New study from the Max‑Planck Institute: ChatGPT has begun influencing human speech. Analysis of over 740,000 hours of academic podcasts and YouTube lectures shows a significant surge in ChatGPT‑preferred vocabulary such as “delve,” “comprehend” and “meticulous” since 2022.

Fame at last! Really touched to get a shoutout from @georgewalkley.com during his fantastic talk, AI: Threats and Opportunities for Publishers, at the PLS conference today. Great insights and perspectives.

🔖New IBM report reveals that the journey to an AI-powered content supply chain is hitting real-world snags. 🚧 Early adopters are encountering unexpected complexities - from integration snags to scaling issues.

No real surprise, change always comes with a few bumps.

Would you like to ask Lizzie what she thought about Mr Darcy at first sight? On 7 Mar 2025 17:30 - 18:30 GMT, Professor Sophy Smith will describe the development of Elizabeth Bennett’s Avatar Lizzy & potential implications for interactive technology for museums: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/meet-lizzy...

I loved ⚡Electric Dreams⚡ at Tate Modern! It's subtitled Art and Technology Before the Internet but much of it still feels modern, radical, and experimental. It's also a lot of fun, capturing that wonderful 1960s optimistic vibe about how tech can shape the future for good! Well worth a visit!

Another great @MindstoneHQ practical #AI meetup last night - standing room only! Staggering to see how fast tools like Cursor are improving. Joshua Wöhle’s talk on the future of work was particularly thought provoking. Will adaptability be more important than degrees?

Next step: Save 11 page research report from Google Deep Research into a google doc and convert to PDF. Add PDF to Google NotebookLM. Convert into podcast format and then using voice ask a question to the presenters about what’s just been said & get a pretty good response back.
