I used to think that today's so-called "artificial intelligences" are actually pretty dumb. But I've recently changed my mind. In this video I want to explain why I think that they do understand some of what they do, if not very much.

CHRIST!

Well spotted @CatLaw75!

The @BBC in 2020, & again in 2021, confirmed the personal @Twitter accounts of freelancers (eg Lineker, Packham, & Andrew Neil) are "unrelated to" the BBC, & "the BBC is not responsible for its content".

Pensioners pay £611 a year more for energy than the under 30s.

State pension is the main/only source of income for majority of retirees,

Thousands die from heating v eating predicament.

State pension must not be less than the minimum wage.
