It's quite pleasing that the populist left impulse under pressure is to say 'more of this!' and the populist right impulse is the opposite. 'There should be less of this good stuff!'

Even then. Because it's just computing and will be extremely hard to regulate. Esp because there are portable local ones you can run. So we might get to the point of rationing data centre usage but you won't be able to isolate GAI.

Sounds like the Ed Miliband, and then Corbyn, critique of why Labour lost in 2010 and 2015.

Robert Jenrick on Tory election loss: “The reason that we didnt deliver over the past few years…was primarily that we did not have the ballast of knowing what this party believes in… a broad church but a common creed…we need to give this party back some religion.”

I like ‘fiscal nimbyism’

Jenrick wants a smaller state but opposes any means-testing of winter fuel payments. A good example of fiscal nimbyism.

Possibly a play for the members, which is a version of what you are suggesting.

She seems to be just taking pot shots at everything ‘this needs to be harsher’.

Watching the 1967 Jungle Book with my then 3 year old. It was the longest he'd ever concentrated on anything, ever, and he was entranced, and then utterly desolate when it was over.

this is an excellent theory, very definitely right
