Yikes! We're talking about the guy who wanted to be part of the Netanyahu/trump regime to make money over the bodies of those buried under the buildings bombed in Gaza! That Baroness Kidron got it right, they'll be nothing from stopping T.B. from directing policy decisions if his shit is allowed in governments anywhere. Also not sure that he's an independently thoughtful person because he's taken millions from Ellison who is the brother trump wished he'd had! Palantir, owned by Peter Thiel is bad enough, that stuff shouldn't be in any database on the planet. T.B. doesn't have to make money from it's application but from selling it's data scooped from governments to the highest bidder. I for one don't see the point of AI. There will be many people put out of work and many people targeted as being against the "state" just for making a personal Facebook post. I Quit Facebook almost a year ago and couldn't figure out how to get myself off there permanently because they don't make it easy. They, to my mind are in the realm of "Big Brother is watching you." Thanks but no thanks. Allowing these AI people in, likewise it's a bitch to get them out again. Their seed remains embedded which is a problem for future generations that have figured it out too late.
After reading this, two questions I would ask are firstly, is Blair’s close family friend and political ally Rupert Murdoch looking to shore up his diminishing legacy political media empire by moving into an AI political corporate partnership forum ? Secondly, are any of Blair’s children being highly paid by this Institute for simply being Blair’s children ?
Grace Blakeley has written a lot about AI companies spending being far greater than any future returns.
Late last year, she wrote:
“Even in this giant pool of borrowing, Oracle is an outlier. The company has committed to spending “hundreds of billions” building data centre capacity in the next few years, mostly to supply OpenAI’s seemingly limitless demand for compute.
The company has about $96bn in debt today, up from $75bn a year ago, and Morgan Stanley expects this to rise to $290bn by 2028. Of the five big tech companies spending big on data centres (the so-called hyperscalers – Oracle, Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft), Oracle is the “only one with negative free cash flow”.”
In the dotcom crash, many then-huge companies collapsed for good.
It’s possible that will happen to Oracle and associates like the TBI.
But: Such a crash would likely affect all of us: Even if the collapse is “only” private wealth, it’s likely (inevitable?) that governments would seek public bailouts. Again.
I’m very much in favour of getting Palantir out of the UK, but giving our data to the TBI would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
Personally I can’t think of anyone I’d trust less with our data
than Peter Thiel

Potential very good but very bad news:

Some world leaders develop a genuine humility for their life post-office.
Blair learned nothing from his mistakes.
The closing remarks that he sees AI as the only route to improved productivity and growth say everything about how his mind works.
Seems he’s back on the Gaza Peace Board
