Over annual leave, I updated my demo Open Badge generator to support the Open Badges 3.0 standard. It's exciting to watch Open Badges move from niche interest to a widely recognised standard in verifiable credentials. badges.dgty.uk

Cloudflare has gone for lunch. I've never seen this happen before.

When is it appropriate to wear a Christmas jumper? That's the conversation we're having in the Stewart household right now.

It’s all go at Riverside Recycling Centre in Dundee this afternoon. Something is on fire and dealing with it does not look like a fun job.

I’m visiting the UK’s National Robotarium today and have no idea what to expect. Other than robots, AI and data science. Never knew we had something like this, so it’s going to be an interesting day - thenationalrobotarium.com

@aquariusacquah More like ASI at that point.

if openai's operator can navigate the aws console autonomously i'll know agi has been achieved

First time I’ve seen this used outside of a drill.

@DominikDiamond Isn’t this how the film Return of the Living Dead started?

Jeez. Already into day 2 of a Boil Water Advisory on one side of the bridge… now having some kind of Supervillain Origin Story on the other…

1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help

Working on a personal #OpenBadges project - building a backpack (digital portfolio for storing and managing badges). Making progress, but still need to figure out AI summarisation and get my head around the Open Badges 3.0 spec.

I’d encourage and learning and people development folks to take part in @DonaldHTaylor ‘s survey below; it helps provide great insights on priorities in organisational learning.

I've been using Open Badges in workplace learning since 2014 and here's why I believe they're beneficial for modern L&D: buff.ly/3ZpUknO #OpenBadges #LearningAndDevelopment

Just received this in the mail. A brand new remake of the ZX Spectrum. I learned to program on the ZX +2 which came a bit later and had a usable keyboard, but the original Spectrum was perfect for games.

This week's Sunday film in the Stewart household is a return to an old classic. Last week's was 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' which was quite an emotional journey. What is everyone else doing today?

Question for my #LearningAndDevelopment colleagues: How are you handling AI use in reflective writing? Outright banned, or allowed for proofreading/structure? Here's how we're navigating it at SSSC MyLearning - would love to hear others' approaches! buff.ly/4fVjwId

Frosty today - first salt of the winter put down on the garden stairs and path. Didn't plan on acquiring a living scarf, but the cat has decided my shoulders belong to it now. Clearly a protest against the thermostat settings.

@treigys_ @klear2000 @AnthropicAI I'm back in now.

@klear2000 @AnthropicAI Looks like they know the issue

Is @AnthropicAI claude ai down?

@treigys_ @AnthropicAI Yes. Went down for me a few minutes ago.

@elearnindustry Much like an SME. I've worked with plenty who have given wrong and outdated information. Proper testing and quality assurance picks this up.

Is AI hallucinating? Instances where AI produces completely fabricated content mean that we can't trust it blindly. However, it doesn't mean that we should drop it altogether. ow.ly/BIp750TFsy7 #AI #artificialintelligence #AIhallucinating #genai
