I’m pleased to see the debate, at least here on X, has begun.
We cannot continue as we are. There are many nuances to this but at the core we must remember that as politicians we are here to serve the country - and 6 (possibly 7) PMs in 10 years is unsustainable.
We need to find a better balance and this conversation is important.
Today we're starting something new at Fuse. We're building robots.
First, why this matters, because it's easy to get wrong. Skilled trades are ageing out faster than they're being replaced. The average electrician is over 45, the average plumber is over 50, and every year we lose more of them to retirement than we train. At the same time the world needs far more of them, not fewer, to build for the surge in energy demand ahead of us. You cannot build power plants, grid and AI data centres without them, and there are not enough of them.
So we're attacking this from both ends.
We're building a training centre in Birmingham, the first of many: untrained human in, skilled tradesperson out. We grow the workforce.
And we're building robotics to amplify what our technicians can do. We don't have enough skilled people as it is. The goal is to make them more productive. Our technicians are at the core of Fuse's mission of acheiving low cost energy and energy abundance.
Why we think we'll win where standalone robotics companies have struggled:
1. We already generate the data robots need. Robotics is bottlenecked on real-world physical data, and you cannot scrape it off the internet. Our technicians do real physical work every day across building power plants, electrical work and energy hardware installs. Only a handful of companies have real physical data. Rarer still to have it across this breadth of skilled trades, on sites you own.
2. We can deploy fast, and we learn faster. Standalone labs spend years convincing big customers to let them deploy on site, often against legacy resistance. We own the worksites, so we build, test and deploy on real Fuse jobs from day one. Continuous deployment means an extremely fast learning rate: more deployment, more data, faster improvement.
This is greenfield. Everything is open for the new team to define, from initial use case to policy choice to the embodiment itself, including whether we build in-house or partner. We're open to working with the best robotics and world model companies out there. The team will work directly with me.
Energy is the bottleneck for AI. Our goal is to unleash it, and robots are how we make sure it never becomes one again.
We're hiring the founding team now. If you want to build robots that ship into the real world from week one and make skilled trades more productive, come talk to us.
There's a new generation of filmmakers earning a good living with low-cost, highly-targeted content on free streaming services like Tubi and Roku. I profiled an incredibly interesting guy whose work is making $2M per year with zero help from Hollywood.

Perhaps a social media curfew for over-65s, or at least mental faculty tests for access? Do our pensioners not deserve similar protections to our teenagers?
It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s.
It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.
Under these proposals at 17 you’ll be able to vote, join the army and drive a car but not allowed to watch premier league highlights on YouTube on a Saturday night. What an absurd idea.
I used to play Xbox 360 late into the morning when I was in school. My parents found out and started turning the router off at night.
Amazingly they didn’t require a parliamentary majority and royal assent.
Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.
Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.
A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.
Trossard is deffo leaving this summer and while I know it's time, I'm going to miss seeing our perpetually tired looking racoon in Arsenal colours. So many clutch moments that I'm actually lowkey worried as to who will fill that role next ssn.
This case has huge implications for Clubs who feel they were disadvantaged by Chelsea's breach of the Premier League rules, and, IF found guilty, Clubs who may have lost out to Manchester City for trophies and Champions League places. Any sports lawyers thinking of going on holiday may have to postpone them.
If you are unwilling to welcome the best players and officials in world football into your country, then you should not be hosting a FIFA World Cup.
It’s as simple as that.
S. Africa, Brazil and Qatar were all painted a certain way and had their own issues but at no point were they actively stopping players, teams, referee and fans from participating in the biggest sporting event, 3 days before it starts. America gotta be the worst hosts ever
