My new mantra

[lemn sissay OBE FRSL @lemnsissay]

"How do you do it?" said night
"How do you wake and shine?"
"I keep it simple." said light
"One day at a time"

Managers told council staff to delay access to SEND support and laughed about it, whistleblower says
https://t.co/xggrQ3M1H1

[Chris Coghlan MP 🔶 @_Chris_Coghlan]

“Senior council managers encouraged colleagues to make it difficult for families to access special needs support and laughed about denying help to children with SEND.” 1/5

@GaryMarcus You are one of the most useful and sane voice on this platform

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@TfL thank you I have now submitted the form because the route has been unreliable this week

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@TfL is there issues with route 328 towards Chelsea worlds end ? Is it possible to find out what time bus scheduled from Kilburn / Quex Road at 7:39am this morning departed? My son tells me he didn’t arrive, Google maps seems to indicate otherwise. Thanks

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@bphillipsonMP I hope that you are aware that attendance is used as a mean to cast away pupils with SEND / SEMH … by putting pressure on families without adequate support merely hinting that this may not be the right setting …

@tfl
How to check travel history for young people’s card ? Can’t see on the feature on website or anywhere for this matter. Also topping-up is buggy & as a result I have a child stuck at station

@GaryMarcus Assuming OpenAI still exists in its current form …

[Miss Jo @therealmissjo]

I have an elderly friend who is in her 80s.

She lives in Cornwall.

Mary is very switched on but she struggles with new technology a bit - especially parking apps.

All she wants to do is put her car in a space for a couple of hours and pay.

She does not want to sign up for a new app.

She does not want to verify her device.

She does not want to save her credit card information.

She does not want to figure out why the app thinks she is in Devon and cannot geolocate the car park she is standing in.

She wants to take a few coins and put them in a machine and do her shopping/meet her friends. Now, she finds excuses not to meet friends or shop because she is so worried about the parking situation.

It is a disgrace that parking has become so discriminatory and this is just the start. When Digital ID is introduced, her whole world will feel like this.

@GaryMarcus I feel AI generated content only makes sense when you are within the context of the task at hand - pass it to a co-worker or look at it a few days later & you are left wondering what the hell has been created - It’s almost like a cognitive dissonance.

@ZARA_Care
I received the completely wrong items in my order & now have to go to the store to have items returned & hopefully have my issues resolved - thanks to your stupid #ai #agent. This is not good. Why have I got to have all the inconvenience in sorting your mistake ?! 😡

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@GaryMarcus - GenAI bubble burst
- OpenAI absorbed into Microsoft
- Postmorterm to find what went wrong
- Some chat bots will still be there - like a better version of clippy
- More solid and specialised AI to solve actual problems
- Governance
- Gary Marcus to start a new AI lab

@SimonCalder Our flight was delayed and should have left before the air traffic failure, then the failure happened, our flights was subsequently cancelled but after the failure was resolved … what happens in this case ?
A replacement flights was found but we are left to sort everything else

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@OpenAIDevs By “boomer prompts”, do you mean “prompt engineering techniques that have been widely advocated until now ?

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@emollick Did they just rename what used to be known as prompt engineering ?

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

The @duolingo team just published their internal handbook sharing how they build product, hire, experiment, and build a brand around "wholesome and unhinged" 🤣👏👌

Lots of good ideas to borrow/steal for your own team.

@DanNeidle Others are setting up fake companies using residential address in the UK. It is then up to the person who has addressed has been used fraudulently to prove their address. Mad!
Thank for the post & the tool - hope @CompaniesHouse sets some check at time of registration.

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@bphillipsonMP 1. Each child should have access to brillant schools regardless of the aspiration of their families.
2. It’s not a “tax break” - it’s a new & punitive tax on families who have opted for independent schools.

You don’t drive up standard with divisive policies

[Clare B. @clamonil]

@Ianbarnes2001 And new Bond Street, to have such beautiful shop facades to have thousands people crammed onto narrow pavements in an absolute shame.
