You should read up on non verbal communication. As an older boomer, I am perfectly happy with working from home and a catch up on zoom/teams/slack with my team 99% of the time, and very much against return to office. But sometimes I do need face to face communication with team members I’m concerned about, or with customers.

Anecdotal of course, but while looking to downsize, we have seen many houses empty for 6+ months due to probate delays, and houses I would not buy for a pound due to the amount of work needed. So not sure how meaningful these stats are.

Not a word on what it is or how it works. Marketing hype most likely.

I don’t disagree, but it’s probably not that easy. Universities in my country don’t have the resources anymore to do many orals, and depending on the subject exams don’t test the same skills as coursework.

Build a wall around the US. We’ll pay, the amount of stupidity leaking out is problematic. (Apologies to the sensible and nice people that live there)

It’s not just the internet. For example, students are handing in essays straight from ChatGPT. Uni scanners flag it and the students may fail. But there is no good evidence either side, the uni side detection is unreliable (and unlikely to improve on false positives, or negatives for that matter) and it’s hard for the student to prove they did not use an LLM. Job seekers send in LLM generated letters. Consultants probably give LLM based reports to clients. We’re doomed.

Take my upvote for archive link as the main link and the original paywalled one in the small print. I like it

You are mother? U r not making yourself very clear here

Thanks. Just edited my post to include a link, then found your contribution.

If true, they deserve a consumer boycott. But it’s almost impossible to stop buying Unilever products, the list is endless. List of brands

Ok, i’ll bite. I don’t value the bot (in part because it rates sites/newspapers and not authors or articles. Good news sites have the occasional shit article and vice versa), so please reduce the precious space it takes up on my mobile device. A one liner with a link would be enough.

Shit. I forgot about that nutcase

I hope they pick Badenoch, she has a better chance of making the party utterly unelectable.

Something should be done about it, and as I mentioned elsewhere, the French supermarket chain putting stickers on shelves to warn consumers is one thing that can be done, as is mandatory unit prices (common where I live). And those things would be newsworthy. An ‘attempt to get to the bottom of it’ is just hot air

It’s awful, but it has been going on for decades.

Unit pricing helps. A French supermarket also puts shrinkflation warning stickers on shelves where packaging size changed but price has not, that too should be mandatory

Thank you. Anyone else having problems with archive.ph links not loading lately?

Good. Who is next?
