Gymnastics is the Turing test of video generation models
As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
I’ve reported on a lot of terrible Tory ‘welfare reforms’ over the years but withholding sick people’s medicines to force them to get a job is genuinely a new low.
Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI): There are more breakthroughs required in order to get to AGI Cambridge Student: "To get to AGI, can we just keep min maxing language models, or is there another breakthrough that we haven't really found yet to get to AGI?" Sam Altman: "We need…
It is all so astonishingly pointless and debased and wasteful that it would probably be better not to spend too much time contemplating it; let us turn out attention to more pleasant things /end
🚀Pioneering collaboration provides an entirely new perspective on century of Tudor history! New book from @RuthAhnert and @sebastianahnert brings to light the complex power dynamics, the spy-craft, and the intrigues that defined the Tudor era (1509-1603). bit.ly/3Qok3aN
‘The New York Times analysed 1,200 contracts worth nearly $22bn and found that roughly half went to companies run by friends and associates of Conservative party politicians, or with no experience in that area.’ 1/n theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Our book, Tudor Networks of Power, is out today! My co-author @ruthahnert has written a thread on it. 👇
Mini-thread! It’s publication day for Tudor Networks of Power, which I co-wrote with @sebastianahnert We are really proud of this book, which brings methods from network science to the study of 130k early modern letters But it’s not just a book! global.oup.com/academic/produ… 1/8
My first PhD publication is out! Thanks to all the help from @sebastianahnert @Nora_S_Martin :)

The book I write with @sebastianahnert, Tudor Networks of Power, is coming out on 12 October! HMU if you'd like one of us to come and give a talk about how we used network analysis to understand the communications of the Tudor State. global.oup.com/academic/produ…
A disastrous night for the UK and its international reputation. All five votes lost, including on protections for children and on modern slavery. Shameful. We were finished by 1230am.
The UN have just released a statement about the govt’s migration bill passed last night… They call for the U.K. to reverse it, as it effectively treats those fleeing war and persecution as sub-human. Just when you thought this govt couldn’t sink any lower!
'Educated people won't vote for us' is a real admission
This is shocking. There used to be many routes into study for those who didn’t make the cut first time - cheap FE evening classes, extra-mural university departments, low cost Open University modules. What is *wrong* with these people?
The @FTC is investigating @OpenAI and the document outlining their questions is fascinating. 🧵Some highlights:
Fantastic thread on the NHS versus healthcare systems in other countries.
A thread for the ultra-wealthy. If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you. Here is why you are wrong… 🧵
Annual cost of helping 23,000 hugely wealthy families by abolishing inheritance tax: £7.1bn Annual cost of lifting 250,000 children out of poverty and reducing poverty for a further 850,000, by abolishing two child benefit cap: £1.3 billion. We have the wrong priorities.
🔥🔥🔥 “If I do a history degree and I end up working in a shop, does that make my history degree worthless? Or does that make working in a shop worthless?” That's got to be one of the most brutally unanswerable questions @susannareid100 has ever asked. Almost felt sorry for him.
'People should be getting higher & higher wages and that would be the definition of a good outcome [to a degree], right at the time when you're saying don't ask for higher wages because that's going to wreck the economy?' ＠susannareid100 asks the Education Minister how the Govt…
These graphs show the drop in real terms pay for NHS staff since March 2009 It’s a key reason we support the doctors strike and other NHS staff who fight for better working conditions Please RT if you do too We cannot keep relying of the goodwill of healthcare professionals
This weekend 65 years ago #AltheaGibson, the first Black woman to win @Wimbledon, retained her title. Althea repeatedly applied for membership of the #AllEnglandClub but, unlike other winners, was never accepted. Her Jewish doubles partner #AngelaBuxton faced a similar struggle
