Realism At Last

In a refreshing departure from the world-beating rah-and-blah which the CEO of Team Starmer has been squeaking forth on the subject of AI, a Government minister has modestly recused the master race from leadership. Given the prospects for depriving great swathes of the population of their living and using up resources which might otherwise be wasted powering and watering millions of homes, the advantages of AI technology for moderate and sensible governance are self-evident even to lesser breeds such as the Heathen Chinee. Nevertheless, the secretary for Musk and related matters celebrated the opening of a summit in Paris by proclaiming that the race to AI supremacy must be led by "western, liberal, democratic countries," thereby eliminating the UK from the running on two counts out of three.
