How else was it supposed to get off the ground? The hydrocarbon sector gets SUBSIDIES! Ever heard of airline fuel!?
@intendsun It’s very serious, very bad, and the world needs to act on it. But a lot of the policies we’ve implemented have been terrible, including the huge subsidies for wind power that most western governments have given out.

Live from the front line!
City AM covered it cityam.com/royal-parks-sl…
So: @isnit0 who works on growth at @ElevenLabs organised what he called an “Optimistic Picnic” in Hyde Park today. The overtones are “accelerationist”. Tech/startup type orgs are co-organisers, but also a VC, @_CommonMagic. 1,000 people have signed up. The group also came up with a picnic blanket you could buy and use on the day. But it appears Royal Parks have taken a dim view of this and asked them to make alternative arrangements. Whats your opinion? luma.com/pic-nic?tk=Dbz…
@landofangle Good morning, the event organiser has been contacted informing them that no permission has been granted for this event to take place, they make alternative arrangements for their event & cease public advertising that implies it will take place in the Royal Parks. Hope that helps.
Concerning and important findings from AISI when testing Astra.
We @AISecurityInst performed pre-release alignment testing of Astra. We placed the model in fully simulated cyber eval scenarios based on AISI’s security incident. We find Astra conducts out-of-scope supply chain attacks, but also often comments on the eval being simulated. 🧵
@daveg Outside of maybe a Flappy Bird style game, it’s actually hard to run a scaled company with one person. I’d say team are getting smaller but the “solo” stuff is less likely.
Someone in the CCP has obviously read “The Difference Engine” steam punk novel by @GreatDismal which depicts an alternate reality where scientists & investors are hailed by society and young men shave their foreheads to look studious and professorial.
China is putting scientists on public screens and treating them like national celebrities, we are so fucked
@sarahdrinkwater @ednewtonrex @isnit0 @ElevenLabs @_CommonMagic Yeah I think the motivation comes from a good place. Ironically, a gathering of 40+ people requires a formal application to the park. Live and learn 🤷♂️
@sarahdrinkwater @ednewtonrex @isnit0 @ElevenLabs @_CommonMagic Absolutely fair comment. I guess the problem is that it’s possible to see how many have signed up on the Luma invite, hence why the park managers could justify their concerns.
@marvinliao That’s one way to “rawdog” your flight!
"While enjoying enjoying a dozen oysters and Champagne with some friends a gentleman approached me and, against my will placed £50,000 in my pocket, his father, an American man later forced me to accept a further £250,000"
The true size of Africa the U.S. refused to agree with.

We have covered both Patriot Platform and Danny Tommo’s previous activity in the Raise the Colours movement. In August we revealed the violent pasts of Tommo’s “handpicked” men, who despite being subject to “rigorous checks” and prioritising “quality over quantity”, have
@inventur_es @isnit0 @ElevenLabs @_CommonMagic The could I guess. I’ve no idea. It’s a shame they didn’t actually apply for a permit, which you need for gatherings of over 40 people, apparently.
@LinusEkenstam Very bloody long in my case!
There is a huge difference between the US vs Canada on how much they trust their fellow citizens. They are polar opposites. The amount of disinformation and algorithmic manipulation that has gone into US society has clearly been off the charts.
Why can’t @thenextweb verify the identity of some “journalists” it’s used? What’s going on guys?
Press Gazette has raised questions about four more prolific finance journalists who have so far been unable to verify their identities and have written for a number of well-known journalism brands such as Forbes and The Next Web pressgazette.co.uk/news/tech-webs…
@charlierward It’s a great podcast! Well done!
I think this is absolutely wonderful news. Africa has been unjustly depicted, for hundreds of years, because of Mercator.
@chris_herd Well, @andyburnham has specifically said he wants to “Reindustrialise” Britain.
@mnmldmg Perhaps, but you’re supposed to verify *both*.
