How adorable is @SamThompsonUK on Joe Marler will see you now podcast? I’d love to be his best mate. He seems to always focus on how other people feels.

@donasarkar I think people underestimate how much time these kind of prompts save. People are still thinking about ‘how can AI do this horrible 5 hour task for me completely’

I know so much of AI is nonsense hype, but honestly sometimes it can really be so useful. Today I am in talk prep mode for all my upcoming June events and I’m getting confused where I’m saying what so… 3 prompts I used in M365 Copilot Biz Chat: 1. Find me that special slide deck template for AI Tour Lausanne 2. Draft up a talk track for AI Tour Lausanne in my usual 4 sections: what’s going on with AI in the tech industry, what were the key Azure AI Foundry things from #MSBuild, what are 3 good demos I can show and HOMEWORK for a code-first dev audience. 3. What was that talk at EPPC I have with Will? Draft up some starter prompts based on similar “thoughts and prayers” talks I’ve given in the past. I got all these done in under an HOUR compared to spending the whole weekend slogging over these. Happy weekend friends! 😻

Did Graham Norton really just say that it’s a 50 min walk for the wheelchair user? #Eurovision

@AldiUK saw this photo online of a free from section in Aldi. Assuming that you’re trialling this so are you able to share a list of stores in the Milton Keynes area who are stocking this. Please roll this out nationwide and permanently. Coeliac disease is not a seasonal thing

@YVconcerts when will tickets for O2 on 5th February be available? Getting a bit nervous that I don’t have tickets.

Honestly @Apple what’s the point off reservation time if you still have to wait an hour to collect. I’d have thought after all this time you’d have this sorted.

I’m loving @stuartridout ‘s Art Of Prompting workshop at #AIHack4Fun: 1. Set a GCSE (Goal-Context-Source-Expectations) in your prompt 2. The average prompt is 6 words 3. An effective prompt is 25ish words 4. Or use chain of thought prompting (one after the other!)

@Shazna_Muzammil @TheParksTrust @adamfmk4 @HomesEngland To get to the access you need to walk along a road with no footpath. In dark months that is less safe. That access has been here way before the houses were built. the current noise and diggers is not good for wildlife either. Also it’s Kingsmead Spinney and not Nurses Wood.

@stuartridout @TheParksTrust @adamfmk4 @HomesEngland I understand Stuart. It is inconvenient. Park’s Trust has shared their reasons. There is access through the wood just not that particular bit.

@adamfmk4 @Shazna_Muzammil We do apologise that there wasn't advance notice given that these works were taking place. The dropped kerbs are the responsibility of @HomesEngland so we don't have a date that they plan to carry out these works.

@Shazna_Muzammil @TheParksTrust @adamfmk4 @HomesEngland It’s not the whole path but it is the part that connects Scarborough Gardens, Guildford Avenue and Carew Court. Now the kids have to walk along a road with no footpath to get to school, shops or to see friends.

@TheParksTrust @adamfmk4 @HomesEngland Just been to visit and met with the @TheParksTrust team. They are not ripping up the whole path but the little bit that connects to Scarborough Gardens to Nurse’s Wood. What a relief 😅 for a minute there I thought it was the whole path. 😊

@TheParksTrust You probably ought to communicate that PR story to your staff because the guy who phoned me today said it was because of insurance and liability as the pathway leads towards a private drive. Someone’s not telling the truth here!

@stuartridout Following advice from ecologists, the decision has been made to limit the number of through-paths to protect the valuable habitat which is home to many species of wildlife. Limiting the paths to those that are fully established will help keep zones of the woodland undisturbed.

Hi @TheParksTrust - why are you ripping up a path which is used by many residents of Kingsmead to access the shops, school and other houses. There is no good reason and these residents now have to walk on a road with no pathway instead. This is madness

@TheParksTrust hi, what's happening in Kingsmead Spinney please? There's a digger ripping up a perfectly good path, is this going to happen to other paths through the Spinney too? No one appears to have been consulted or informed. @Shazna_Muzammil 👀

@adamfmk4 @JackLauricourt There’s always one! 😉

@stuartridout @JackLauricourt You mean "Google it"?? 😁🤔

BIG QUESTION!! I'm having a debate with @JackLauricourt about when people stopped saying "Look it up" and started saying "Search it up" instead. Comment below whether you say "Look it up" or "Search it up" and your age (to the nearest 5 yrs)

My buddy @JackLauricourt and I are starting a podcast. We’d love a few sign-ups so our first episode isn’t to a zero audience. Spotify - podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/speak… Apple Podcasts - podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spe… Please share far and wide!
