Google DeepMind and the UK govt have just signed a partnership w/ 3 pillars: 1. transforming public services 2. accelerating scientific discovery 3. advancing AI security & resilience Concrete bits that matter: - a Gemini model trained on the UK national curriculum to support teachers & students - priority access for UK scientists to tools like AI Coscientist, AlphaEvolve, AlphaGenome & WeatherNext - AI projects with the govt. to modernise public services BUT the materials lab is possibly the MOST exciting bit: a fully automated facility, integrated with Gemini, using robotics to synthesise & characterise hundreds of materials per day. Imagine what AI + robot lab team searching for new superconductors, better solar materials, more efficient semiconductors could mean for the UK. Source: x, @jujulemons
*The Pattern Replicator To quote Richard Campbell: "Computers are amplifiers." So let's be clear: AI doesn’t improve your system. It continues it. If the pattern is clean, it scales clarity. If the pattern is broken, it scales dysfunction—beautifully formatted, semantically named dysfunction. That’s the danger. It replicates everything: Inline functions that should be services Defensive props on components that should be deleted Patterns you meant to fix later, now baked into every new line And it does it without resistance. Because the code looks right. No red flags. No typos. Just subtle misfits stacking on top of each other until you’re buried in clean, wrong logic. You used to feel it—used to wrestle with the system. Now the system slides forward like it’s on rails. And if you're not paying attention, it takes you somewhere you never meant to go.* The Vibe Coding Paradox - DEV Community

*now it's trivially easy to do the “good enough” thing. It offers clean names, smart guards, reusable patterns. The five-minute path looks like the two-hour path—until you zoom out. That’s the danger. You stop noticing you’re doing triage. Because the bandages look like real skin.* The Vibe Coding Paradox - DEV Community

*Rate of net migration is downstream of broken money, both home and abroad, that's why it's a top political issue and natsec is refocusing hemispherially so that we have stable neighbors... A country is the people that live in it, and high trust countries have homogeneous base layers. Security is arguably the one thing the state should do, so unfettered net migration is a sign of abdication, eroding trust further, resources then become strained by inefficient growth, eroding trust further... it's all cascading. The dollar being the world reserve currency, and the resultant financialization influencing policy, was the disease. Everything else is a symptom.*

Are we (in the US) in a low trust society or just transitioning from high trust? \ stacker news ~bitcoin
I think it's clear the US has been a high trust society. But, is this no longer the case? How did we get here? How does bitcoin help? Does it fix t...
