Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere

This is brilliant news!

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Very enjoyable day so far at the Complete Careers celebration conference. Looking back to see how far we've come in the last few years as well as thinking about the challenges and positives for the future. Nice to catch up with some colleagues from Connexions days too. #careers

Heading home after a really great time at the bi-annual @careerswriters.bsky.social meeting today. Good to see everyone and hear all about what's happening in the careers sphere

Extract from the FT AI Shift newsletter: Another way of putting all of this is that the use of LLMs in job applications made the market much less meritocratic, with a 19 per cent fall in hiring for the most capable workers and a 14 per cent boost for the least capable. Oh, and the number of applications and length of cover letters roughly doubled, meaning more time needed to sift through less useful and often actively unhelpful submissions. Good job, everyone!

Sad to see that the curriculum review headed by Becky Francis decided that careers education, information and guidance were outside the terms of reference for the review.

It's so frustrating and short-sighted, Janet

Careers education needs to be part of the curriculum. Massive missed opportunity here - the learning of curriculum subjects starts to make sense for students when the content is linked to the skills and knowledge used in jobs and careers and real-world experiences.
