How do you justify £325 for a one-day virtual event?

Went to a Mary Poppins themed restaurant last night. Super cauliflower cheese but the lobster was atrocious.

I think they all buy into the hype that it is a tidalwave so they better start surfing. Locking LLMs into processes of learning, without any controlled evaluation space, is irresponsible. But then so is exporting the nuts and bolts of your national competitive advantage andbpaying for the privilege

Bev Gibbs @bevgibbs.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I can't believe so few people in the LinkedIn world see LLMs through the enshittification lens. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Well the sciences are falsifiable which - given a robust generation and review process 🙄 - makes them reliable and accepted in a way the (interpretative) social sciences never will or can be.

I was in Ireland last week and spoke to three different people who had recently, or were about to, hike the Camino. Place must have a longer line than Everest's peak 😅

With #EANCongress26 starting today, this compelling piece by @bevgibbs.bsky.social is brilliantly timely and a must-read for the whole HE sector, not just “canaries in the coal mine” in engineering. @epc.ac.uk wonkhe.com/blogs/are-we...

I was today years old when I realised that Bonfire Night celebrates the defeat of the Gunpowder Plot, rather than celebrating them having a go. (Still think this might be fake news from @theresthistory.bsky.social)

If you're applying for a job at Anthropic, they want to make sure you write the first draft of your resume and the answers to the job questions ON YOUR OWN (WITHOUT CLAUDE) FIRST.

I remarked last week that the government would never get the UK populuation to lock down again and that Id struggle to support it. Then somebody says the word ebola....

Really? More than the fact that every application you use now defaults to its AI version and that AI is making a good attempt at dominating the national imagination?

I was watching a history podcast last night and they had a PHOTO of someone who fought at Culloden. I was astonished.

In Meditations for Mortals, Oliver Burkeman says we try to curate what we read/absorb and its a hopeless task - he encourages us think of ourselves mid river with books and information passing by, and we will grab amd keep what we need, some will pass by completely. I found it a liberating thought!
