Maybe this is the sort of thing they should mention in military training? Cybersecurity seems quite important these days…

I guess @RoboNature didn’t make it in Vegas after all, and wound up waiting tables in Cupertino. Bad luck, robot buddy.

A robot couldn't stop dancing at a HaiDiLao Hotpot restaurant in Cupertino, California, sending food and chopsticks flying despite the best efforts of three staff members.

@DrMatthewSweet Yes! At the end of my Film/Drama degree we had a “synoptic paper” exam, in which we were supposed to bring together what we’d learned.
Got the movie and play text a fortnight before - it was Jaws/An Enemy Of The People.

@AtticumFloreat What's a rotational dietician? Do they work in those Japanese restaurants with food on conveyor belts?

Leaving aside the chutzpah, what slightly surprised me about this is that the Trust only interviewed one person for a Band 6 Rotational Dietitian role. Is that normal?

There’s my weekend reading:
Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex
The UK government released its progress report on AI & copyright today. The good news for creatives is that the government formally dropped its preferred option of a broad copyright exception with an opt-out. This was unworkable and hugely unpopular. It's good that they've recognised this. The bad news is that weakening copyright law is very much still on the table. They haven't actually ruled out that hugely unpopular opt-out proposal, and they are explicit that they are still considering other forms of copyright exception too. We are obviously in a better position than we were eighteen months ago, when the government was clearly in the pocket of big tech and was actively proposing an extremely harmful policy. Credit should go to the many, many creatives who fought that proposal, and to the new leadership at DSIT for listening. But it's important not to see this as more of a win than it really is. The government is still considering weakening copyright law to favour AI companies, and those AI companies will continue to lobby very hard for them to do so. Until the government rules out weakening copyright law, people need to keep making their voices heard. Our work is not the government's to give away. Speaking up works.
