Every day we have to be reminded that the UK has the most abjectly feudal, let-them-eat-cake-ass media on the planet.
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

With all the rancor over file drawers and selective publishing it astounds me that journals and the scientific community are consistently comfortable with social media companies having troves of data indicating harms and then occasionally putting out papers to the contrary.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

I also note what they found: that the LLM can rehash, summarize, stuff that's already been written.
It cannot interpret. It can't put the correct context around the work.

In this podcast short, a strange twist of legal taxonomy causes a dispute over whether X-MEN action figures are toys or dolls and sparks a court case about what it means to be human.
