Me: "CoPilot, can you change the color of my jumper to navy blue?"
CoPilot: "Here’s the updated image with the jumper color accurately changed to navy blue"
Me: "yeah, no!"

Whilst online studies are great, particularly for large N, can't help think we lose something in our teaching if students don't create real world stim, or run participants in person, and all those challenges. Was my PhD (below) ground-breaking? No; but I inspired the Beastie Boys so there is that!

For anyone else getting frustrated by CoPilot #Ai icons appearing in every #Microsoft app whether you want it or not, good to know you can actually turn it off in some places. This is for #Teams, in the settings. In case ye are “old fashioned” like myself!

The fact that I am about to watch three weeks solid of cycling and get absolutely no fitter is a good test that mirror neurons aren’t a thing! Happy #GiroDItalia to all that celebrate.

The cables I use at home (left) versus the cables I take on holiday (right). Somethings just can’t be explained.
