Huge success for Rishi as it got him in front of the Tech Bros he wants to join once he leaves office next year and moves to California.

He managed to show he will shamelessly parrot Microsoft marketing material and sell out the average worker, even Elon Musk didn't quite have the balls to suggest its not going to be an issue for jobs as he of all people at least stated all jobs were at risk.

Still I am sure Rishi can line himself up a nice job post GE, May be he can do for Twitter what he did for the British with the likes of Eat to Help out or his pound shop crypto idea, one can hope at least.

I saw them discussing Elon's "There will come a point where no job is needed - you can have a job if you want one for personal satisfaction but AI will do everything" thing on BBC breakfast this morning. The presenters agreed with each other that "not everyone will be happy with that, some people like working to give them a purpose, focus, etc."

None of them discussed the fact that if all jobs can be done by AI, no-one will get paid. You won't be able to get a job because AI will be cheaper and more efficient and it will eventually become more expensive to add a human to the mix than any possible benefit they can bring to a job environment. Imagine adding a human brickie to an otherwise completely automated building site. Or a human auditor to a completely AI accountancy firm.

As more and more jobs are taken out of the market and fully automated, there will be greater and greater competition for the few jobs left for humans. And more and more people will be unemployed, voluntarily or not. The money we're currently paid for working won't just keep being handed out, it will, instead, just go into the pockets of the shareholders of the companies who produce the AIs and robots who can take all our jerbs.

why the fuck was clown man musk invited

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Rishi Sunak has hailed this week’s artificial intelligence summit as a diplomatic breakthrough after it produced an international declaration to address risks with the technology, as well as a multilateral agreement to test advanced AI Models.

The prime minister spent diplomatic capital convening global leaders, tech executives, academics and civil society figures at Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, the base for second world war codebreakers.

Those attending included the US vice-president, Kamala Harris, the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, award-winning computer scientists, executives at all the leading AI companies – and Elon Musk.

The UK tech secretary, Michelle Donelan, said she was unfazed by the US initiatives, pointing to the fact the majority of cutting-edge AI companies, such as the ChatGPT developer OpenAI, are based in the US.

Sunak invited him to Downing Street for a streamed fireside chat and the Tesla CEO’s warning that AI was “one of the biggest threats to humanity” overshadowed more nuanced contributions.

Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, said this week that existential fears were being overplayed but he was concerned about the immediate threat to democratic polls.
