Six of the top ten countries in WIPO’s global Innovation Index are…European 💪! Europe has its problems, but the drumbeat of negativity from Brexiteers, MAGA, US investors et al is overdone. There’s life in the olde continent yet!

Unlikely, I know, but maybe as yet another PM takes over and growth remains flat it’s time to learn from what worked under the Coalition?

Many congrats to you @ylecun, and to @lxbrun and the rest of the brilliant @amilabs team. Now the hard - and interesting! - work begins. @HiroCapital are delighted to be supporting you as co lead in this seed round at the beginning of your journey.
Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs).
We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company.
We're hiring!

A real humdinger with @amolrajan on Radical - from Miriam’s political future to whether liberalism is weak, from how to make kids safe online to what I found grating about Silicon Valley, from the dangers of AI to what I want to do next, and much else besides - I think we covered it all! Huge thanks to Amol and his team for such a wide ranging discussion.
