[1 of 10 - AI for the Policy Guy?] Spent yesterday applying @OpenAI's ChatGPT to bits of my previous policy work in the charity sector, Government, and Parliament. Output highlighted blue. Thread with (impressive looking) examples and initial thoughts. openai.com/blog/chatgpt/

People often mock Fife (Kingdom of) but I ask you, where else could you buy Thunderpants on DVD for £1 from a wool shop on a deer farm so close to Christmas? #Fife4Life

Pleasure to speak at this event and to fly the policy flag! Superb initiative by the @BiochemSoc. Struck by attendees' engagement, insightful questions, and ability to look up from their Western blots (also learned a lot from the other speakers!)

Last week we successfully hosted our Careers Beyond Academia: Roundtable event for early career researchers. Representatives from various scientific sectors shared their inspiring non-academic career journeys and experiences. Attendees made connections helpful to their careers.

PEACE PLUS funding welcome for Northern Ireland, but further clarity required from the Government says Protocol Sub-Committee in report published today on the PEACE PLUS Programme 2021–2027: committees.parliament.uk/committee/520/… 1/4

@Oliver_BM_ Nice piece, well set out. Did a similar (but lazier!) bit of exploration a few weeks ago, applying ChatGPT to real-world Government / Parliamentary work: twitter.com/Ross_Coron/sta… Agree with your final point re. public affairs adoption due to incentivisation.

@travelling_wolf @LordNortonLouth ...I have never been tempted to purchase Twitter Blue (with its edit functionality)... until this moment! Let's pretend I'm talking about a far more exclusive *1912* Committee!

@16Sunsets @Kevin_Fong Looking forward to this. Massive fan of 13 Minutes (recommended it to several non-Brits during a recent tour of @NASA_Johnson!) - the narration, sound design, et al. Have come to love the Shuttle in recent years. Seeing it in person - in all its bricky glory - certainly helped!

The worst thing about Elon Musk taking over twitter is half of what I see is people discussing twitter. It’s becoming as self referential as the BBC.

I hear Dixie and Cranky are in the Mario movie. Seeing as I made the first versions of these back in the mid 90's I'm claiming this as my characters in a mainstream movie and you can't stop me

I made a thing! 💻 'Parlio' provides the real-time status of Parliament and allows users to search, view, bookmark, and set PQ alerts. Submitted as my @CS50 final project; written in Python, JavaScript, etc; utilises @ParliDigital / @UKParliament's API. youtu.be/p1dJaElP5GQ

@carolvorders Neutral on this - feels multi-factorial. Approach however not very robust.. Lists of MPs’ handles exist. Perhaps better to feed into a simple script, strip bio text, then search for mentions (and absences) of political affiliation. Could compare with other parties.

I WANT YOUR HELP I've noticed a number of Tory MP & councillors removing mention of them being Tories from their social media profiles. I'd like to collate them and do some statistical work on this (you know I like numbers!) CAN YOU SCREENSHOT ANY YOU FIND AND POST HERE? 🙏🏼
