"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"
@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
