And I don't know why, but I think it will fail, the same as the EU...

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan have pledged an initial £100 million (about $124.5 million) to establish a Foundation Model Taskforce.

Let me guess: Mrs Sunak, or one of the party donors, or perhaps both, own stock in a newly-formed "Brit-AI-n" company, and that's where the bulk of the money will go. :doh:

More like a "corrupt free-for-all zone". :laugh:
