I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This is a fantastic way of putting it.

I can’t help but think of what the clinical equivalent of this is, and then explore any negative reactions I am having. There are many sacred cows out there that may be holding back better patient care

It’s a fabulous adaptation btw:

Is anyone *not* strict by the parallels between 2019 Watchmen adaptation (HBO) and current situation with masked ICE officers in US?

Woah! Jah! Happy memories

It was literature prize though, right? (Not challenging that Trump is absurd recipient of a regift here tho)

Not at all shabby. Maybe we can resurrect the old “code warrior” style games where people vibecode robots to battle one another in an online arena

Wish I could break that habit. Feeling FOAMO

Oddly enough, the only time I’ve ever really used and even got from Claude in chrome was pretty much the same thing - buried cloudflare config!

Watching Princess Bride because:
1) rob Reiner was a genius
2) Donald Trump is an arsehole

Something I see a lot too, and partly why I encourage exploration of AI in non-work spaces first to reduce the “risk” which chills experimentation and learning. Hobbies always fertile ground, given higher user expertise and less harm when things go awry

Accommodation Nation America’s colleges have an extra-time-on-tests problem.

One statistic that really surprised me is how sharply disability registration has risen at elite universities.

At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled. At Amherst, it’s 34%, and at Stanford, it's 38%.

Given rising recognition of neurodiversity and sequelae of pandemic, not completely surprising. Also highlights inadequacy of testing methodologies, which are needing update given impact of AI too

I benefit from free tuition in Scotland and a very small student loan that I cleared quickly. I (we) were tremendously lucky, and I’m with you - this cost should be bourne by wider society as we all benefit from it

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China."

Claude just got “Skills”—modular folders that turn it into a specialist on demand. ⚙

Key stats
Products: Apps, Code, API.
Features: composable, portable, efficient, powerful (code exec).
Use cases: Excel/PowerPoint/Word/PDF.

Fascinating stuff. Can’t help but think of a similar theme in clinical settings: is it care if there isn’t an emotional intent driving the interaction?
Didn’t quite capture the paradox you did, but Claude did write a nice short story illustrating things

Anthropic models now available to Microsoft co-pilot users - great!

Microsoft shipping data outside its secure cloud to do so, and losing all warranties re residency, copyright protection, etc, into the bargain - not great!

Hope you took them to court and won on a peel. It’s a pith-y that this happened!

I think most dismiss as noise, BUT - they won’t be seeing it for first time if it happens for real, and that is the most important thing

Oh, and TV/monitors measures in inches

UK is mixed here. Road distances are imperial measures, as is height and weight. Food and drink is often interchangeable, but alcohol is pints, fuel gallons.
