We finally have randomized, controlled clinical trial results from ambient AI scribes. But what do these RCTs actually tell us?
Look at the below chart. Time savings are often low, but doctors give the technology rave reviews, esp in anecdotes that people tend to believe more than data 👀 🧵

One theory I have is that there has been a deliberate push toward making journalism synonymous with opinion and commentary, which in part has been accelerated with the knowledge that this could massively undermine what the BBC purports to be
The BBC (in name of 'impartiality') has entered some post-post-truth hall of mirrors, in which it holds the Labour Chancellor to some epistemological standard so high, that nobody can understand what the hell it actually means
Chris Mason sounds utterly absurd, trying to turn the screws on Rachel Reeves while acknowledging that she has done nothing that one wouldn't expect a politician to do.

Fun fact: The Nightmare Sequence was mentioned in The Conversation’s Best Books Of 2025, thanks to Jen Webb. Another fun fact: this is my first book released in Aus, UK, and the US in the same year and so far it’s gotten zero reviews in mainstream papers and outlets.

Doing some RA work on the side in the primary school education/trauma space and... like, I know this isn't a novel observation per se, but every single interview I conduct adds another layer to my general belief that schools are genuinely one of our most bizarre social systems.

In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

The Glinner article in The Observer (I ain't posting it but if you want to find it I've given you the relevant info) is WILD! The journalist is genuinely transphobic and STILL thinks Glinner is a mentally unwell danger who should stop.

I'm recruiting a PhD student to work with me on a project related to my Future Fellowship at Monash University on the political economy of insurance, risk technology, climate governance, and the crisis of uninsurability. Here's the overview of my fellowship.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
