. Blair further deregulated the city and also moved reporting digital.
Since then, they have run out of ways to make neo liberalism look like it is working. They are desperate for something that will a. Keep money rolling around them and their mates and b. Make the numbers go up. That the monorail will only achieve a is just a reflection of the fact that they exited the road a long time ago
@pikesley “the UK will be controlled by foreign powers unless we hand over a huge amount of money and power to this handful of US corporations” 
@pikesley Well, this is all very upset and angry-making :(
Not a surprise, but I hates it, precious.
@pikesley
Im beginning to think the government is artificially intelligent...
