Great family day at the @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Festival of AI! Children tried a mini turing test, choosing one word to prove they are human. Of course skibidi appeared!

The only 'Blue Monday' article you'll ever need theneuroscienceofeve... It's #BlueMonday again. And this is all you'll ever need to read to know the 'truth' about it Which is that it's a ridiculous marketing stunt that got way out of hand and impacted me more than most people

The only 'Blue Monday' article you'll ever need It's Bluc Monday again. Except is isn't. Because the third Monday i January is NOT the 'most depressing day of the year . Neve has been. And i'm weary of sayin that.
