amazon echo, google home, maybe one day even "rory."f the digital assistants is upon us. now, all of these assistants are trying to be wide ranging all—purpose artificial intelligences. the technical term is "horizontal ai." but that's really hard. in order to cover a lot of subjects and do many tasks, these things have to understand a whole lot of things. take this example, rory, tell stephen i will call him in the office after my train journey tomorrow. first it works out what i said. then it pulls out the important words. then comes the reasoning and context. it needs to scan my calendar and my train timetable and guess is that stephen is the stephen in the office, not stephen the friend, or stephen the other stphen. and then the right action needs to be performed, in this case schedule the call with stephen at 10:20 and let him know. the question is, are these horizontal ais best placed to do that? or should we maybe instead be talking to a number of specialist "vertical ais" that do one job really, really well. well, one company th

it‘s a game that i‘ve been playing on this, the amazon echo.r any other way of interacting with it other than barking commands at it. but that is exactly how the game i‘m about to play works. play rune5cape. the player must solve a murder in a fantasy realm. the game plays like an interactive version of an audio book — you get a bit of dialogue, then it waits for a response. surprisingly, it commands quite a bit of your attention, and it‘s quite a relaxing way to play a game, although that relaxing mood is shattered when you hear this... sorry, that is not a valid command. which you hear quite a lot. would you like to talk to the abbess now? talk to the abbess. sorry, that is not a valid command. go to the abbess. sorry, that is not a valid command. talk to the abbess. sorry... tell me, who is the murderer?! sorry, that is not a valid command. as the action progresses, it can shatter the illusion and become increasingly frustration when it does not understand what you are saying. which is obviously bit of a problem for a game you play by talkin

i find echoes of what happened in the past. i find tremendous differences in what happened in the past. i find the two presidents are very different personalities. mr. nixon was well schooled in the presidency before he arrived in it. he had been a vice president dick yet been a member of the senate and a member of the house. a lawyer trained. he argued before the supreme court. so we came into the job understanding it on the run. his campaign transition was very quick. i find the trump administration about 180 degrees away from there. they seemed surprised to win. they had a very weak transition. weather didn't get themselves prepared to take over. and the takeover for the first couple of months has been awkward at best. so i find that difference, but we've never had a president, in my knowledge, i'm a student of the office as well, coming with the kind of baggage that mr. trump is carrying, that he arrived on the scene with unfolding scandals and the disposition that's very different from what we're used to in the presidency.

there are obvious echoes with his predecessor and his advisers overseeing the operation to kill osaman. president trump's controversial chief strategist, steve bannon, is literally taking a back—seat. hopefully trump is starting to listen to people around him. steve bannon has been removed, and many were concerned about him. he has been removed from the national security council. i don't expect that everything trump does in foreign policy will be a dumpster fire. i do think we are seeing a process of some normalisation of the administration is the people around him start getting theirfoot in. last night's air strike has rather overshadowed another apparent foreign policy refinement from the trump administrations an his attitude towards china. it is a tremendous honour for me and my representatives... today, he was posting president xijin ping. he once described china as an enemy that was raping the american economy. he has backed away from most of the controversial things he said before taking office, questioning the value of nato, and us allies, questioning the us one china policy. h
