Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Boss of a small regional office decided that he liked the idea of everyone staying an extra 10 mins after their shifts to fill in an online form listing five things they did that day. He changed his mind very quickly after just one email from Unite the Union. Join a union.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

Microsoft acknowledge that ChatGPT and other generative #AI is likely to make people less able use critical skills, and more reliant on trusting whatever they are served up by GenAI www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...
7 Conclusion
We surveyed 319 knowledge workers who use GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) at work at least once per week, to model how they enact critical thinking when using GenAI tools, and how GenAI affects their perceived effort of thinking critically. Analysing 936 real-world GenAI tool use examples our participants shared, we find that knowledge workers engage in critical thinking primarily to ensure the quality of their work, e.g. by verifying outputs against external sources. Moreover, while GenAl can improve worker effi-ciency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI's ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort.
When using GenAl tools, the effort invested in critical thinking shifts from information gathering to information verification; from problem-solving to Al response integration; and from task execution to task stewardship. Knowledge workers face new challenges in critical thinking as they incorporate GenAl into their knowledge workflows. To that end, our work suggests that GenAl tools need to be designed to support knowledge workers' critical thinking by addressing their awareness, motivation, and ability barriers.

Thousands of people in the UK are on benefits because instead of paying a living wage the company they work for shells out £millions to shareholders & executives who donate to political parties to keep subsidising their greed while governments then blame people on benefits for their own corruption
