UK. This is your Reform trajectory. Daily Mail, the Express, GBnews, elect Farage. This is the trajectory. You blame immigrants, illegals. Life doesn’t improve, so double down. Get them out. Door knocks. Drag owners from shops. Squads in street ask where your accent is from. This is your trajectory.

“..Vanity metrics no longer cut it.. instead intimate spaces where human judgment is back..This hasn’t made headlines because it doesn’t suit press obsessed with peaks, but marketing admitted culture can’t just be scaled without getting deep into who it speaks to.” www.thedrum.com/news/gen-ai-...

This year audiences are tired of infinite scroll, and algorithmic sameness. AI will sit underneath but its value won’t be in smashing out countless copycat soulless spots, instead to use ai in helping decide when not to need to speak at all. techround.co.uk/business/exp...
