Santa's sidekick? Or main character? He looks like he has "main character energy"...

Someone's just thrown a bottle of Omega 3 tablets at me. I only received super fish oil injuries, but still.

It's so quick and clever though that combined with my hearing issues I DEFINITELY needed those subtitles at first

Hamilton is a fab family watch if you have Disney+ and don't mind your child being exposed to swearing and brief references to sensitive topics in the opening number (rest of the first half at least is generally pure fun though)

Yeah apparently she was going for a #LinManuelMiranda -esque "Hamilton Rap"

2/2 The green feathery mass rose in the man's periphery, his breath catching as the DuoLife owl loomed towards him, eyes gleaming with judgement.

β€œThis year you made 184,937,382 mistakes.”

This is what he had signed up for.

1/2 - NYE. The man lay in bed, beads of sweat forming as the clock ticked closer to midnight, marching towards the inevitable. Cheers of "Happy New Year!" echoed outside. This was soon drowned out by a whooshing sound as the ground swallowed itself to his right. Then it came...

Ha I'd be OK with that as use it daily for work. Ours is set in Classcharts app which is actually a really good app but the assignment often links off to other sites where the work itself is set. Benefit of digital is I can see what she's been set on the parents app and remind her.

Spent ages puzzling over a question that had stumped my 11-year-old in her maths homework, only to discover the problem hadn't loaded properly! A quick refresh of the page revealed the missing parts of the problem. The joys (and perils) of online homework! #Parenting #Homework #Maths #Math #EduSky

It's a nice feel-good easy-watch show. Between this show and Only Murders ITB, OAP sleuths are really having their time to shine...

Looks like us #LearningAndDevelopment folk don't need to worry about AI taking over our jobs...just 7yo prodigies πŸ˜†

Recently pulled together a feed of all Learning and Development (L&D) chat if anyone in that space is interested.

My daughter had a nasty cough and throat ache recently and we found these herbal lollipops pretty good. Got them on Amazon UK.

The lawfirm I was at previously have apparently blocked ChatGPT and developed their own internal AI LLM. It’s built on GPT tech but ring-fenced for privacy.

At my finance company, Cybersec experts vet any solutions that would involve sharing company data. We're allowed ChatGPT after training and promising to anonymise input, while Copilot (local Microsoft) is being tested. I tried NotebookLM with a PDF of public info from online as a safe test for fun 😊

I can imagine in the near future we would be able to choose your "actor" voices, their language, include more than 2 hosts to generate a virtual panel with differing points of view, and edit text script with prompts to tweak what they say and the tone they use when they say it.

I tried NotebookLM earlier. It took a dense, dry technical PDF about updates to tax law and used AI to generate a fairly believable, engaging discussion between two AI "actors". They managed to bring what was a really dull topic (sorry tax friends!) to life.

I think we all aim for that, but the challenge is L&D teams are often expected to stay tiny while managing high volumes of diverse demands. Stakeholders expect advanced expertise, leaving us like firefighters tackling the biggest blazes with less strategy and thought than we would like.

I bring my electric blanket to my desk! Coffee and toilet trips are a bit of a shock to the system but otherwise it works for me 🀭
