The fact that the SNP didn't call a snap indyref after the match yesterday is a disgrace.

This sums up so much of what is wrong with this government.
1) you don't need "AI" to do this (I'd wager that there are some consultants making money from this grift)
2) staff in schools are massively overworked, the way to improve attendance is to invest in more staff, not set arbitrary targets

You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires?
This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.
Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.

🤑Private rolling stock companies extracted at least £410 million in profits in 2023, and at least £360 million a year for the last decade.

I split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n

Excited to share that the final chapter of my PhD has been published in Science Advances. We show that large post-earthquake debris flows in Wenchuan are more frequent than expected due to the large volumes of sediment stored in channels. 🏔️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #landslides
The hazard of large debris flows
Large debris flows entrain sediment from extreme events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to form an escalating hazard.

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

Whenever you see reports of the financial potential and/or inevitable transformative impact of AI, it's worth reminding yourself of the McKinsey report from just three years ago that predicted that the metaverse would generate $5,000,000,000,000 of value by 2030.

I'm glad we are basing the entire global economy around the machine that is wrong 45% of the time.
45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
