Maybe LLM's do have a sense of irony, if not humour. Student's LLM-generated essay, passage about developing search terms, supports with article entitled, 'Automation of systematic literature reviews: A systematic literature review' - thought I was hallucinating 🥴😤🤨😶‍🌫️

oh that it were so simple

because the central point is about reducing friction, so that more people who wish to move could do so... rather than being chilled off it. This is to ignore any references to demographic collapse which may provide a different 'solution' to the 'problem'...

likely would have same impact as LML's will have in solving poverty, world peace or climate change... i.e. inverse. Logi more likely to turn heads with a mouse that composts itself -another solution LML's will not deliver.

You love the outdoors. So why are you pooping all over it? Millions of Americans a year visit national parks and many leave their business anywhere. Contrary to popular belief, that deluge of poop is not going to decompose

Today is Refugee Day.

So we thought it was time to dispel the myths which surround asylum seekers and refugees.

Well you seem to like the stats from London, so let's take a little look at what happened in some other cities that introduced 30 km/h speed limits...

Brussels 🇧🇪
- road deaths ⬇️ 55%

Paris 🇫🇷
- serious and fatal crashes ⬇️ 40%

Zurich 🇨🇭
- road deaths ⬇️ 25%

might have thought that's a benefit to people who buy things like that in order to parade... on another point, sadly the idiot racers also kill wildlife - we're sure to see a number of young bird corpses on our streets as spring turns to summer

yes, and traffic (and other road use, even simply crossing a road on foot) flows better if the human feels better able to judge the speed of other road users. E.g. less hesitancy entering a road/roundabout - less stress too!

The real cost of AI is being paid in deserts far from Silicon Valley In Empire of AI, journalist Karen Hao writes about the rise of OpenAI and the impacts of AI around the world. Below is an extract from the book on the effects on Chile's mineral reserves and water res...

😎 However, every time I task the LLM to perform a cognitive task, it blunts my own ability to do that and sharpens the LML (and I am not rewarded for this digital turk effort). Less an issue for the teacher than the taught. Even bigger issue for enslaved elsewhere restofworld.org/2025/ai-reso...

does personalised feedback require a person though...?

Your chatbot friend might be messing with your mind OpenAI, Meta and others want people to spend more time with AI chatbots, but there is growing evidence that they can hook users or reinforce harmful ideas.

Some of the worst people on the planet are in charge of this tech, and they are telling you it should be your friend, coach, therapist, and tutor.

Golden Cenarth is a fun cheese to gift. Gryff's had updated their risk assessment, so 'under the counter' and brought to the till in cuffs under armed guard. Poor unsuspecting recipient is grateful but GC biding its time... learning about its victim...

it isn't, I guess is the point. Do we want higher education available to all? and other such questions...

much worse... except fees was not always been the status quo, and fees do not cover costs (even though real wages cut ~20% in ~15yrs). Someone poisoned the magic money tree? 🤷

too late for many...

apparently, a willing staff volunteer only tuned their prompt once and came up with a convincing lump of prose so even they're getting chilled off. I asked them to send it to me 🌞

sadly am getting chilled off by colleagues who worry that AI is too good at producing lit reviews and that the above would only confirm students in their habit to resort to AI. The plot has been lost, and will stay lost if we give up on properly scrutinising AI output.
