It's called Football. Naming something right (like the rest of the world) is first step to getting good at it.

> Our results suggest that remote work substantially increases isolation and worsens mental health, particularly for those living alone

I don't know whom they were asking. If they had come to me, I'd have said 'hell yeah' - make remote work a legal requirement'.

American corporations are in the business of turning their lobotomised users against governments. It's like a drug dealer sending an addict to steal from or attack their parents.

Q: How do you get an Italian to shut up?

A: Tie their hands up.

The betrayal was more closer to home than CEOs nutting themselves out. Your employer got enamoured with AI. And despite knowing you (or not) what you're capable of, they started shoving AI down your throat. Your job title has effectively been changed to 'AI operator'. White collar jobs, if not fully eliminated, have surely been transformed. White collar workers, who were once pets, have now been turned into cattle.

When your employer lays you off, you can take as many days off as you want!

So, Anna's archive stole a bunch of stuff, and people are going after it.

AI people stole even more stuff, and they're insanely rich and saintly.

The irony.

Not at all! Sharing data with US (a trusted ally, with whom the UK has a 'special relationship' [0]) company, run by an angelic, Ubermensch billionaire can only be good.

[0] Haters call this relationship 'being their bitch', but don't listen to them.
