Eye catching chart from Anthropic. The blue area shows job tasks that LLMs could theoretically do, and the red bit shows what they are doing. White collar roles such as legal, finance, computing are most at risk of automation. Bartenders and cooks can’t be automated!

Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man

This is Judith Leyster's amazing 1631 painting ‘Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man’.

She was well known in her day but SURPRISE! her works were later misattributed either to Frans Hals, her local contemporary, or her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer.

Now for crochet and lighting a fire.

Every time it’s a good idea (for me!) to give myself a push/kick up the behind - feeling so much better for a) parkrun, b) choir flyers distributed, c) backyard tidying.

I'm now recruiting for a crucial post in my team - Curator: Parliamentary Art Collection. A rare chance to work with a wonderful collection in a unique setting.

Hello USA listen just to remind you that the Ides of March are on the 15th

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

Yes there’s so much wrong with the world … *gestures* Hope the brain can switch to a smaller circle where you’re in control again.
Also sending g’nite vibes ((()))

Bach's St John Passion | St Paul's Cathedral

First rehearsal of the year for this. Usually the audience has to pay for tickets, but this year it's free for some reason. Get a ticket and you might get to see me fall off the stage, like I did last year.

Thankfully this one didn’t need much persuading. BUT: they’d presented themselves to the crisis team before and got quickly discharged … worried that happens again - not because of ignorance or neglect, just because the system is literally too full.

Slowly getting out of a mental/emotional slump, then friend: just talked someone down from thw bridge they were aboot to jump off.

Just a note that it's been over 80 years since Germany & France were at war with each other. The last time that streak has happened in recorded history is never.

Things can and do get better.

So, all this rain. Has someone got started on the ark?

Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40%, study finds Cognitive health in later life is ‘strongly influenced’ by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

G’nite 🥱😴

Really hope you’re homme soon

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation.

The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism.

There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.
