This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Friends, using gen AI to create user personas is a *really* awful idea. 🚩☹️🚩 This suggestion comes from the AI Knowledge Hub prompt library on GOV .uk. Here's the problem: AI is designed to give you back only what you already know. It will generate what it thinks you want to hear.
a section of an HTML page showing the text:

Persona-Based User Stories
Develops user stories tailored to different personas based on their goals and challenges

User Research - Stakeholder Engagement - Project Planning
Usage notes
This prompt is intended to support early thinking and ideation. Use it as a companion to spark discussions. It is not a substitute for user research. Always validate insights through real engagement with users.
The prompt
Copy prompt
Project Overview: [BRIEF, 1-2 SENTENCE SUMMARY OF YOUR PROJECT] 

Personas: [PROVIDE PERSONAS]

Instructions: Using the provided personas, create a set of user stories that will guide the development of this project. 

User Story Format: As a <type of user>, I want to <feature/function> so that <reason/benefit>. 

INVEST Criteria: 

Independent: User stories should be independent of each other. 
Negotiable: The specific details of a user story can be negotiated. 12 equity and justice questions about AI

These questions help teams think through and talk about the consequences of using AI.

This will help mitigate possible harms, consider hidden effects and check in against organisational values.

So it turns out parts of DWP still tell people to go to the Directgov website in their letters

So if I've understood correctly, more people have lost their jobs after attending a Coldplay concert, than Post Office senior managers who have lost their jobs as a result of their involvement in the Horizon IT scandal (0)

Something that gets (understandably) overlooked about the 7/7 London attacks is the digital aspect. The immediate aftermath was the first real resilience test for TfL and the Met Police's websites, as people flocked there for updates. TfL site went from 100k uniques to 2.5 MILLION in minutes. /1

The loud drumbeat that companies should "embrace AI now or be left behind" has more in common with high-pressure sales techniques than biz strategy. And that's fine - tech firms have something to sell. But the rest of us needn’t confuse it with anything more profound. www.ft.com/content/4688...

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

every now and again I remember that thirty years ago britain and france built the longest underwater tunnel in the world, still not beaten, and the thing that limits how many people we can shove through it is the tiny cellar underneath the train station that we use for security theatre

On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, Lessons for Gaza
Armenians know from experience that genocide is a process, not an event, and they have lessons for those fighting for peace in Gaza.

The govt could make a start by addressing how hilariously inaccessible the whole disability benefits system is - reliant on forms you can only fill out by hand (!) and helplines which need use of keypad/voice commands

Very much pondering how it is that White Britons are 'expats' yet Black and Brown people are always 'immigrants' often with a derogatory adjective before it
