Heard 'he's gone' in the newsroom and panicked

Michael Carrick has been sacked as Manchester United head coach.

The decision to remove the 45-year-old brings an end to an unedifying spectacle in which Carrick’s future was left hanging for days while United lined up Mauricio Pochettino as his successor

Anthropic says it's hit its self-building AI threshold

"Our Responsible Scaling Policy applies where we observe or expect specified degree of accelerated progress… we made a determination that we have met this threshold"

A week ago, it said "we may imminently meet"

Anthropic: 'We may imminently meet our Responsible Scaling Policy’s definition of "dramatically accelerated progress attributable to AI.��'

Seems like a worrying chart from Anthropic's revised S1. Returns on compute were going up and up, until Q3

This was the scene in the third part of the hearing. Around half of MPs present

[Rowland Manthorpe @rowlsmanthorpe]

Today I went to a select committee hearing on AI. A few interesting things came out of it, but what really stuck with me was the behaviour of the MPs

They weren’t paying attention

At one point I counted 6 of the 13 MPs on the committee looking at their phones. And not in that way you do when you’re quickly checking something - two stared at their phones for over half an hour. Several others left before the end

Many people think AI is the most important thing in the world. The MPs were warned there was a 50/50 chance it might destroy humanity! You’d think that’d be enough to make you take your chance to listen to experts and key players on the topic - apparently not
