Filming at Bristol Temple Meads today, where volunteers are trialling #passenger assistance app Aubin, designed to help neurodiverse customers.

Maybe it's just me.

But it seems all the tweets I see these days seem to follow the same structure.

Probably because all the talk of AI is getting a bit same-y.

Here's how...

(I'm not going to do a 10 tweet thread, but you get my drift)

6.Could it have a 'licencing effect' whereby watching means you don't give what you were going to give because you've already given by watching?

[Vasant Chari @VasChari]

The most fascinating story I've heard about the internet of late. MrBeast. The most popular YouTuber right now. So many big questions... 6 for now...

5. Watch the video and effectively donate to charity. Should/will this be the new way to give?

What a week! We’ve had over 100 people explore possible decision making systems relating to our freshwater be that Ecological AI, riverside festivals, nature stewardship programs or interspecies councils… huge thanks to @SomersetHouse for hosting @PolicyLabUK @CaBAtweets

8hrs is enough time to leave in the morning, 'work from train' (without interruption of back to back video calls: "sorry, I have to do old fashioned non-meeting work as I'm on a train") and maybe even have lunch in a nice place where the station is close to city centre...

Asked GPT4 for interesting takes on the impact of generative AI on policy making process in the UK. Got this after a couple of prompts... https://t.co/xzS87RDEaR and a couple of others that focused on AI policy, not AI in policy making. Would love other takes from actual humans
