A recent comment under one of my videos. Amazing how often I still hear "we were promised driverless cars and where are they!". I am just back from SF, where I played 'count the Waymos' with my kids. Such a big gap between where tech (in general) is and where many think it is.
Surprised the "mission-driven approach" to governing the UK has not attracted more criticism. It has clearly failed. And that raises big questions about whether academics, with little practical experience of strategy, are best placed to tell gov'ts how to act strategically.
A couple of hundred pages into this, thinking about the development of AGI. It is no atom bomb yet. But that sense of early hubris and intellectual excitement -- Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Oppenheimer etc. -- is strikingly similar to the present moment. Also a great book.
A supportive review of my new book in @nytimes today. To quote: 'The shelf of general guides to artificial intelligence is crowded now, but HOW TO THINK ABOUT AI: A Guide for the Perplexed is one of the best, filled with real insight and common sense' - nytimes.com/2025/08/27/boo…
The SRA is meant to "maintain the public’s confidence in the reputation of the solicitor profession for honesty, probity, trustworthiness, independence, and integrity." I don't want to go on about it, but it does feels like publicly calling for the death of Jews is quite a low…

It does seem very strange to me that a solicitor in the UK can publicly threaten to kill Jews -- and yet, if they say sorry, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal is happy for you to keep your job.

Free tickets open! Automation Anxiety by Prof @danielsusskind 👉 gres.hm/automation-anx… From the Luddites of the Industrial Revolution to burning driverless cars in San Francisco, people have long feared being replaced by machines. But are we right to worry? #AI #AIEthics
Absolutely staggering that someone as capable and thoughtful as Owain isn’t being championed by Welsh Labour. What on earth has possessed them

What a terrible decision by Welsh Labour. I am disappointed for @Owain2026 because he is a good friend. But I am even more disappointed for Wales because Owain is one of the few people in the party with the ideas and vision the country so desperately needs.

🛑Some professional news🛑 After two years editing News Review at The Sunday Times, I'm moving to become the paper's Associate Editor and will be writing a weeky political column from September, along with other features and interviews. Looking forward!
Thanks so much, @jimmy__hall.
Ganesh is wrong. The answer to his question is: relative to the US. If the UK had grown at the same rate as the US since 2007, people would be almost £8,000 richer on average. Until we accept the scale of our decline, we will not have the sense of urgency required to change.

I disagree. In fact, I would go further: we don't appreciate how bad things have become over the last 20 years. One statistic that stuns: average real wages in the UK, exc. London, are less than in the poorest US state, Mississippi. Until we see the crisis, no chance of reform.

This is perhaps the most important position for any economist in the UK. If they can help get growth to 2+%, so many of the country's problems start to melt away. --theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Those interested in AI policy in the UK should watch this very carefully for ideas and inspiration. The team working on this in the US is brilliant.

I volunteered at a cheder, or Jewish Sunday school, in North London when I was younger. (Not a “Shabbat school”, since there is no such thing.) A lovely place full of kind people. The reason we had security in stab vests on the door was because of this sort of anti-semitism.
