In a landscape where fantasy often treads familiar paths, R.F. Kuang's *The Poppy War* evokes a sharp , mixing academic ambition with historical resonance. While the first half feels comfortably borrowed, the latter dives into haunting realities that echo our darkest histories. It’s a reminder that while in storytelling is commendable, true innovation craves the uncomfortable and the unexplored. More info at: rpgstorytellers.com/article/th

Rare to see a truly competent person speak up bluntly in public. Louise (Baroness) Casey does. Well done, m' Lady.

I won't show this to my 12yo daughters, they are too young. But it offers a model to them for how to be strong and straight.

They will find their own way to speak up and be straight.

Also, good to see the UK parliamentary system working well, on a truly troubling issue.

🎭 Behold, the revelation that reflect operator skill—because nobody ever contemplated that a tool's effectiveness might hinge on user competence! 🤖💡 Clearly, the author is pioneering the concept that isn't magic; it's just as skilled as the person using it. Prepare yourselves for the next riveting installment: hammers don't drive nails by themselves! 🛠️🙃

As a lifelong leftie and trade unionist, I am deeply disappointed in most of the actions of the Starmer govenment.

But.

Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, is a remarkable person. A politician on top of her brief. I disagree with her on many things, and she's allowed herself to be dragged into the immigrants-are-bad narrative. Shame on her. But she knows what she's talking about, she has a grip on things. Very rare in 2020s UK politics. Respect.

Watch her in this HOC committee meeting.

→ Evidence of a social evaluation penalty for using AI

“As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in #workplaces, understanding the social dynamics of AI adoption is crucial.”

“[W]e propose that people believe they will be evaluated negatively by others for using AI tools and that this belief is justified. […] [We] find that people who use AI at #work anticipate and receive #negative evaluations regarding their #competence and #motivation.”

Harvard Gazette: Know how those tech moguls want us to go to Mars? Ignore them.. “Tech billionaires promoting space exploration and colonization as the solution to humanity’s problems should be ignored, says Adam Becker. These CEOs have little to no expertise in engineering or astrophysics and have little to support their arguments beyond money, according to Becker, an astrophysicist, […]

I wrote an essay, Linked World, on my blog. It's about how it's no longer possible to talk about Business without talking about Politics in the US. There used to be a polite fiction that these were separable, but that fiction can no longer be meaningfully maintained. Our business world, at least for now, is completely political.

Memo:
How an expert responded to bullshit.

1. State a positive openess to discussion on reasonable questions.

2. State why the question, as originally asked, was bullshit.
