pull between companies like microsoft, who want to be on the cutting edge of this research and people leak satcha, nadewilla, and google want to dominant in the field of ai but the stuff is literally tested on leak human lab rats sort as release to the public and comes with a lot of scary unknowns they don t know frankly what s going to happen and i think microsoft is sort of realizing we may be doing this a little too quickly they ve been retrenching starting to put more guardrails on it but the goal from all of these companies is to push it further and keep testing on the public. you say keep testing on the public, i don t have a lot of time we have seen the wreckage, carnage from the last ten years of social media before we understood what the implications would be.
good correspondent, damian grammaticas. morning. th who good morning. the row over the last who knows how long between the government and the unions in terms of sitting around a table and discussing pay, one says no and one says you need to. no sign of that changing, i had to say, in the coming days. what we have seen in the last 2a hours if anything is a deepening, and trenching of those divisions. yesterday we had health secretary stephen barclay, comments from him, where he accused unions are taking a conscious decision to inflict harm on patients. that angered the unions who said it was a blatant lie and their members had been on strikes, leaving picket lines to return the most life threatening call outs. what we will see now, as you are hearing at the end of that report, next week more strikes wednesday, the gmb union having more strikes.
