In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values. I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something. We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action. For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel. Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli peopl… Related

Loved talking with @daraladje, one of the most well-prepared interviewers able to go really deep. Especially loved chatting about the true nature of individual companies, and what it means to build the company only *you* could really build. Continue the conversation with my Delphi! delphi.ai
Quoting @daraladje We spend so much time studying how Stripe hires, how Airbnb designs, how Meta ships, how Jobs presented... According to @joulee, the useful question probably isn't “what do the best companies do?” It's “what are we unusually good at, and what kind of company should exist around that?” Julie Zhuo sp… Related

Bluesky I agree with this take by @billgates.bsky.social, who also highlights several of the growing risks of AI systems, including cyber, bio and loss of control. We need to be far better prepared to address the risks of frontier models being developed by leading AI companies. English, from French Je suis d'accord avec ce point de vue de @billgates.bsky.social, qui souligne également plusieurs des risques croissants des systèmes d'IA, notamment cyber, bio et perte de contrôle. Nous devons être bien mieux préparés à faire face aux risques des modèles de pointe développés par les principales entreprises d'IA.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
