Why thousands of empty desks could spark a second Enlightenment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE Covid years have had a number of lingering effects. Arguably the most positive has been the wrecking ball it’s taken to workplace presenteeism. According to House of Commons Library statistics, 40% of the UK’s workforce either work entirely from home or in a hybrid arrangement. A quarter of all working days are stubbornly “WFH” (work from home), up five-fold from before Covid, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The sunny joys of doing Teams in your gray tracksuit bottoms – with a
We could root AI in values of Africa or Islam rather than Silicon Valley (opens the original)

HOW appropriate. The latest AI whistleblower, warning of computational monsters that could “kill all humans”, is the spitting image (and has the schoolboy voice) of Harry Potter. In a moment of relief from the near-comical horror – the notion that there’s a 10% chance of human extinction at the hands of artificial intelligences by 2030 – I went to the X account of Jacob Coxon. It’s Coxon who left the AI frontier lab Anthropic to tell the world, on Elon Musk’s platform, what his colleagues are th
Anas Sarwar's ennoblement reminded me of a crucial question for Scottish independence (opens the original)

ONLY the most saucer-eyed of emojis would be adequate. Baron Sarwar (of Maxwell Park in the City of Glasgow) wore that savagely-acquired ermine over his shoulders on Thursday, as he was introduced into the House of Lords. He was no more ridiculous than the men in various wigs, tights, rods and shoe-buckles around him, or the superfluous language of his ceremony, or the unswerving declarations of loyalty to monarchy. But no less. The rank hypocrisy and opportunism of the man – opposed to the Lord
As the UK resurrects its War Book, would militarisation of our daily lives hold? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HOW can something designed to improve the security of your life, frankly terrify you? That’s the effect on me of this week’s UK Cabinet Office proclamations about families needing to lay in several days of food, water and energy supplies, in case of disasters. Those disasters are? A cyber-attack on our national systems by a hostile foreign power; or a disruptive, extreme weather event, whether water or heat. Not to forget the collapse of food supply chains or the next pandemic. Did I mention aut
It seems left-wing US politicians are now winning with Scots-style policies (opens the original)

THE Democratic Socialists of What? Of America?! For those of us whose American imaginary is made from alienated drifters, foaming patriots, assassinated visionaries and idiosyncratic geniuses, the idea of a DSA has always seemed semi-science-fictional. Time for an upgrade. Leading with the new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, and beginning with Bernie Sanders’s 2016 run for the presidential candidature, there’s a left-wave rolling through the US Democrats. And it’s being fuelled by none other
