Important nuance, though: if you click though to the underpinning study you see this section: ‘we show […] that these articles largely do not appear in Google and ChatGPT. We do not evaluate whether AI-generated articles are viewed in proportion by real users, but we suspect that they are not.’

There are some roundabouts that have a small herd of cattle that graze on them, and that’s always felt quintessentially English to me. I still don’t understand why there aren’t more accidents

Apologies for the slight hijack, but you lovely people will know: who are your key follows for the beauty / fashion side of Bluesky? This content is the only reason I ever open Instagram and I need to get away from that place

I think there’s an observer effect. Many people didn’t have an opinion until it became a common issue, then the wave function collapsed and they fell into the closest opinion.

And it’s a nice reminder that the observer effect doesn’t need an intelligence to be involved. /gratuitous snark

What’s a good and brand new word or term to describe this? I’m batting around ‘typenosis’ (Typography / hypnosis) or perhaps ‘wordship’, but you amazing minds at Bluesky can do better and catchier. (3/3)

…lists of functions. So I guess to some extent it follows that, IF those functions are no longer the key output (insert heavy scepticism here) that many would think there was nothing else to learn.

…for me the more interesting point is that it exposes the metacognitive and meta-knowledge gaps in AI learning materials, which in turn come from gaps in the definition of what the programming skillset actually is. I’m not a programmer myself, but have seen curricula that are little more than… 2/n

Love these!
Many foods and drinks are worth taking the time to learn to appreciate: olives, coffee, blue cheese. Pale ale isn’t one of these things.

I’m having a great time looking at this series of posts, and yours really touched me! So lovely.

I love a niche voting venue. I grew up in rural Suffolk and our closest was a little battered lean-to that you’d have sworn had cows in it a few minutes ago.

I spoke to some international human rights lawyers at the weekend and found it clarifying. Here’s my notes - they agree with what you’re saying - organisations can still be trans-inclusive.
