You can move less than 100 miles and be in a completely diff jobs and skills environment.'The idea that a young person's interests, aptitudes and talents need to be moulded to fit their locality is A grade provincialism. I mean, sure, some people don't ever move but esp given limited immigration

One of the things I find odd about UK skills and jobs policies over the last 10 years is the idea that - for young people - place is destiny. It's like we've taken the Brexit memo and double stamped it into meaning you need to stay put to be a success. The geographical footprint of the UK is *tiny*

As far as I can tell, this dialog between MacArthur prize-winning mathematician Terrence Tao and Chatgpt about "the Jacobian conjecture counterexample" is very impressive: chatgpt.com/share/6a5fdc... 1/

She wasn't eligible for any state aid. Fine, you might say, she was relatively wealthy, why should anyone else pay? Well, if she had cancer, the NHS would have taken care of her. She had the misfortune to have a specific disease for which the punishment is to pay out all of your savings.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), responsible for tracking and issuing recalls of dangerous products sold in the U.S., have asked emergency rooms to share medical records and personally identifiable health data from patients who visit the ER.

On Truth Social, Trump urged John Thune (R), the Majority Leader of the Senate, to "not allow the United States Senate to 'leave town' until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER" and "Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING ...

I say this with nothing but love in my heart for the fatherland but can you imagine any other country looking at wildfires and thinking "quick, get a philosopher on the line"

this is incredibly sad

Trump posts two social media posts of AI imagery of him running again for a third term (consitutionally not allowed) in 2028 [link] TAT: [Controlling information | Undermining democracy]

the only person who knows what he wanted to say is him and he posted it... so presumably he's fine with what it does (or doesn't) say.

sure, but clearly loads of people *are* reading his tweets... for whatever reason (and I doubt it's accidental) that AI style seems quite hooky, esp for people who haven't seen it lots alreayd

I think it would be different if he was a journalist or author whose authority came from his writing ability. But he isn't.

but I can't say it really bothers me. I mean presumably he reads it through first and agrees with it, and enough people clearly like to read it - so does it matter if ChatGPT is better at articulating what he wants to say than he is?

phrasing is pure AI
