Last week, we stood outside Downing Street and demanded a Pause.
Now Andy Burnham is calling for a global agreement on AI.

The UK has an opportunity to reclaim the international leadership on AI safety established by the Bletchley Park summit and the AI Security Institute.

We believe that means bringing governments together to negotiate an international agreement to pause.

If governments cannot yet demonstrate the safety of the most powerful frontier AI systems, this is the only reasonable response.

We explain the case in our new blog post:

@Cmnplace your forms seem to be busted - the Haringey consultation took up over 9GB of my RAM before it crashed completely on the first page - https://t.co/YZKrO9owCc

@RestIsPolitics @tristanharris I think Tristan is a perfect candidate for a Leading episode on AI

Gave a talk at ElixirConf EU 2023 on Understanding Elixir Compilation. Thanks for the great turnout! #ElixirConfEU - via #Whova event app

Struggling with slow @elixirlang compile times? Struggle no longer with these tips!

@GuildWars2 MacOS support is ceasing, partly because of OpenGL support and partly the M1 chip... but it still works with no issues on my M1 Mac. Can't we keep the client a bit longer??

Ensuring data quality with huge datasets is hard - check out this tool to make it a bit easier :) Built on top of Apache Spark

@jabromovitz Nope I returned it in the end unfortunately. I think there'll be better options out there soon. Furo systems do some interesting bikes but I've not tried yet

Thinking of a Vanmoof Electrified X2? Check out my mini-review:

@VanMoof Ok thanks. London has some decent hills! I can just about get up with excessive use of boost button, but totally unable to put in any pedal power at such a low cadence (at least without getting knee pain anyway)

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@VanMoof any plans to make the automatic gear switch configurable on the X2? It changes up too soon and kills my knees on big hills

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@VanMoof I often cycle for about an hour in London and having some water is quite nice

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@VanMoof just got my electrified X2 but I can't see any way to attach a water bottle holder?? It's a bit of a killer to not have one

@TheSelfStoreCo we started using your self storage today but our entry code now isn't working at the gate and we have a van full of stuff! Help?

Think you understand how serialization works with Scala and Spark? Give this example a go and prove your mettle! https://t.co/X0HUsGTAMB

@AskHalifaxBank You do and it is. The app phoned me on that number to verify my identity when setting up

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@AskHalifaxBank the confirmation when asking for a change of address form is a tad ironic..!

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@AskHalifaxBank NB: Uninstall and reinstall didn't help

[Tim Gent @TimmehGent]

@AskHalifaxBank Advice on the phone was to "uninstall then reinstall the app"
