I'd love to know what you all think! Are you a fan of AI? For more opinions on the topic: https://www.ted.com/talks?sort=newest&topics%5B0%5D=ai

Had an interesting conversation with @Vicent Miralles Lluch recently, about Nasa's Artemis II mission to send four astronauts to the Moon. "The Artemis programme has taken years of work, involved thousands of people and is estimated to have cost $93bn to date." Whether it's accessing valuable resources, winning the race for space dominance, creating a pathway to Mars or inspiring the next generation, do the benefits ever truly outweigh the costs?

An interesting article and video here from the BBC about how language and accents are formed and change over time. I’d love to know what you think of it!
