"Protests may need to be stopped in some cases, PM suggests"
This is about Pro-Palestine protests in the aftermath of the stabbing of 2 Jewish men a few days ago.
Note: it's not being widely publicised, but the attacker stabbed a 3rd man - a Muslim - as well, earlier in the day.

Clearly I'm not the first person to make this observation, but there's a very odd thing about being a person in the their late 40s, where I grew up being the "kid who programmed the VCR"
My elders don't know how to use Excel (etc). Neither do my younger colleagues, which leaves me in the odd position of "how the bloody hell did you do that?" after I've, like, done a vlookup.
Bonus is that I can do 2 minutes of work, then go and spend 50 minutes in the kitchen (I'm WFH), occasionally wiggle my mouse (oor-er!) just in case, and they'll assume that what I've just sent them was an hour of solid hardcore work.
I am not in a mind, right now, to correct them.

My partner is away for a week on a very well-deserved break with a friend.
As always, it makes me realise just how much they do, and that I possibly take for granted.
I *am* on top of keeping the kitchen clean, doing the laundry and so on and so forth, but it's been very hard work for me.
They do a lot of this when I've gone to bed (we have hugely different sleeping schedules), so a lot of the time, I just come down at 6am and the kitchen has magically cleaned itself, the dishwasher is magically clean and just needs emptying, and my coffee is magically ground and cold-brewed. The laundry often hangs itself by magic as well.
We split the chores in something that feels equitable due to varying skillsets/responsibilities etc, but honestly - it can never hurt to notice and say thank you for the things that the other one does.

Serious ask:
I need a crash-course in AI.
Context: my line manager has been asked to evaluate the use of AI at work. He's come to me to ask if I want to help, as he knows I hate it (and he does too), but I'm...vaguely aware...that not all things that are called "AI" are equal.
(like, the "AI" of NPCs in a game is not the same as the "AI" used to create the type of image we generally call "slop", right?)
We want to make sure we're armed with decent knowledge, because we don't want people to say "Oh, ignore them, they're just haters" if we're talking about something that maybe isn't the "bad" kind of AI (if such a thing exists - I don't know enough to be confident right now)
At the moment, *to the best of my currently limited knowledge*, our AI usage is pretty much limited to people using Gemini to create emails and transcripts of meetings.
(I hope that makes sense)
