It’s a wake up and smell the coffee sort of morning in the AI markets. AI is here to stay. Everyone is using it. Why are prices tanking? It’s about competition, adoption and data sovereignty.

“As advocacy journalism, The Battle for Hamble succeeds handsomely: vivid, indignant, and genuinely illuminating about the perverse incentives and quiet statistical failures inside Britain’s planning machinery.”

To succeed he needs to get radical. Social Housing is one avenue to growth he could pull off, and it could be funded off-balance sheet. The UK ain’t finished yet!

There may be multiple storms and whirlpools on the horizon, but the market remains convinced it will weather them all. That’s a sign of dangerous times.
