@pronouncedalva.bsky.socialHi, I appreciate your desire to share my work but by sharing a link like that you are basically stealing it... If you care about journalism please pay for it. And in the meantime grateful if you could delete that and refrain from undercutting hard-working journalists in future. Thanks
@pronouncedalva.bsky.social“I was approached indirectly and asked whether I would call for Keir to resign in return for [a cabinet job], but that’s just not how I conduct myself.”

If AI companies believe in this risk, why can't they stop? Thank you to the 20+ people who helped me explore these questions for this week's New Statesman

Very interesting discussion about Ed Miliband as foreign secretary but also the very quiet diplomacy that was happening to adapt to the US no longer being trusted
@pronouncedalva.bsky.socialEd Miliband never wanted to be Foreign Secretary. But from day one in the job, he knew what he was going to do with it.
