Most of it was news for me. Indeed, the Guardian is on lefter side of English politics, but it's trustworthy. Maybe more even than the popular Sun (with the page 3 girls, see https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/page-3/page/3/ ).
And Utrecht is in the midst of the Netherlands, 40 km (25 miles) south of Amsterdam.

I'm familiar with the Page 3 girls.

Bad choice of word? I wonder if any of them has got a career boost out of it.
Treaty of Utrecht was what I had in mind. That moved a bunch of cities from "what is now Belgium" to "what is now the Netherlands". I told you I'm old; only a couple centuries behind. Happy
Back to our story; this just in. I came across a piece last month with a pessimistic view of AI. I can't find it now, but it's not this one: https://aeon.co/essays/true-ai-is-both-logically-possible-and-utterly-implausible
I list this because it's interesting. Note the part on Microsoft's chat bot failure.
Anyway I searched for it but couldn't find it. If you do, you'll find it with an appropriate title and a date of Feb 2018.
I got the Utrecht info from my paper Britannica, so it's safe to post.
Happy
