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

It completely does - burning them in effigy on top of a skyscraper would be my first choice if that was an option to stop junk. I mean, it might be. Maybe I should try it.

…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.
