If you know a bit about a subject, AI can help you do stuff more quickly (but it will be vanilla flavour). If you know a lot about a subject, AI can get you to the next level. If you know naff all about a subject, AI will gloss your ignorance and take you down any rabbit hole you're tempted towards.
A must-read in #highered, esp. for those concerned about the erosion of collegial governance and the tilt towards expensive and unaccountable consultants instead: the New South Wales government's final report on university governance. files.parliament.nsw.gov.au/fileapi/Parl... #nspse #cdnpse

Good longread on how GLP-1s are affecting multiple sectors. I feel sorry for the guy in the photo who runs a ‘Big and Tall’ bespoke suit making business. He has both lost some of his ‘big’ customers but also been stung by giving a lifetime guarantee of free alterations! www.ft.com/content/2f16...

People on GLP-1s are spending their money differently. Some sectors will benefit, others must adapt or die

Good news for melanoma patients! The first ever mRNA vaccine to target cancer is in our near future. ~15 yrs ago, patients w/advanced melanoma survived for a few months. A successful Phase 3 clinical trial showed that intismeran reduced the risk of recurrence by 42%. 🧪 archive.today/pp6mX
Moderna mRNA vaccine almost halves the risk of skin cancer returning
Long-awaited results from phase III trial show huge benefits for treatment-resistant melanoma.

My mother donated her body to science. I really wasn’t prepared for what came next

One of the big findings in my research is that people invested in disbelieving victims are not swayed by evidence. Just like other issues of misinformation, they cherry pick irrelevant details to allow them to continue to believe whatever they want.
ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social · 6d agoYou know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The Covid Inquiry’s Module 6 report is devastating. Its central conclusion: adult social care was treated as “something of an afterthought”, while “protecting the NHS” sometimes came at the expense of people receiving and providing care. 1/10
