Ayer se publicó en Linkedin una recreación de #AugustaEmerita en el s.I. realizada con #IA. Una venta de moto acerca de las bondades de la IA generativa como herramienta para crear documentales históricos y recursos para la educación, con todo rigor histórico, según el autor. 🧵

Even linkedin gets it
Mark Butcher 1) Sandra used AI to write a report 2) Bill used AI to summarise the report 3) Bill used AI to write questions about the report 4) Sandra used AI to respond to the questions 5) Bill used AI to create a presentation about the report 6) Jane used AI to take notes from the presentation 7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers. No business value was achieved But but but AI adds business value

Flying to Malpensa planning to drive a hire car 1000 miles to Sambuca di Sicilia (and presumably back) for 1 week house hunting but giving up after up after being exhausted after queuing 2.5 hours due to teething problems with the new border control systems … feels like fate had a very merciful day
We're rethinking our dream to buy a home in Sicily after border nightmare
New EU border systems, which came into force in mid-October, turned a couple's planned one-week fact-finding trip into 'a nightmare'

Polish pilots helped us to win the Battle of Britain - but later they were shunned

But gin the auld fowks’ tales are richt
An’ ghaists come hame on Hallow nicht,
O freend o’ freends! what wad I gie
To feel ye rax yer hand to me
Atween the dark an’ caun’le-licht?

—Violet Jacob, “Hallowe’en” (COUNTRY LIFE, 1920)

Jacob’s son, Harry, was killed at the Somme in 1916
#Halloween #poem
Hallowe’en Violet Jacob The tattie-liftin’s nearly through, They’re ploughin’ whaur the barley grew,‍‍ And aifter dark, roond ilka stack,‍‍ Ye’ll see the horsemen stand an’ crack O Lachlan, but I mind o’ you! I mind foo often we hae seen Ten thoosand stars keek doon atween‍‍ The nakit branches, an’ below‍‍ Baith fairm an’ bothie hae their show, Alowe wi’ lichts o’ Hallowe’en. There’s bairns wi’ guizards at their tail Clourin’ the doors wi’ runts o’ kail,‍‍ And fine ye’ll hear the skreichs an’ skirls‍‍ O’ lassies wi’ their droukit curls Bobbin’ for aipples i’ the pail. The bothie fire is loupin’ het, A new heid horseman’s kist is set‍‍ Richts o’ the lum; whaur by the blaze‍‍ The auld ane stude that kept yer claes— I canna thole to see it yet! But gin the auld fowks’ tales are richt An’ ghaists come hame on Hallow nicht,‍‍ O freend o’ freends! what wad I gie‍‍ To feel ye rax yer hand to me Atween the dark an’ caun’le licht? Awa in France, across the wave, The wee lichts burn on ilka grave,‍‍ An’ you an’ me their lowe hae seen—‍‍ Ye’ll mebbe hae yer Hallowe’en Yont, whaur ye’re lyin’ wi’ the lave. There’s drink an’ daffin’, sang an’ dance And ploys and kisses get their chance,‍‍ But Lachlan, man, the place I see‍‍ Is whaur the auld kist used to be And the lichts o’ Hallowe’en in France!

Also remember, don’t be an ignorant twat.
