Believing the point of Wired—or journalism at large—is to give ideas for venture capitalists to invest in is bafflingly ahistorical and narcissistic.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
*initially consulting. Then it went a bit silly
Tbf, Woodward was consulting on performance culture and there’s definitely scope for that sort of cross pollination. But yeh, your example is funny
I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.

I love
This is partly why the ‘everyone can spin up a model’ discourse irritates me. The other element being, no, not everyone can
The two Liverpool-Wolves games — same teams, same locations, three days apart — were a nice little experiment to show just how volatile soccer is from a game to game basis, even when nothing fundamental changes at all.
Umm I actually haven’t heard this story…
It’s just so lovely
Text from OpenAI article on its educational programs: "Agency does not emerge from basic AI use alone. Students must progress from simple tasks to deeper applications such as studying, building, creating, coding, and managing agents. But among college-age users, we see a widening global “capability overhang,” defined as the gap between what AI tools can do and how people actually use them. Even advanced student users still operate roughly 90% to 99% below how power users of ChatGPT are engaging with our tools. Educational institutions play a central role in closing that gap. Faculty and educators can help students harness AI’s full potential by embedding authentic AI use cases into coursework—assignments that use AI and mirror real professional work, such as analyzing a market, designing a product concept, evaluating a policy trade-off, or building a simple agent"
Shouldn't let OpenAI puff about education get to me, but its claim students need AI skills for future jobs and "agency", then letting slip it really means making students into GPT "power users", and making that an educational imperative, *and* planning to measure it ... 😦 openai.com/index/ai-edu...
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
My two teams, Southampton and Winchester City, were both relegated last season. Winchester at least kept it to the last day of the season

Dad’s dad was RAF.
Mum’s dad was a very curious guy, came from what is now Poland in the 30s for obvious reasons, ran among other things a sausage skin factory, two hotels, a taxi firm, also involved in black market food trading and arranging jazz gigs, went bust in basically every business
NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.
Grim but important thread.
It would be so ridiculous if Iran lose the chance to play in the World Cup because they’re being bombed by the hosts and FIFA actively helps exclude them because Infantino is the biggest Trump fanboy.
