Yesterday, the @FT ran a piece about government assurances around compute. We’re confused by the government creating an AI Opportunities taskforce days before canning investment, and now backtracking. We’ve spoken to multiple insiders to figure out what’s going on. It's bad. 🧵

Our sense is that the Treasury wielded its axe in haste, the government is repenting at leisure, and is desperately trying to spin its way out of this. In the process, we’ve seen them make a few claims that are either flatly untrue or misleading. This is not how to make policy.

Attention, United Kingdom! "We don't need to touch our strategic weapons. We've got enough of others to make sure that there is nothing left of Britain, our sworn enemy. That's where everything stems from, all the rest are underlings." - Russian propagandist Gurulev.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this stage, but still taken aback by the extent to which a section of the UK political class is prepared to continually degrade itself for a quick payday
