I am a climber, runner (with a Collie), cyclist and swimmer. I was running a small (but perfectly formed) analytics company now employee owned to mark my retirement. Commute between the Highlands and The Borders, campaign for Scottish independence, bake bread and occasionally dabble in bad art. I winge about a lot - the environment, bad governance and stupidity but do try to provide a wee bit of evidence and highlight good news. Languages : English, German, Gaelic, Pashtu, Spanish, Italian

As expected. Water and power for nothing.
A landmark AI development billed as delivering jobs and prosperity has misrepresented its plans to channel a nuclear reactor’s worth of power to a site in rural Scotland, a Guardian investigation has found.
AI (or rather the sophisticated use of statistics and logic on large data sets) has many good uses - but the majority of the use is trivial and uneccesary
