So @StagecoachSouth what use is this display? Really. Currently on a bus in rural Oxfordshire and the lights in the bus are so bright I can’t see out and the display is - useless? Why can’t it tell me where we are or which is the next stop ? Thank you.

In the @FT today, I argue that if AI is just another productivity tool, the productivity gains will be limited. For lasting economic expansion, AI must catalyze new industries and initiatives.
"Had the 19th century focused solely on better looms and ploughs, we would enjoy cheap cloth and abundant grain — but there would be no antibiotics, jet engines or rockets. Economic miracles stem from discovery, not repeating tasks at greater speed."
