Since Man City cheated over several seasons, they should face a sporting sanction over several seasons. Like a 60 point deduction this season, 40 the season after, 20 after that. It'd be great entertainment, which is the whole point, right?

With the recent news about AI it's worth noting that corporations are never anti-regulatory. They are instead pro a regulatory environment that enshrines and protects their interests. This, incidentally, explains a lot of the economic system we are living in.

For those at the back, PISA is not a "gold-standard" of education. It's a comparison of test results, a good chunk of which comprises multiple choice questions. Countries can do well on it by A) having a very test-centric approach to education B) excluding students from the (small) sample

This action by the chief of the Met seems entirely disproportionate. It being an open letter (on X), there being upcoming local elections, and it being focused on a retweet without comment, makes it seem - to my mind - motivated by partisan concerns www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The AI companies are currently burning money. To survive long term, the monetisation of AI is coming. It will likely be a combo of enshittification and escalating paywalls. So not only is this a bad pedagogical move it is likely a bad financial move too www.timeshighereducation.com/news/virtual...
