How much taxpayer money got wasted here?

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Throwing money at AI seems a big gamble for productivity.

I’d rather see the UK invest in its human workers instead, with better education and training. IT skills for example as still lacking in the country. PCs have now existed for 30+ years yet so many still struggle with task like making simple spreadsheets.

This statement is anti thesis to the current westpid regimes lol

But yeah proper socio economic policy for the working class would be nice.
