UK and AI
UK and US refuse to sign international AI declaration
This is a missed opportunity, BBC Article we have, or had a chance to be part of a global regulation framework. We need to be in, so that we can help drive this forward.
We should not be pandering or following to the USA. The US is now approaching dictatorship where DEI is being eroded.

This appears to be so we can increase our energy security. This of course is garbage, we can produce our energy needs using renewable means, we just need to get this capacity connected to the national grid. We just need to ban the sale of gas appliances, retrain people in the newer tech so we can minimise job losses and find more sustainable ways of doing things.
At the same time, we are trying to tell other countries to cut down on fossil fuels, we need to lead by example.
This is why I use fedi, intelligent people, having intelligent conversations and discussions, encouraging critical thinking and understanding of the science, hence recent posts on here about theory and hypothesis.

Counter petition to keep LGBT content on the curriculum.
The petition to remove #LGBT content from the uk curriculum now has 190,671 signatures, sigh. It only needed 100k to force a debate in parliament, so that will be scheduled by #Uk Gov.
The counter petition is rapidly gaining ground, being newer. It now has 33,030 signatures, but we need more!
Can followers in the UK help sign the counter petition.

Cornwall Rocket Launch 9/1/2023 Update
Further to the previous post on this, the orbiter plane took off as planned, and the first stage of the rocket was fine. Due to a technical “anomaly “issue with stage 2, the rocket was lost and failed to reach low orbit and deliver the payload.
Investigations in to what went wrong have started.

UK Nuclear fusion plant
Nuclear fusion plant to be built at West Burton A power station.
This sounds like a really exciting development and should hopefully help the UK take the lead in a clean and sustainable energy resource.
This is also an excellent reason, regardless of where you live to study STEM. While this plant is not due to start until 2040. This is only 18 years away, so if you are heading in to year 7, then by the time you have obtained a post graduate or other hi-tech qualification you should be employable within this industry.
