Hello! It’s time for Odds and Ends, your regular round-up of the most interesting links I’ve seen this week.
In this edition, I feature:
Why lefties seem more sceptical of AI than righties
The critical logistics infrastructure we don’t really think about
How the business model for Google’s autonomous vehicles is becoming clearer
How just one bloke is responsible for ruining everything, infrastructure-wise
And a delightful ska cover of a classic song (but don’t let that put you off).
JANUARY SALE: If you value my writing, please consider taking out a paid subscription to support my work. An annual subscription is the best way to do it, as it provides me with a more stable income, which means that I can keep writing every week. Plus there’s just a couple more days where you can get 20% off!
DON’T FORGET: February 25th is my next event, this time on how AI can (maybe) fix the government – where I’ll be speaking to Alexander Iosad, Director of Government Innovation Policy at the Tony Blair Institute. Come and hang out!
