🇬🇧💩 Over 47,000 British businesses are close to bankruptcy, according to the Financial Times.

The number of companies in a "critical financial situation" has increased for the second consecutive quarter, driven by high inflation and interest rates, leading to rising expenses and weakened consumer sentiments.

Begbies Traynor Red Flag Alert report, measuring the fundamental financial health of companies, revealed a 25.9% increase compared to the previous quarter, "resulting in over 47,000 businesses in the UK being close to collapse by the beginning of 2024."

🐻 Bruv! That's bad innit?!

🤔 MIT Study Finds Humans Cheaper than AI in Vast Majority of Jobs

Researchers modeled the cost effectiveness of automating various tasks in the US, concentrating on jobs where computer vision was employed, in one of the first in-depth probes of the viability of AI displacing labor.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found only 23% of workers could be effectively supplanted and in other cases, because AI-assisted visual recognition is expensive to install and operate, humans did the job more economically.

Quite a different tone from last week’s WEF in Davos – where co-founder of Inflection AI and Google’s DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman, said that AI systems are “fundamentally labor-replacing tools.”

So, the machines will steal our jobs and won’t be economically viable or very good at them… how reassuring. 🤬
