Dr Christopher Rudge, law lecturer at the University of Sydney, says the report that Deloitte prepared for Australia's Department of Employment and Workplace Relations contained “hallucinations” because of an initially undisclosed use of generative AI. Now the government is getting its money back.

Life satisfaction mostly declines with age. Previous findings (esp. the famous U-shaped age-SWB trajectory) were artifacts of misspecified models. doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

Neidle seems to say the ST story on Starmer is rather weak.

When Keir Starmer gave a field to his parents, he used a "life interest trust". This meant that, as its value grew from £20k to £300k, it was outside their inheritance tax estate.

How did this work? And was it tax avoidance?

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds

After Wellcome changed their #openaccess policy in 2021, they saw that publishers modify their workflows to detect WT funded papers and closed certain routes to publication. They also gave exceptions to "prestigious" authors while ECRs were not given the same opportunities 🤯 #OASPA2025
