James pitches Martin on an idea he has had to solve the problem of congestion caused by robotaxis. And we speak to Sky News Technology Correspondent Rowland Manthorpe, who has been reporting on the data centre water usage controversy – and has been figuring out what the situation is here in the UK.

Rowland’s Substack piece on AI water usage is here, and he made a fantastic video about it here. The film he mentioned on ‘A machine to watch the world’ is here.

James picking a fight with half of the internet over robotaxis is here.

Martin’s piece on ‘picky bits’ and national decline is here, and his YouTube channel is here.
