Who will become Prime Minister when Keir Starmer defects to Reform UK?

I am so upset by this. WHY would it be a problem having to walk past a hotel? At the moment - the problem is GANGS OF PRICKS kicking up a fuss outside them.

as a Chicago alumn (Astonomy & Astrophysics PhD 2000), this saddens me greatly. Chicago was such a great institution because of the strength of _all_ of the departments.

Dutch TheOnion: “Iraq announces it will invade US to bring freedom and democracy”

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*

Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when

An LLM just generates text

We have seen, time and again, there are stories on this, that trying to placate the hard/far right inevitably ends up emboldening them and causing them to gain ground. Lesson here isn't to try and appease them, but to confront them, because absolutely none of their arguments stand up to scrutiny. 2/

This is absolutely brilliant.

The best lampooning of a certain “Harvard Astronomer” I have seen.

"Bannign VPNs" would, apart from many other things, make it literally impossible for millions of students to access online library resources off-campus, & completely destroy the learning-model of thousands of degree programmes...

Mockup drawing of a UK parliament petition where the petitioner has asked for "good thing please" with description "we think the UK needs this". Government responded: "No."

Every UK petition is like this

the only people LLMs are qualified to replace are the people who think LLMs are qualified to replace anyone

Here's an idea politicians!

Why not chase the votes of the majority rather than a minority of racist thugs.

Crazy thought I know.

Aujourd'hui, c'est @nature.com qui mentionne notre travail sur les papiers COVID (bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....) et les problèmes de l'IHU(researchintegrityjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....) en décrivant mon parcours académique

During my last years in academia, I grew weary of helping NERC with their EDI initiatives...

And RE: "...are limiting applications from institutions based on past success rates...", I'm guess this means that institutions *not* currently in recent of a NERC grant will be viewed more favourably...🤔

• Discontinue the idea of introducing a levy on higher education provider income from international students. • Reduce visa costs to ensure they are at least as competitive in cost as other leading science nations, and preferably have a target to become the mos competitive in the G7. • Provide immediate clarity that the current time length for Indefinite Leave to Remain is kept in place for current and future Global Talent visa holders and their dependents.

We are calling on the UK Government to not introduce a levy on higher education provider income from international students, reduce visa costs to attract global talent, and to review higher education funding to create a sustainable model
