On ***[YIMBY Pod](https://yimbypod.com)*** this week:

- We talk about the security implications of the latest AI advances – and how the British government should respond to threat. And more importantly, James claims victory in his argument with Martin over AI.
- Then we speak to the brilliant **[Jonn Elledge](https://jonn.substack.com/)** about his new book,**[31 Inventions that Built Our World](https://link.amazon/B0jaDrMtK).**

James recently wrote about [the national security case for building data centres](https://takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/the-case-for-nightingale-datacentres), and [how to fix Top Gear](https://takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/how-to-fix-top-gear).

Martin’s Substack is [here](https://martinrobbins.substack.com/p/on-picky-bits-and-national-decline), and his YouTube channel is [here](https://www.youtube.com/@MFRobbins).
