The author revisited an April post, saying the gap in public understanding of large language model capabilities had widened and had become more like a “sharp funnel” than two groups talking past each other. They estimated that roughly 6 billion people, or about 75% of the population, had “barely come” to something; the post ended before completing that thought.
The author wrote that the new sanctions against the International Criminal Court represent another level of escalation.

The author argued that economies were too interconnected for countries to act alone and said cooperation on shared challenges remained essential and in every country’s interest, even in a more fragmented world. They called for continued dialogue and practical solutions and shared a link to their speech.

The author said funding for the Housing & Local Gov Dept was set at €11.3 billion in 2026 and €9.4 billion in 2027, a reduction of €1.9 billion. They argued the figures showed no plan to increase the delivery of social and affordable housing, and said there was no mention of raising social housing income thresholds. They called this “disgraceful.”
The author said survey data showed prices rising and argued that the “OIL GLUT 2.0” narrative was pointless because inflation data was already beginning to reflect the impact of the Hormuz crisis. They added that bond markets were responding to the data, rather than to low-quality satellite images.
