@TRobinsonNewEra Good on ya Tommy. Ignorant fools like this is why the world is a mess
@elonmusk i hope you will be in the UK may 16.
As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows:
To:
His Majesty, Charles III,
King of the United Kingdom and the Realms,
Supreme Governor of the Church of England,
Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith.
Your Majesty,
I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled.
Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment.
For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith.
The laws of this land were shaped by it.
The liberties of our people were nurtured by it.
The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it.
From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her.
Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them.
Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age.
Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel.
Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation.
What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state.
It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis.
The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge.
They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation.
Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?”
They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled.
Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.
Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm.
History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ.
That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity.
And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault.
If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed.
The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long.
Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced.
For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender.
You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours.
Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means.
They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them.
For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it.
Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted.
May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown.
Yours faithfully,
Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC
Missionary Bishop
Diocese of Providence
Confessing Anglican Church

@Keir_Starmer Starmer step down already
🇦🇺An Australian tech founder with zero biology background sequenced his dog’s tumor DNA, then used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.
A month later, the tumors shrank by half.
And this is just the start of AI medicine.
@elonmusk We need 🇬🇧 back to the top
Demis Hassabis says AGI may be “10x the impact of the Industrial Revolution, at 10x the speed.”
A century of change. Compressed into a decade.
"The UK has been colonised by immigrants," Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
“You can't have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in,” he said. “I mean, the UK has been colonised. It’s costing too much money.
“The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people.”
@Keir_Starmer Keir step down already. You're complicit.
@MarkJCarney Instead why dont you ban sharia law and make public the atrocities islam is responsible for
It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.
Truly one of the most astonishing things anyone has ever done on camera
The most skilled guy in the AI industry just said we're 1-2 breakthroughs away from AGI.
And he explained exactly what's missing.
Demis Hassabis runs Google DeepMind.
He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year.
He's literally the reason why Google is considered the leader of the AI race.
And he just dropped the most specific AGI timeline ever:
"One or two AlphaGo-level technological breakthroughs."
That's it. That's all standing between us and artificial general intelligence.
But here's the thing...
LLMs are NOT going to get us there.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude - they're all hitting the same wall.
They can't plan long-term. Can't create NEW ideas. Can't understand physics.
Demis called them "jagged intelligences. Very good at certain things. Completely incapable of others."
You've felt this yourself.
You've felt this yourself.
You ask ChatGPT a complex question and it sounds smart.
But ask it to solve something that requires REASONING across multiple steps?
It falls apart.
So what ARE the 2 breakthroughs we need?
Breakthrough #1: World Models
AI that understands how physics actually works. How water flows. How cause and effect works.
DeepMind already has early versions (Genie, Veo).
The insight: If AI can GENERATE something realistic, it UNDERSTANDS it.
This is the foundation for robotics and AI that interacts with reality.
Breakthrough #2: Agentic Systems
AI that can DO things. Not just answer questions.
Plan multiple steps. Execute autonomously. Adjust when wrong.
DeepMind proved this with AlphaGo in 2016 - planning 20+ moves ahead to beat the world champion.
Now they're generalizing it to the real world.
And here's the most interesting part:
Demis says these two things are starting to CONVERGE.
LLMs + World Models + Agentic Behavior = AGI
And when I say converge, I mean Google is already building it.
They're setting up the first fully automated scientific laboratory in the UK.
No humans running experiments.
AI designs the test. Robots execute it. AI analyzes results. AI adjusts and iterates.
The lab will work on:
→ Room-temperature superconductors
→ Nuclear fusion materials
→ New battery chemistries
→ Climate tech breakthroughs
Demis's logic is simple:
"If AI can screen materials 100X faster, the energy revolution takes 10 years instead of 100."
But here's the scary part:
China is MONTHS behind. Not years.
"They're very close to the frontier. Maybe only months behind."
DeepSeek. Alibaba's Qwen models.
They're catching up fast.
And unlike what people thought, they're doing it WITHOUT access to the most advanced Nvidia chips.
The window for the West to lead in AGI is shrinking.
The economic impact?
Demis: "10 times bigger than the Industrial Revolution. And maybe 10 times faster."
Industrial Revolution took 100+ years and reshaped civilization.
This will be 10X bigger in 1/10th the time.
Mass job displacement. Economic restructuring. New industries overnight.
But also:
→ Curing all disease
→ Solving climate change
→ Unlimited clean energy
→ "Radical abundance"
Demis is betting DeepMind can get there first.
Google spent $400 million on DeepMind in 2014.
That stake is now worth 100s of billions.
Because DeepMind is now the "engine room" of ALL of Google's AI.
Every Gemini model. Every AI feature in Search, Gmail, Workspace.
All built by DeepMind.
Shipped across Google's dozens of billion-user products instantly.
That distribution is their superpower.
The final thing Demis said that stuck with me:
"AGI is probably the most transformative moment in human history. And it's on the horizon."
One or two breakthroughs and 5 years away.
According to the most skilled guy in the industry.
