Two UoM mathematicians, Dr @cesaregardito.eu and Dr Igor Chernyavsky, have joined nearly 1,000 expert contributors worldwide to create a multidisciplinary academic test called “Humanity’s Last Exam” (HLE), setting AI systems a fresh challenge. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/u... #ai #turing

Nuovo webinar con il format ormai collaudato di una sinergia tra Comites, istituzioni e @settled.bsky.social per parlare di settled status, pre-settled status, conversioni automatiche, estensioni, revoche dello status, ricongiungimenti familiari, domande in ritardo, nascite e viaggi verso UK.

Hey Bluesky it's me again, your very active user. Home Office messed up again. This time, it's probably your account too! Can you help us raise the pressure, so they fix it?

Nuovo webinar con il format ormai collaudato di una sinergia tra Comites, istituzioni e @settled.bsky.social ... per parlare di ulteriori, stavolta grandi, cambiamenti per i cittadini dell'UE. See you there! www.facebook.com/events/60869...

Hi Bluesky friends there is a new AI Chatbot from Mistral called "Le Chat" that is very fast. Hope that smooths your workload! Til next time.

The first 40 tweets in my Bluesky feed (following!!) are about Musk. Just... post those on Twitter guys?

Merry Christmas! Next year you're all getting AI gadgets so enjoy this year's presents 🎁🛍

Just been targeted by Labour's new move. They revived some weird "Protect Britain's Communities" Reform copycat from 2023, with 27 followers, and they're spamming it in social media ads. Mala tempora currunt...

He’s got a harpoon, He’s about to set sail, He swears this time he’ll get that damned whale. Captain Ahab’s coming to town.

Will they manage a massive international communications effort to persuade airlines and other carriers that they must accept expired cards? What about people who weren’t issued cards when the printing presses were stopped over a month ago?

The Home Office started issuing cards with expiration date set to 31/12/2024, and stopped issuing them at all a few months ago, and now they're postponing the switch to eVisa with 28 days to go... citing entirely foreseeable reasons. This is chaos. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Aneddoto: a giugno ho incontrato studenti italiani di liceo in visita a Manchester. Non avevo abbastanza gadget per tutti, quindi ho fatto una gara: stimare il costo post-Brexit per frequentare un BSc in una data università. Tutti hanno sottostimato di £10000+ gazzettadiplomatica.it/gli-italiani...

This comic from Reddit documents a real thing. Great to see things like Marvel's Secret Invasion opening, CocaCola's Christmas ad, etc. - helps getting rid of the silly prejudices, and stops us wasting time making AI output look/feel like it's not AI output according to... vibes? Lead the way!

Actually hard to remember that likes are public on Bluesky.
