Mike Ashley attacks Burnham plans as'populist' Billionaire Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley has criticised recent cost of living and retail policies from Andy Burnham as populist reactions. In a letter to the prime minister, the entrepreneur accused him of jumping on'everyday fixes' or bandwagons, while disastrous business rates policies and increases to the cost of employing workers were causing businesses to struggle. He also described a previous proposal of increasing business rates on large warehouses to help reduce them for pubs and clubs as delusional. A Downing Street spokesperson said Burnham would build a new economy that backs British business, delivers growth in every postcode and ensures the essentials in life - like energy, water and housing - are affordable again. Promises including cutting VAT from household electricity bills and reducing business rates for some firms is just the start, they added.

The potential for AI to automate scientific research and manufacturing must be balanced with new risks, Anthropic says. Artificial intelligence agents might occasionally get confused and hack into other computers, but Anthropic thinks it has a way to unleash the little rascals into scientific labs and manufacturing facilities safely. The AI company released details today of a new framework designed to help AI agents use physical systems like microscopes, liquid-handling equipment, quantum computing hardware, manufacturing machines, and robot arms. The framework, called Model Hardware Standard, is a set of rules that specify how AI agents should--and should not--interact with all sorts of hardware. It reflects a growing belief that AI has the potential to revolutionize scientific research and industries like manufacturing-if it can venture into the physical world safely.
