Dysfunctional Britain.
Look at this, stashed away on page 118 of the budget...
The Government is implementing visa salary requirement changes from spring 2027 that will reduce 'occupation-specific minimum salary thresholds from the median to the 25th percentile of wages'.
In short, making it FAR easier for firms to hire migrants.
Why are they lowering barriers to overseas workers instead of training British men and women?
British people do not want more immigration.
At all.

Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module have arrived to Virginia. After a short barge ride from the Neutron Factory, these major assemblies have now been offloaded on Wallops Island and are going through arrival checkouts.
Next up: integrated fluids testing and launch mount interface checkouts for the Thrust Module, with Stage 2 to follow on the test stand beside it soon after.

JUST IN: The Pentagon has published a remarkable image of China's secretive Shenlong spaceplane in orbit, captured by a Maxar satellite and featured in its newly released 2026 space threat assessment.
The reusable, uncrewed spacecraft launches aboard a rocket and returns to Earth on a runway, similar to the U.S. military's X-37B.
China has conducted four orbital missions since 2020, demonstrating the ability to deploy and maneuver near other objects in space.
The DIA warns that technologies used for satellite inspection and proximity operations could also support anti-satellite capabilities.
China has disclosed few details about the spacecraft's missions or capabilities.
Fascinating view of tomorrow's job market. Moore's law in action. AGI will have vastly changed things by 2028 when high middle class joblessness will be an official figure.
What happens to human jobs when AI can do almost every kind of work? Will this wipeout middle class?
A new paper from Yale economist Pascual Restrepo explores what the economy could look like in a world with AGI.
The central idea is that compute could become more important than human labor as the engine of economic growth.
The paper argues that essential tasks would eventually be automated as AI and computing power improve. Humans might still work, but wages could increasingly depend on how cheaply AI can perform the same tasks.
One surprising conclusion is wages don't necessarily fall to zero, but labor's share of total economic income could approach zero as more income flows to computing resources.
For the middle class, this raises difficult questions about job security, salaries, savings and the value of skills built over decades.
That raises a bigger question what if AI creates most of the wealth, who owns the compute and who benefits from the growth?
This is a theoretical economic model, not a prediction that AGI or full automation is inevitable.
We went from a functioning society to one that makes it difficult to demand excellent quality for the services we pay for. Time to restore logic driven systems for best performance.
It's a particularly confusing day when a luminary like Daniel Hannan is blinded by bias and does not check the veracity of an image on the Internet, especially one that is so farfetched that it would activate one's nonsense detectors by default (Grok can check anything on X, and elsewhere).
Donald Trump has a strange effect people.

How about the robot is looking down while assembling a Swiss watch with one hand and then, without looking up, catches an oblique 100mph baseball with the other hand?
I also like the idea of juggling chainsaws on fire while riding a unicycle.
Harry Kane wins the Ballon d'Or whilst also being a very decent chess player at 1500, in the best fashion of a fellow who does things with fully applied dedication.

Modern warfare.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
