Not on Twitter much these days, but if you want to follow my work you can do so on:

Ahead of the polls closing in the US presidential election, I wrote a feature on digital voting machines. They're safer and more transparent than ever before, yet conspiracy theories (propagated by @elonmusk of this parish, and others) about them abound: datacenterdynamics.com/en/an…
I wrote a hot-take about @OpenAI and why, following its latest multi-billion dollar funding round, data centers need the world's most famous AI lab to deliver. Sorry about the massive picture of my face: datacenterdynamics.com/en/op…
Hmm. Not obvious from this article why Cambridge Uni needs the government to put money into this (the explanation from O'Brien is flimsy imo), or where it would house a Station F-style facility - it's not like there are tons of massive empty buildings in the city centre.
NEW: Cambridge university seeks £15mn state boost for unicorn incubator science hub to rival Paris’s Station F and US’s Kendall Square - me and @Mikepeeljourno @ft

UK data centers have been designated Critical National Infrastructure by the government, underlining the importance of digital infrastructure in our society. Practically, it will allow operators to access more support from Whitehall in emergencies: datacenterdynamics.com/en/ne…
Crikey.
A US federal court finds Mike Lynch not guilty of criminal charges that he duped HP into buying Autonomy for $11B in 2011; he lost a UK civil trial in 2022 (@rachelagraf / Bloomberg)

RIP Data Protection Bill, u are wiv da angels now.
I shudder to think how much time and money was spent on coming up with something which is the same but slightly worse than GDPR, only for it to be binned completely. Brexit freedoms in action.
Also recalling how annoyed DCMS got (very annoyed) when we reported that the bill was being delayed back in 2022: techmonitor.ai/policy/geopol…
Remember covering Wayve when they started out and assuming it would be a student project that never went anywhere. Now Nvidia and SoftBank have given them $1bn. I am very smart. theguardian.com/business/art…
Disappointing, if unsurprising, news that Darktrace is being bought out. Another of Cambridge's - and the UK's - biggest tech success stories heads for US ownership. Nice payout for the shareholders though. reuters.com/markets/deals/th…
The alcohol content fluctuates wildly - sometimes there's none, sometimes it's strong enough to knock you out, etc etc.
Little known fact; Pat Gelsinger's middle name is Jamtomorrow
Intel’s chip making business reports $7bn in losses; figures to worsen in 2024 dlvr.it/T50xgB
Unintentionally hilarious lawyer quote from Mike Lynch's brief as the latest Autonomy trial gets underway in the US. Given what transpired I'm not sure this is something he should be boasting about:
Wild to me that reports like this on Cambridge's potential future, filled with sustainable growth and a unicorn for every resident, are *still* being produced. Consultants being paid £££ to state the bleeding obvious. gov.uk/government/publicatio…
Here I think I'm being invited to help train the sort of LLM that could eventually put me out of work? Seems like a great deal!
