As part of a Bafta TV special, the nominated actor talks carving out a niche playing people at breaking point, the ‘dreamy’ romcom she’s currently writing, and what she really thought of that Prince Andrew interview“I’ve had so many coffees, I feel hysterical,” says Billie Piper. The 42-year-old actor has set up camp in a caff in Camden, London, while she finishes the final draft of a romcom she’s working on – a follow-up to her 2021 directorial debut, Rare Beasts.

57 h. ago Amazon says it’s a ‘myth’ that robots kill jobs. Here’s the reality | Benjamin Y Fong

The company is sending more packages every year – but with fewer fulfillment center workersStefano La Rovere, director of global robotics, mechatronics and sustainable packaging at Amazon, has the unfortunate task of trying to convince the public that Amazon is not in fact automating away human labor with its robotics deployments.“It is a myth that technology and robots take out jobs,” La Rovere told CNBC last year.
