Ooh, thanks for sharing. This looks like a potential improvement in getting to the Gyle. Now if only there was a good segregated cycle path running *through* Edinburgh Park and the Gyle to actually get you to your office!

Nice new connection from the shared route through Ed College campus through onto the shared path running to Edinburgh Park. Big improvement for getting along to Hermiston Gate safely. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike #westedinburghlink

An analysis by @fullfact.org has shown that AI chatbots based on LLMs made dozens of major errors when asked about false claims circulating online. Conclusion: LLMs cannot be relied upon as a foolproof way to fact check claims, especially in breaking news situations. fullfact.org/technology/f...

Full Fact analysis shows AI chatbots spouting misinformation about AI-generated images, wars and royal fall outs – Full Fact

Multiple models gave us misinformation when we asked about fake content and false claims circulating online, both before and after we wrote about them.

The community noticeboard is one of my favourite things. Today has info about BANZAI's screening of the People's Emergency briefing (Friday) and an exhibit on prison nursing at the RCN (today). There's also a link to the lovely roundup of wildlife on the Water of Leith.

I've made it to Irkutsk and am loving this book. It was great to see Jacek Dukaj and Ursula Phillips together at the Edinburgh Int Book Fest because this is a pretty monumental feat of translation.

The cover of Ice by Jacek Dukaj. It's monochrome, with the word ICE vertically centred and has lots of wavy lines. The overall effect is visual movement.
