Are you teaching technology ethics this fall? Or are you a student taking a class on the topic? Then you might find the 10-episode podcast series "This is Technology Ethics" by @JohnDanaher and me helpful. Based on my book with the same name: technologyethicspod.wordpres… #aiethics

As a final point, if you really think the SNP are doing a bad job of governing at Holyrood, the thing to do is to vote them out in 2026, not to give Ian Murray an increase in his pocket money.

Do they mean the traffic island?
Cheers in Blackpool as two men raise British and English flags on a roundabout shouting “England til I die” and “Take the island back”. Things here remain peaceful but tense.

Court finds govt cannot be compelled to use AI to save time, cos "an expert would be required to explain ...the sources ....and the methodology that they applied." -> "little weight" to be given to them. Well, tell that to Tony Blair! 😝 lexology.com/library/detail.…

I once had a trainer who explained to me that there were 'runners' and 'people who run.' I never kidded myself about which I was, but Olympic runners are basically a different species. Do not try this at home!

WTF? "A pro-British march." Either the BBC are being a mixture of lazy & deeply reactionary; or they are trying to subvert Britishness by making it synonymous with the far-right.

Bristol standing firm against the knuckle-draggers. ❤️
Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting ‘We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?’ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel

Idea to improve the garbage quality of X debate: an anti-polarization prize. 10 points for admitting you changed your mind on the basis of evidence or argument. -5 for obvious "badge-kissing" Tweets in front of the home fans. Winner has most points at end of year.
