On Friday (i) Brandi Carlile is releasing Returning to myself: sad gay version;(ii) Taylor Swift is releasing Life of a Showgirl: The Encore. Then I see Brandi on Saturday, & MUNA + The Beaches on Sunday at All Things Go. I may need people to temporarily stop talking to me about AI for 72 hours.

Talking about dinosaur films at lunch, reminded me that I spent a year volunteering for the Natural History Museum before I went to Oxford to begin my BA in geography …. because I was obsessed with volcanoes and rocks. How I ended up doing what I do now is sometimes a mystery even to me.

I have currently a very popular (by my standards) video on TikTok. This is entirely thanks to my sister-in-law and of absolutely no use or relevance to my life. But if you think I'm not using it as clout for my new Gen-Z students, you would be wrong.

The @bmj.com asked for my opinion on the single patient record as the NHS modernisation bill heads into its second reading. So here is my opinion www.bmj.com/content/393/... That the NHS needs better information continuity is undeniable, but the programme is also at risk of repeating past mistakes

💬 Getting the ick with chatbots? Our research in Nature shows that models trained to adopt a warm and friendly tone are more likely to make mistakes when answering your questions. Small changes in tone can undermine accuracy across architectures, particularly when users express vulnerability.

I have - and I quote - “an impressively bad strain” in my trapezius and I’m not allowed to stay up until 2am typing everyday. Apparently that’s bad for me. Who knew. So if people could avoid doing daft things with data or AI for the next week or so - I would really appreciate it.

New BMJ Editorial out today from @rocher.lc and me: www.bmj.com/content/393/... - Biobank's response to the news that researchers have accidentally uploaded data to GitHub multiple times is insufficient & risks trust in the UK's health data ecosystem.

Were I a LinkedInfluencer, I'd post about what moving apartments abroad, largely on my own, when the lift in my current building has been out of action for 3 weeks and I don't drive, has taught me about resilience and self-reliance ... but if I ever become that person, I'll put myself in the sea.

US service digitisation is utter chaos. The first flat I rented required an e-signed lease, but a security deposit paid by cheque (never written one in the UK - ever). Moving on Monday and I paid the deposit online, but had to print and hand in the lease IRL. Consistency? Never met her.
