No, you repeatedly claimed that he will turn it. We all know he can, but he has shown no desire to do so.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

This is hilarious. If the Tories alienate the pensioners surely they're done as a party?

We are doing this. There are many stages in the research process for which AI is excellent. It would be negligent not to teach this. For example, creating search strings in a literature review or coding unstructured data.
My uni is also making quite a bit of money teaching business people how to use genAI in aspects of Decision support. We also support a genAI after-school club for kids within our local area.
I personally feel we will adapt to it quite well and quickly, now that we have got our heads out of the sand. I don't think, for example, it is likely for anyone to get a first-class degree simply by getting genAI to do their work because 1) most good degrees have a variety of assessments in-built 2) the big research databases* have blocked the latest research from the likes of OpenAI. So at best, research using the off-the-shelf AI tools can only find poorly researched publicly available internet resources. So I wouldn't expect, e.g. an MSc dissertation written by copilot to achieve a high mark, though it will probably be quite well structured, etc.
*They are creating their own AI tools, because they are the most greedy of greedy cnuts.

Agree with everything you said. It has been worrying how many academics haven't thought to request training for AI. A bit like insisting students don't use computers.
It is going to take 2 full terms of parliament to make the kind of substantial change/'movement of the dial' in favour of working people and that is the path Starmer is pursing. Anyone who genuinely understands what that kind of change will entail knows it cannot happen; a) without a growing economy; b) a 'fair wind' from outside the UK; c) absolute commitment from the Labour MP's .
Starmer has to ensure all of the above, before any real change can be made, or in some cases attempted, and none of these are 'a given'.
Starmer does not have a magic wand, and those of the Labour persuasion who think he has, are living in a 'noddy land' and do the party no favours by underpinning the RW threats from the press and the Tories against Starmer.
Don't worry, he's going to fix that through Leveson 2. Only kidding he binned that miraculously just after going to one of Murdoch's parties
But he'd have to be truly deluded to think that delivering another four years of what we've had from his party so far will see their chances of winning the next election at anything but zero.
They need to make a difference now, and banging on about an "iron clad commitment to their fiscal rules" - as though people care more about them sticking to that than decisively changing course when presented with all the evidence that policy is doomed to failure and is setting us on the road to a downward spiral of recession and cuts to services - is political suicide.
It has given them cover from negative headlines for them to implement their transformational vision for the country.
What is going on in this country
The eye watering sum is £12 and the chancellor is saying she eats leftover lollipop sticks from her Tupperware box. How low does the bar have to be set?

Apparently poverty makes you a better politician. I can only assume the planned benefit cuts are designed to get more people into politics.
Badenoch is missing a trick. Boris would have had a donor pay for his holiday but I suppose not being in power any more, and no guarantee they will get it back, means they lack the influence to encourage donors to pay for that sort of stuff.

Private equity has their hands over everything. They're also buying up dentist clinics. In the US or Canada they're also buying up HVAC businesses.
We're doomed, ain't we.
Yup. Private equity needs to be banned.
Absolute state of this.
Hopefully one day this country will enjoy a surplus budget when the corrupt cnuts stop wetting their beak with taxpayer money whilst simultaneously doing everything they can to make sure none of their loot goes into the same pot they're stealing from.
I think it just needs to be taken from them, but you need a government with the guts to do it. The current system is just set up to redirect public money into private hands and force councils into bankruptcy. People are pissed off at the cost of their council tax bills and the quality of service they get, but this is the entire reason why.
private equity rinsing the taxpayer to provide less than decent care for some of the most disadvantaged children in the country has been well known for years.
23% average profit margins according to CMA. no one really gives a shit in government though, so nothing gets done.

Starmer is a hollowed out and deeply evil person.
Ahh he's gone full Wenger I see.
Too busy on his own anti-semitic watch looking out for pesky watermelon pins on student backpacks.
The cowardice and calumny is real.
The endless targeting of benefits claimants is really gross.

I saw this. Absolutely disgraceful. I’m fed up of them protecting corporations. Labour Party my arse.
Her argument doesn't even make sense. Putting money back into the hands of the public (i.e. consumers) who've been cheated by predatory loan shark companies is somehow bad for the economy? Is the tax payer footing the bill for the compensation like they do whenever they're forced to bail out banks, or when record bonus-paying energy companies need to raise prices at the expense of the customer?
There is nothing wrong with tacking benefit fraud (can't say I'm in favour of driving bans though, no idea what that achieves), it's one of the biggest costs to the state however it should one of many means to sort along with the PPE and other fraud which occurs.
It’s about fear mongering the public and putting people off going onto benefits in the first place. Basic New Labour/Tory type politics.
It makes sense once you understand that when they say 'economy', what they mean is the amount of money the people she knows can make. And she knows bankers, CEOs and Hedge Fund Managers.
Making reeves chancellor was like putting my cat chairman meow in charge of the International Space Station. Eventually, things are going to go very very wrong.
"Fight hatred in all it's forms". Unless it's against Palestinians of course.
And if anyone thinks I am being harsh on reeves and her mates, here's another of todays announcements. This, in fact, is a good one, but look what the idiots have to shoehorn intot his.
Growth. Fecking morons.
