Mahad Kalam – The UK paid £4.1 million for a bookmarks site:

The UK Government recently unveiled its ‘AI Skills Hub’, which wants to provide 10 million workers with AI skills by 2030. The main site was delivered by PwC for the low, low price of.. £4.1 million (~$5,657,000).

It is not good. Like, at all – the UI is insanely bad and it’s clear that this was just a vibecoded site (to be fair, this is the AI Skills Hub, but c’mon, where is the pride in your work? I would be ashamed to even release this as a prototype!)

Also on this, Scotty Quilter – The UK Government’s AI Skills Hub: A Critical Analysis:

On 28 January 2026, the UK Government launched an expanded AI Skills Hub with the ambitious goal of upskilling 10 million workers by 2030. Backed by £27 million in public funding and partnerships with 25+ organisations, this initiative has been presented as Britain’s answer to the AI skills crisis. However, a closer examination reveals fundamental flaws in both design and execution that risk undermining the very goals the programme seeks to achieve.
