Surprisingly human CFO. Author of two books about finance, neither of which are as boring as you might think.

My sister and I often still talk about the dogs we had when we were teenagers at home. It's been quite a while since we were both teenagers...

Quite so... Always good to be reminded that politicians on all sides only care about themselves and couldn't give two hoots about people who fall on hard times through no fault of their own...

If there's a sure sign of someone who hasn't a clue about real people in the real world, it's someone who claims AI can do everything. Politicians are useless at the best of times. Turbo-charge their useless with a tech co's "magic beans" and no good decisions will come of it.

While I'm not saying everyone who works in AI is a grifter, it's a sector which does seem to attract a remarkably large number of grifter-y people...

This is absolutely true...tech folk vastly oversimplify highly complex situations to suit their software grift of the day. The only people with even less of a clue are politicians (current and former) whose oversimplification of complexity is responsible for most of our problems
