British VC firms like the one quoted by this article do not have the scale, reach, money or experience to talk about these things in a meaningful way.
With the UK economy in shambles, do they think their views have much value? I think they need to prove that they can run their country in a somewhat efficient manner first before commenting on technology.
- alephnerd 2y agoThere absolutely is plenty of AI washing in the entrepreneurship space, but I do agree with you about the lackluster British VC scene (and the even more morose mainland European scene). > do they think their views have much value You're talking about it... And it is the BBC - the British Broadcasting Corporation. But imo, this is why I don't read non-trade papers. They lack the context and tend to be fairly late at identifying trends. A good (non-tech) example is pig butchering call centers in SEA - The Diplomat (a de facto Carnegie Endowment magazine) broke the entire story, modus operandi, and money chain 1.5-2 years before it was reported by BBC or CNN.
