Definitely a case of #ChatGPT pandering to its audience! Is this a hallucination?

With all the problems in the middle East, #MalaysianAirlines is taking a fairly Northern route to the get to the UK. For those flying to #Australia, best use an airline which can take such routes rather than try and do any kind of stopover in the Middle East.

Great to see new leadership at #Microsoft See the article here: readysetcompute.com/ashasharma/

I can't believe that you can make #Hollywood quality short animations these days to advertise my #OpenSource game! www.youtube.com/shorts/wMZca... You can play the game at: jamesabela.github.io/binarydmz/

Added touch support for manipulative. So teachers can use iPads or Android jamesabela.github.io/icemaze/ let me know how you get on.

Ice Maze makes sentence building visual and playful using Colourful Semantics (Who, What doing, What, Where, How, When). Great for early writers and EAL learners. jamesabela.github.io/icemaze/

I'm a little bit surprised at how little I use my #Macbook #GPU during day to day life. I normally get nearly a full day's battery life out of it, but now when using a local #LLM that drains to about 2 hours. Shows how hard they are on GPUs.

I got a crazy idea, why not take the group photos at the beginning of the conference? When everyone is fresh!

#Netflix just discovered leaving soon also applies to #games too! Why does this feel like a gut punch and why am I surprised???

Too often we talk of vast numbers and greedy #AI servers, but how much electricity is needed for a #gpt query? readysetcompute.com/aienergy/

Incredible to see the reuse of all these bottles to celebrate #Deepavali Going to be a big celebration! Truly light conquering dark!

With all the noise around #GPT5, this Tom’s Hardware piece comparing it to the old model is a breath of fresh perspective. Sometimes side-by-side is the only way to cut through the hype. www.tomsguide.com/ai...

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? I don't know why that title came to mind, perhaps Doug Johnson's post, "Why be afraid of AI?" coaxed it out of me. With the launch of ChatGPT 5, the not-quite AGI, I find myself re-reading Doug's points: I suppose I should keep a closer eye on the developments…

I get asked about power banks a lot. 10,000 mah is what you can take worry free on a plane and I would recommend 2 x 5000 over 1 x 10,000 unless it’s an amazing deal coz it’s double the weight and more space in pocket / handbag.

So everyone had their fill of #GPT wrappers? In this video I show you how you can make your own that will be much safer than many third party attempts. #AI #Esafety Teachers need to take back control! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMKr... #EDUSky

When leadership come back from holiday they're coming for the techies! I've lived through this in real life and I want to share my experience of a community pulled apart by a murderer. readysetcompute.com/adolescencen...

Here is a simple money saving tip: Don't even think of buy a full-price game until you've cleared your backlog... Full price, is worst price! Buying later saves #cash and often gives you a better experience. Bought #Starwars outlaws half price and bugs fixed. #CheapGamer

Cute or #privacy nightmare? To stop data going into training, find the settings and switch off "Improve the model for everyone". If you post it on a socials they then get that info and its now much easier to read images thanks to #AI that can scrape through the site. #DigitalCitizenship #edusky

With #vibe #coding being the hot topic and even #Canva getting in on it, I wonder how that can lead to real understanding, is it a gateway? #edusky

With all the fear around #AI and the future of #Teaching, an unlikely champion of #HumanIntelligence has emerged! The games industry knows machines best — #educators should listen. 👇 readysetcompute.com/gtaai/ #EduSky
