#unethicalOptimizationPrinciple paper now out in @royalsociety Open Science. Thanks to brilliant co-authors Heather Battey, Anthony Davison & Robert Mackay.

@DameWendyDBE gave us quote for press: "This is a really important paper. It shows that…

@dan_djs_ @the_olliedean So what about this blatantly racist official police material which precisely calls for more favourable treatment for some people based on their race?

@edwardstrngr65 @JohnHealey_MP Hmm - but the pressures to upgrade the software & drone tech in an AI age will be enormous. Could they really? And at V minimum this super-official must be in post for 10 years, with a huge bonus at the end for successful delivery. Musical chairs destroys accountability.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@DAaronovitch Everyone who commits such crimes should be severely punished, regardless of their race. Do you think something had gone wrong that should’ve been raised?

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@edwardstrngr65 @JohnHealey_MP Glad to hear it. Would they really be able to stay on the job for 10y & stand up to the contractors & MoD types & help successfully deliver a c£80bn project on time & budget? Have they ever done this on one of >5% that size?

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@edwardstrngr65 @JohnHealey_MP Sure, but NAD is an incredibly tough role as it is. For GCAP we probably need someone on a 10 year contract, paid £500kpa + bonus of £10m when it’s successfully delivered.

@Ameer_Kotecha This kind of appalling racial discrimination based material, which has been mainstreamed in much of the public sector, needs to be extirpated. Equal treatment for all is vital

@kelvmackenzie It’s not DEI. It’s the blatantly racially discriminatory “anti-racism” which specifically rejects treating people equally.

@mtpennycook Great initiative. But the whole point of such Development Corporations is that they will continue to deliver regardless of which PM or party is in power.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@salonium (Science Advances not Science)
Like any other paper when such questions are raised, it should be flagged as Questionable, and if the objections are shown to be valid it should be retracted.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@GHWTowler @Fox_Claire Just look at this appalling material, baking in blatant racial discrimination. Indefensible

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@DavidGauke It simply exposes the fact that most of the leaders of “Reform” are unprincipled liars.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@James_Treadwell @Fox_Claire @rorygeo The evil racial discrimination embedded in “anti-racism” programmes that have infected so much of public life must be completely removed.
This whole edifice is completely wrong & blatantly discriminatory

@Baroness_Nichol “ did you think to run your nonsense by a lawyer? (if so hesitate to pay)”👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@andrew_lilico @KemiBadenoch Exposing the fact that Reform is fraudulent is argue with the most important single job in political discord right now

@andrew_lilico @KemiBadenoch They’re just desperate because their bubble is bursting. This will deflate it further.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@kevinhollinrake We expect lies from some “Reform” figures but @danny__kruger & @jtworr are Christians who must be appalled by this blatant bearing of false witness.

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@BCollasMath This looks very good. What are the arguments against it?

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@nasqret This looks very good. What are the arguments against signing it?

[Nicholas Beale @Starcourse]

@skominers @axiommathai All the papers I’m now working on have appendices with Lean formalisation of the maths. I think this may become as normal as making the code available for any numerical work.
