Very kind :-)

Too kind!

Well the drafting committee was chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt… It was a different time - although we do appear to be heading back there quite rapidly. www.un.org/en/about-us/....

Gav, YOU are the best and should be followed by everyone! Thank you for being so kind!

The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights is a historical document. It cannot just be updated. Members of the UN could decide to issue a new declaration, but since the UNDHR a vast array of human rights conventions have been drafted and ratified.

AI is transforming classrooms. But no technology can replace the empathy, inspiration and critical thinking that teachers provide. See how UNESCO is working to support educators with the skills to teach how to use AI responsibly: www.unesco.org/en/articles/...

I’m less interested in whether Brexit was a “success” than whether, stood where we are now and facing forward, joining the EU represents a path to greater prosperity and security. If it does, the sooner we down that path the better.

Me: "I truly appreciate my feral friends." Um....autocorrect, I spelled real, not feral.

Rory: How do I watch the Rangers game dad? Me: 😳 🤷🏼‍♂️

Taking a slight break from Bluesky to focus on @mltdigital.bsky.social client work and family time in the evenings. Should be back on Friday for #ff recommendations for people who have kindly engaged with my posts over the past couple of weeks. Take care and have a good week ahead. ^G

My parents are researchers and wanted me to go into medicine. Is it petty for me to call out that what I’ve been working on made it to Nature before what they’re working on?

The man in the automated message on the Manchester Civil Justice Centre phone number genuinely sounds unhinged. It only gets worse the longer you listen. Just wait for the bit about bailiffs. Who approved this???

So is the current narrative really that the last Government was too cautious about AI, and not sufficiently pro-innovation? 🤔

Also relevant: "While hallucinations are reduced relative to general-purpose chatbots (GPT-4), we find that the AI research tools made by LexisNexis (Lexis+ AI) and Thomson Reuters (Westlaw AI-Assisted Research and Ask Practical Law AI) each hallucinate between 17% and 33% of the time."

This is why you don't design curricula around "jobs of the future". We can't predict the future but we do know what general skills and knowledge will be valuable whatever job you do.

Okay four blog posts published this weekend re #LemleysLaw, the #AyeGavel campaign, curing cancer and curing climate change. One of these might make a dent in the universe, just as Burns did 265 years ago from the same town I'm typing this. Time will tell #legacy #pathsaremadebywalking #codeispoetry

@markwelch.bsky.social thank you (I think) for adding me to your bias in AI list. Was trying to stay somewhat neutral on the subject last year but recent insights, experiments and invention have gotten the better of me. To provide balance, please follow more of @brianinkster.bsky.social’s pragmatism

P.S. my favourite lines from within - a tale of dogs who are impervious to the (sometimes) toxic masculinity of men:- When up they gat, an' shook their lugs, Rejoic'd they were na men, but dogs; An' each took aff his several way, Resolv'd to meet some ither day. #codeispoetry #poetryiscode ^G

@bradheath.bsky.social @marklemley.bsky.social The Twa Dugs? Happy Burns Night as I type this from the Land O'Burns in Ayrshire in Scotland. Best wishes for better times ahead. Gav 🐕⚖️ P.S. I recited this off by heart back in primary school www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/the-twa... #burnsnight

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion Has broken Nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion, Which makes thee startle, At me, thy poor, earth-born companion, An’ fellow-mortal! 239 years ago, Rabbie Burns wrote this, not far from where I’m typing this. Thoughts?
