Recent AI developments and statements from experts about the potential risks that developing superintelligent AI could pose to humanity genuinely terrify me. If you're in the UK and worried by the direction of travel, then sign and share this petition.https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/760674

When the quality of commissioned artworks matches the quality of the writing- Check out some of the paintings that accompany @michaeldoron.bsky.social and Jonnie Grande's chapters in #changinghistoriesKS3 Fragile Worlds. Wow!😍 There's plenty more to enjoy so do grab a copy (or more) once it's out!

This short thread by Cat Priggs made me think: History planning is about tying things together into a shape, a flow – usually a story & often a parallel flow of the analytic direction created by the EQ. It isn't about breaking things up into propositions and it's rarely about teaching a procedure.
