You're speaking my language Sam 💚 problem is, how to make those ideas accessible and not scary for those who struggle with that level of conceptual flexibility and - dare I even say it - playfulness (even tho the impact is deadly serious).
I accidentally wrote a thread on paradigmatic change in general & specifically the challenges for the success of the neurodiversity paradigm & why some autistic ppl may be hostile towards it but (even more so) shouldn’t be left behind that I’m semi-happy with. Design justice & all that jazz innit
I can’t believe they literally called it ‘a quick fix’. Beyond parody.

HMP Wandsworth gets ‘green light’ to use AI after team sent in to find ‘quick fixes’ after spate of mistakes
Artificial intelligence chatbots could be used to stop prisoners from being mistakenly released from jail, a justice minister told the House of Lords on Monday.
Lord Timpson said HMP Wandsworth had been given the “green light” to use artificial intelligence (AI) after a specialised team was sent in to find “some quick fixes”. Continue reading...

🧵 why I still firmly believe we should never, ever have automated decision making anywhere near the public sector.
Flaws and glitches are minor concerns easily dismissed. Being “mid” is fine because someone can promise this will get less mid and plenty of people are willing to believe. GenAI isn’t mid. It’s linear algebraic sociopathy.

Christine Smout, 24, reportedly felt her blood run cold and saw the colour drain from her face in her reflection as she contemplated the prospect of continuing the course of driving lessons she began of her own free will, and actually pays money for.

For the semiotics nerds in the back.
Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Who could have ever predicted that risk with automated decision making on services that materially impact people 🙄 what's a real problem is the ideology of 'fraud chasing' not based on data, just stereotypical vibes.

HMRC pauses child benefit crackdown after 23,500 families caught up in data error
Parents say they were treated as fraudsters because Home Office travel records failed to show their return to UK
The UK tax authorities have announced they will no longer cut off parents’ child benefit payments after a new crackdown on overseas fraud backfired due to incomplete Home Office travel data.
The flawed data led to HMRC suspending 23,500 payments in recent weeks, including for many families who had simply gone on holiday without the Home Office recording their return. Continue reading...

Interesting form dilemma. I'm filling in Health and Care Experience survey (came in the post) and here's a question. Scratching my head how I'm supposed to answer that. Do they mean any appointment? Because yes, technically, but never face to face; it's always a phone appointment. So is that a no?

To add to my previous point, I would have been deported already under those rules as my income was technically under that amount after the redundancy for 6 months when I was recovering from burnout 🙃 I had settlement money to give me that space ofc but I somehow doubt there’d be exceptions for that.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.
This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

Im once again reminded that the reason I think I’ve become a slow reader in later age is because I started reading way more non-fiction which requires a different kind of focus and doesn’t always grip attention the same way as good fiction, even if interesting.
