The situation with school places for kids with additional needs in Ireland is a moral calamity. Parents who already have so much going on forced to do tons of assessments & applications, then insufficient home tutoring & suing HSE in high court when they can't get places. Shame on us

When a patient tells me about rape, trauma, abuse from a spouse or parent, criminal acts, legal status, abortions, sexual identity, etc., I can choose to enter that into a clinic note or I can use judgment to decide that doing so risks harm, offense, or privacy. AI scribes allow no such discretion.
How is digitally storing a blob of AI generated text a greater risk than storing notes a doctor or an assistant would take? Corporations use AI scribes in high level meetings routinely, wouldn't the precautions they take to protect their IP when using this tech also work for health care?

I keep forgetting that I want a machine to pollute my air and water while stealing from artists in order to mainstream lies and I'm so grateful the AI defenders are here to remind me!
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

This is outrageously propagandistic
When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

Looking forward to speaking at the History Research Seminar at Maynooth tomorrow. I'll be talking about 'the news' and how its disruptive qualities are anything but new. The context will be the British Empire, particularly Ireland and America. Very grateful to conveners for the invitation.
A great lineup for this semester's Department of History Research Seminar in Maynooth. This is open to all so do join us and please share widely.

Early indications looking very like I will be home with a sick child.

I continue to be surprised at how under the radar this is going, considering that it’s more consequential than a lot of the things that #spéirghorm gets worked up about.
There’ll be major handwringing on here if we get a “majority of parents support Church patronage of primary schools” result.

If you're in ireland and have kids in primary school or soon to be, please fill out this survey on preferences re religious involvement in schools, and whether people prefer single-sex or co-ed. It takes < 1 minute and will inform future provision. #speirgorm www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Please fill this in Irish parents!
For reference, the two schools closest to us are single-sex and Catholic ethos. If you prefer co-ed, or are at all unexcited about the prospect of separating a load of 4- and 5-year-olds from half their peers, do say so...

Do you definitely hope the unnamed recipient is well, though?
Maybe *well, but not very well*, at least.

strongly believe that if you don't appreciate the "quotative like" that you have never felt true joy because you've clearly never experienced an Irish woman telling you a dramatic story
A reminder that there are still a lot of people on this planet who could probably better use the large amount of time they have on their hands.
