herewith a few Articles

a couple of new additions

while examining our old holistic practice management software we used to use in practice, now that we have found the time to update and modernise it, i came across a short pdf on data input for clinical quality audit i wrote in 2017. We have striven to keep its ethos with our new release

i asked Google search AI the following 10 questions
who would buy bonds if they gave zero interest?
is this the same for gilts?
would this reduce government borrowing?
can government create money without issuing bonds?
if the BoE introduced a digital £ could they then save on the seigniorage they would have paid?
what is the amount of seigniorage paid to commercial banks at present?
could this be avoided if the BoE were to introduce a digital £ directly itself?
if increased budget deficits were used to fund infrastructure renewal and repair and restore local services
nationwide would this increase real government borrowing?
how would financial markets view this and what would be the effect on the value of the £ ?
but surely our increased value of restored infrastructure would then be a valuable asset on our national balance sheet here is the short pdf with answers

I was very impressed with Anthropic's Claude (it re-organised a messy website of info for me very well, so decided to test out its "creativity' by giving it a short story i had written some time ago, (the Journey) and then requesting it made a fuller story, added chapters and characters and guided it to create a more involved complex scenario

the results are the full journey.pdf (my story is chapter 1 while the rest is our co-operation with notes)

it's raw but interesting perhaps and I may humanise it more some time

maybe not!!
