The Tories (CONservatives) and Deform are more concerned with protecting a $billionaires revenue stream than protecting children. How perverse is that?

Deform are on a downward spiral... vapid populists and sloganeers who promise anything and unable to deliver anything, their flagship councils disintegrating under the load of debt...that they created.

“The report warns that AI's echo chamber can stunt a child's emotional growth: ‘We learn empathy not when we are perfectly understood, but when we misunderstand and recover,’ one of the surveyed experts said.”🧪

“The report warns that AI's echo chamber can stunt a child's emotional growth: ‘We learn empathy not when we are perfectly understood, but when we misunderstand and recover,’ one of the surveyed experts said.”🧪
One of the many problems with kids' overuse of Al is that the technology is inherently sycophantic - it has been designed to reinforce users' beliefs. Winthrop says that if children are building social-emotional skills largely through interactions with chatbots that were designed to agree with them, "it becomes very uncomfortable to then be in an environment when somebody doesn't agree with you!" Winthrop offers an example of a child interacting with a chatbot, "complaining about your parents and saying, 'They want me to wash the dishes - this is so annoying. I hate my parents.' The chatbot will likely say, 'You're right. You're misunderstood. I'm so sorry. I understand you.' Versus a friend who would say, 'Dude, I wash the dishes all the time in my house. I don't know what you're complaining about. That's normal.' That right there is the problem."

Not just potential employers....A lot of charities are being bombarded by AI generated submissions... They try to weed these out and simply discard them.

It appears that employers are being flooded by chatbot-generated applications… so journals being hit but AI-generated manuscripts are no longer alone 🧐

Composite materials are used in aircraft and auto parts, wind turbine blades, you name it. They can last a few decades. Researchers have now created self-healing composites that last over a century. Less waste, less expensive to maintain.

Very, very cool. 🧪

Self-Healing Composite Can Make Airplane, Automobile and Spacecraft Components Last for Centuries
Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications – and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

Indeed. The Cybertruck was a very clear sign that the firm had lost its collective mind.

The Cybertruck is the answer to a question that no-one asked and will come to symbolise automotive hubris for decades.

The Edsel of our times.
1958 Edsel Pacer. The Edsel was Ford's biggest flop. Billed as the greatest thing on wheels, the cars were bad looking, badly built and sold badly. The Edsel debacle lost Ford $250m in 1950s dollars and is a classic business school case study of how not to do it.
