@s8mb Does it also tell you to brush your teeth and take a pee when you wake up?

If you give Claude Code access to your work calendar and Slack, you can pretty easily set it up to scan your calendar for tomorrow and tell you things like (a) where you need to be for your first appointment, (b) what you likely need to wear (tie/no tie, heavy coat/none), (c) any clashes you need to resolve, and (d) any documents you might need to read.

The full quote I gave Times Higher Education for this piece on @nathancofnas:
Those seeking to have the philosopher Nathan Cofnas dismissed from his position at Ghent University misunderstand both philosophy and academic freedom. Academic freedom exists precisely to protect contentious, controversial and offensive work. Even where conventional wisdom reflects the truth, it must remain open to criticism and debate; otherwise, living understanding becomes what John Stuart Mill called “dead dogma”. It is heartening that so many of the world’s most distinguished scientists and public intellectuals have signed this statement in support of Cofnas’s academic freedom of expression.

The labs should spend a lot more on economics, because "you will be obsolete and maybe killed or enslaved by our product" is the shittiest value proposition I can possibly imagine

Is OpenAI developing a core economics research team?

Breaking: Liverpool's victory over West Ham in the 1981 League Cup final has been overturned after a special tribunal judged (correctly) that Sammy Lee was offside for Liverpool's goal. Justice finally done. COYI.

Of all the many pointless & annoying train announcements, "please use all available doors on this train" is up there as the worst. What on earth are you supposed to do with this information in guiding door choice?

A much better idea is to get rid of railcards altogether and subsidise rail fares to all under 25s only. thetimes.com/uk/transport/a…

Excellent piece from @soniasodha on the government finding time to meet with Mridul Wadhwa but not @ForWomenScot
Sonia Sodha@soniasodha
Why is this government so useless on women's rights, and protecting single-sex spaces? On the one hand they welcome the Supreme Court judgment, on the other they are trying to thwart it. It's cynical, and insulting. comment.press/govt-womens-ri…

@redrumlisa @ThenItCame Your description of LSE professors suggests you didn't spend much time around any of them.
English
LSE Professor earning over 100k a year will have a very good pension pot - I worked at the LSE their Professors never leave the Academic/Political bubble & I mean never. Thinks a 70 year old man in Stoke on Trent who has worked on a building site since he was 16 shouldn't have £12,500 a year to live on.

The UK triple lock is the singlest stupidest policy in the entire Western world, and the most damaging to the future of a country. Of course, it is also untouchable and almost undiscussed in the UK press. @mattyglesias does a big favour to the UK public here.

@andywigmore @Nigel_Farage @ZiaYusufUK @YouGov Why do you think YouGov would want to suppress Reform’s vote share brains?

I am pleased that @YouGov have backed down and will follow British Polling Council rules.
We can now see the full extent of how they manipulate their data to suppress Reform.

If overseas student fees are subsidising home students then their fee level cannot be the 'true' cost of their education.
Lisa Mckenzie@redrumlisa
If Starmer does this it will be the final nail in the Higher Education coffin - UK students pay £9,500 a year & that is subsidised the reason overseas students pay a higher rate is because they are paying the true cost.

Must be bloody hard working in the same sport section at the Guardian as Jonathan Liew. The writer who wants to see men win all competitions in women's sport.

I love AI because it hallucinates, the algorithms are biased and it uses loads of water.

@redrumlisa @ThenItCame Was it an academic job you had at LSE?
English
@ThenItCame So your argument is pensioners should be poor? And living in poverty. I've seen pensioners in poverty throughout the 70s & 80s we should never go back to that again.

I mean, you really cannot award a penalty tell the team they have a penalty advantage and then change your mind and make it a scrum advantage. Just one of several huge errors in an abysmal performance.
Ben Coles@bencoles_
Steve Borthwick afterwards mentioned the confusion around this knock-on. Fin Smith kicked the ball away, having been told England had a penalty advantage, right as Nika Amashukeli said it was just a knock-on (after a call from the TMO) and that advantage was over. Led to Bielle-Biarrey's fourth (!) try. "I think that World Rugby needs to look at that kind of situation. You can't have the players playing with certain knowledge and then it taken away from them."

I have zero hope that either West Ham or England will get anything other than pasted tonight. Zero.

How on earth do the BBC know the scores already?!

@stephenpollard this is a very disappointing outcome for West Ham. Our sleeper agent has blown his cover.

My heart goes out to Kinsky. Tudor has just destroyed his career. The man is an arrogant maniac utterly out of his depth.
He needs to be removed tonight.

@daisychristo I was there too, great night and good atmosphere despite not being capacity. Just goes to show, while the ground isn't perfect, it's fine when we're playing well and winning football matches.

Absolutely EPIC night at the London Stadium yesterday.
Best match & atmosphere for ages.
