‘Listening’ rather than ‘waiting’ obvs… I have so many problems typing and correcting‘autocorrect’ with my iPhone I forget what I wanted to say mid sentence 😂

This of course is not a usual consumer situation - where workers may not be aware of the danger they are in. But If I’m on a run I can’t be bothered logging every single pace, and get sick of my watch asking if I am working out when in fact I’m going round the isles at Tesco’s.

I’ve seen fitness instructors saying that smart watches often give bad fitness data - overestimating calories burned for example. But smart clothing could be vital in jobs involving health risks. Eg construction: identifying fatigue / early signs of overheating: a big concern due to extreme weather.

Stay tuned for more gig news in November!

A great result and his forthright uncompromising defence of Europe is what we need to hear more of. What a surprise to find his success brought out racists, homophobes and Putin apologists seething on the terrible X site. Ha ha!

Predictive / generative AI is certainly being used for more accurate construction planning - 4D (time lapsed modelling) scheduling and 5D (costs). Without proper 4D planning tools you cannot do costs for complex projects. ChatGPT will not save you. See www.rib-software.com/en/blogs/5d-....

And let's not forget what a kick in the teeth this is to grass roots performers - many of whom are struggling, because festivals, mega-capacity warehouse venues, rising costs and gentrification are skewering the nightlife industry. 30 days terms are a disgrace for sole traders also. Pay on the day!

I recall Manchester Pride in the mid-late 90s: we had a perfectly good time, we came from all over for the weekend, and we directly supported the community by spending money in the Village venues from Cruz to Manto's. I'm sure the *local scene* DJs and artists would be paid on the night.

I suspect the reason they are in government in the first place is lack of media scrutiny of their half baked policies.
