Children raise five sense icons. Only the eye and half the ear connect to a computer screen. Smell, touch and taste are marked not measured.

Children can still beat AI at four of the five senses

Five senses AI: machines now see and hear, but none can smell, touch or taste. What ARC-AGI-3 and ARIA reveal about the gap between AI and superintelligence.

"Why set up a company in Britain?" Illustration of a football pitch split by a chasm labeled "the valley of death," with a team ("we build the best teams in the world") lined up at one end. A bridge made of UK R&D funding mechanisms — paid monthly against payroll, 43.5% refundable, grants against the plan, state fund no interest, refund eighteen months later — spans the gap toward a goal captioned "an exit worth reaching." A red arrow labeled "sold halfway across" cuts across the bridge partway over, and a spirit level on the near side reads "level the pitch." Scale figures at bottom read "1 team across, $1bn / 100 teams, $100bn / 1,000 teams, $1 trillion," with captions "science works" and "pays for itself" near the chasm.

The Trillion Dollar Question in This UK Budget.

Why Set Up a Company in Britain? Two asks from a British entrepreneur who wants to. Neither requires rejoining the EU, neither is a subsidy. Author: Simon Rasalingham, 2026 Foreword A founder starting a frontier life sciences AI technology company today has no rational reason to do it in Britain. I am asking for two changes in this Budget, neither of which requires us to rejoin the EU. The prize for getting it right is a trillion dollars of economic impact. I have been involv

Your 1990s Desktop Still Beats a Quantum Computer. That's Not the Story.

Author: Simon Rasalingham, 2026 A new benchmark paper gives us, for the first time, a single number to compare quantum computers across platforms. The number is not flattering — and the reason it isn't flattering is more interesting than the number. The headline finding, stated plainly: the best quantum computers on Earth are not losing the race to classical machines. They have not yet reached the starting line. Everything below is the evidence for that, and what it should do
