Having a celebratory beer by the Ness on a lovely evening, thinking about salmon and genomics. (Our loss is also your loss Leicester, sorry). #FailingUpwards #subtoot #AcademicChatter #RiverNess #Scotland

Wide river with an orange setting sun on the left hand side of the picture. Hazy hills in the distance and interesting buildings poking into the orange-blue skyline either side of the water.

(#ElonMusk) a guy who promised Mars colonies by 2022 while his cars’ crash rates outpace production is now influencing national aviation safety.

Isn't it fascinating to see #Blackrock fail upwards.

If #Blackrock's algorithms are so great, why is it that the #CEO predicted that #Russia would cave to the #USA in a few weeks of the #proxyWar?

Could it be that it was in Blackrock's interest to *say* one thing and, in reality, benefit from the boost in the #weaponIndustry?

How much would you give to see Blackrock and C.A.G.E.M.A.F.I.A. servers get taken down, permanently?

Maybe don't answer that. *wink

It *is* the #WorldBank. Can anyone really trust the #IMF and WorldBank these days. We can only assume Blackrock is hoping to cash in on #Ukraine too, with recent news that they may get the lucrative contracts to rebuild (whatever is left of) the country.

Even the #BlackRock founder himself alleged at the start of the conflict that #Russia would be defeated in weeks. So either he was lying, or his mass of predictive, #AI supercomputers were wrong.
