@jdpoc Whatever it sounds like to you, it is not AI. It is a mathematical modelling technique used by pollsters.
English
@two_truths “Synthetic respondents super population model” sounds pretty much like imaginative and manipulative use of AI to me.
English
Watch carefully for this in the future, it’s bound to be a scary trend.
Here’s a polling organisation using AI models to answer their own polls, based on information from 2024
Madness. Complete madness.

@ZoeJardiniere What they described isn't AI, it is just maths. John has misunderstood.

@Heccles94 Re: buses - SNP brought about legislation allowing councils to take over bus services.
That one should be a maybe, at least.
English
In a bizarre twist, due to prison populations, the UK government has decided to effectively decriminalise motorists killing people. Effective from today, motorists who kill people will not be given prison sentences (unless they are *proven* to have done so on purpose).
English
@premnsikka I see that Midcounties Co-op still hasn't learnt their lesson. They were first caught 10 years ago.
English
Despite laws 60,000 UK workers didn't get the minimum wage.

@Mariclara1128 I was asked to give an induction chat to a new admin.
Asked her where she was before. Uni; business. "Ah!", I said, knowing they underpay the admins & they have no route to progress.
Sure enough, she jumped ship after 1 year.

@two_truths Hahah nah the gaffer wasn’t in. He’d have been sound about it anyway once I’d told him, I think. If all goes according to plan, I won’t be there tooo much longer, and I think they’re aware of that 🥺
English
Today at work a customer told me I’m v “elegant” - how sweet! (Especially considering the pure state of me at work lol)
Another found it hilarious to tell all his pals I’ve handed my notice in, so all day I had folk “oh I hear you’re leaving!?” - Bastard!🤣
Swings & roundabouts
English
@Mariclara1128 I saw a personal email pop up on my manager's laptop once. It was from a recruitment agency.
He was an ass anyway, so that just meant I started looking forward to him leaving.
English
Since my pal has messaged about this and NOT understood it, in case anyone else who reads this is also a Dingle, I *haven’t* handed in my notice. He told folk I did cause he thought it’d be funny that I’d have to refute it. He was like “aye word gets around eh?” 😂
English
@STVNews * Minus income tax and national insurance, because MOD cannot invent new tax-free benefits in other countries.
** Closing big gap that does not currently exist, because, until September, both countries currently offer the same childcare provisions.
English
New military childcare scheme to close ‘big gap’ between Scotland and England.

John is right - households simply cannot afford another rise in bills.
That's why I've called on the PM to prevent prices rising above the April-June cap. It's vital the PM listens.
John Swinney@JohnSwinney
Energy bills are estimated to soar again by £332 from July. Households cannot afford to take another hit. I am calling on the Prime Minister to urgently convene a four nations emergency summit and freeze the price cap now.

@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where funding for Edinburgh's world class super computer was cancelled by the English PM because he is too thick to understand science is important too, not just AI?
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where Scottish and Welsh steel works and refineries cannot be saved but English steel works and refineries really must be saved?
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where the English dominated government told PPE suppliers to prioritise England over Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland?
And the English dominated government controlled Covid testing & stopped that testing in Scotland so they could fast track more tests for people in England?
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where the current English PM briefed his ministers to deliberately undermine Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland?
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where the English dominated government wanted to set fire to the coal gas under Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city? In an absurdly dangerous experiment that *might* have extracted natural gas.
Once the fire had been started, it could never have been extinguished.
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where the English dominated government controls most of funds "spent in or on behalf of Scotland"?
Emphasis on *on behalf of* because it includes building new nuclear power stations in England.
It even includes 1/10th debt interest on projects that benefited only England.
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where Faslane - which frequently leaks - is far too dangerous to be posted anywhere near any English port, so they posted it near Glasgow & 90% of Scotland's population instead?
The majority of Scotland's population being against nuclear weapons.
English
@NuWurldHoarder @_JC1971 Where households across Scotland have so far paid over £2000 extra in electricity bills since the cost of living crisis started, above the market value of of their electricity, simply to subsidise the electricity bills for people in South England?
