Epic edutainment for my week
It was probably a mistake, but the sheer quantity of bombings meant there were bound to be errors. Hard agree about deliberate ignorance.
Are you sure it's ignorance?
Might there be a hint of plausible deniability?
Stanley Milgram's experiment is well known and IMHO alive and well.
The more I hear about Mandelson the more this appears to be a stitch up / distraction. He may have been misguided but I'm still waiting for hard evidence of wrongdoing.
A great introduction to Solomon Asch's Conformity experiments, possibly made famous through the Candid Camera TV show, also how do you sauté your fish?
As a maintainer I'm acutely aware of my role and responsibilities. I've noticed a significant uptick in agent and users using AI. As the article states:
"That’s not a technical problem. It’s an accountability problem. And it’s arriving faster than the governance frameworks to handle it."
"Law Take it's Course" reminds me of Al Capone and his conviction for unpaid taxes.
As the guilty are dropping like flies, or brazening their brass neck. You're guaranteed a few laughs at their expense with more than a few uncovered revelations.
Ever wondered why some projects are hard, if not impossible to fully automate, let alone officially proceduralise:
"low status people that can deny a young civil servant their future career but would never be able to hold up a direct appointment of the Prime Minister"
Lord of the Flies contrasts with the real case of Tongan castaways who thrived for over a year in cooperative harmony:

I'm grateful real life cooperation wins 🏆🤝
Once verified, these individuals can reserve one free meal daily, collected within a three-hour window. After 8 pm, any unclaimed food is made available to the general public. #tech 6/6
The system prioritizes vulnerable groups during the day, including low-income families, people with disabilities, the elderly, disadvantaged children, and sanitation workers. 5/6
22 lockers have been installed across Futian's subdistricts, distributing over 400 meals daily and benefiting around half a million people over three years.

Besides making sure everyone has access to nutritious food, the program also reduces food waste in one of #China's wealthiest cities. Since its launch in May 2022, 3/6
After scanning a QR code, users can open green metal cabinets to retrieve neatly packed items like vegetables, fruits, and bread. These smart lockers, which are available 24/7, are part of a welfare initiative aimed at redistributing surplus but safe-to-eat food to those in need. 2/6
Useful ideas coming out of China:
#Shenzhen's #food bank system allows people to access free food just by using a smartphone.

Two early daffodils in bloom next to a path.
A single daffodil in bloom on a sunny morning next to another still in bud.
Spring is arriving whether you're prepared or not! I'm reconfiguring my garden in between assignments so have been avoiding the Orange Storm.
Worth every penny of my subscription for this alone:
"the Eye is denounced as “an absolute rag of a publication” by Epstein’s then lawyer"
Ship of Theseus: How many more need to defect before Reform becomes the new Conservatives?
Suella Braverman accuses Tories of betrayal as she defects to Reform UK - BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Congratulations or Commiserations, it's hard to choose. Wonder how much in-fighting they can juggle at once?
Maigret, A Family at War and The Hound of the Baskervilles, you're spoiling me 🙏🏻
As you say: "taking advice is itself a skill" leading to "And perhaps that’s the biggest risk AI brings. That some people benefit from it much more than others."
I guess eight days is long enough for a dead cat strategy.
Wonder how long the next wheeze will last 🤦🏻♂️
This is sad.
My American friends: I love you dearly, but until this fiasco ends, please understand I am standing beside and will support my European friends and allies.
It will no doubt be uncomfortable, painful even, but fairness, democracy and the rule of law must prevail.
I can but dream.
What if Trump's focus on Greenland, Venezuela and now Iran is a Dead Cat Strategy?
Sure he gets to keep Venezuelan oil, but with a distracted and diluted Europe, troubles at home and abroad get easier because there's only so much we can take in. News fatigue is real 😢
David Suchet is a brillant actor and this performance is chillingly compelling and realistic. He really does know how to be a British Gangster.
