IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

This vision of the Tory Party no-longer exists. It barely exists in the Labour Party. Where is the case for 'profit for a purpose'? Where is the implacable opposition to inequality in the two old parties? It will be the task of the 'minor parties' in the years ahead to reassemble this perspective.

A good read from the Raspberry Pi Foundation about why we should teach kids to program, even as AI tools appear to make that skill unnecessary.

A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime.
Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river.
We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW.

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

A really good reason not to choose Café Nero is the lack of respect they have for people who want coffee but not caffeine. The decaf is pre-ground and open to the air, and stale as a result. We saw this in a couple of their branches, but didn't order any decaf after the first one.

Streets that work for disabled people work better for everyone.
Decluttering our streets makes our communities safer, easier to navigate and more welcoming. And we can all play a role in making that happen.
If you could change one thing about your local streets, what would it be?

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

🧵 History lessons are important. UK schools now teach how Hitler came to not just rule but to cow the citizens of Germany into terrified submission. Unfortunately, older Brits just got the headlines, or were bored to tears by the perceived irrelevance of the Repeal of the Corn Laws, etc. 🧵1.

My least favourite thing about the knife attack on a train is the inevitable increase in surveillance and restriction of freedoms due to an increase in security theatre.
