I am annoyed by how much of this episode involved me wishcasting for how Digital ID could work if the government were competent, strategic, thoughtful or politically savvy. It shouldn't be my job to go "here is the left-wing case for digital ID", it should be Keir Starmer's!

This is my base scenario for an AI bust.
I guess maybe standards fell rapidly but I’d be more inclined to think OP is lying, or OP’s date was lying. When I was there there were certainly the occasional email going “you get a free dinner please we need volunteers” but never that
??? Why do you think this
I think it’s a deliberate note from the RLHF. Someone wrote a style guide for ChatGPT basically
They also have an 80% chart at the same link!
The reason they had to “work alongside the Motor Insurer’s Bureau” and so why this is a news story about a crackdown rather than the status quo is that they’re gonna run aren’t allowed to access the DVLA database automatically
Yeah it’s why it’s one of the ones I closely track. They’re an independent outfit, running a battery of tests, that have an easy to grasp implication, and which is updated in real time. Main issue is that they’re gonna run out of test suite eventually which will break the time series
A fun thing about uninsured cars: I can, at any moment, type a number plate into my phone and find out if a car is uninsured. police cars can, at any moment, automatically use ANPR to check the number plate of the car in front of them. It is illegal to combine these two capabilities
much more aggressive use of ANPR is a big one. We have a database of uninsured number plates and it is illegal to hook it up to the cameras on police cars.
Friends car was just totalled by an uninsured banned driver _with a court date for driving offences tomorrow_. Three kids in her car when it happened, thankfully only one broken collarbone between them.
Don’t make me photoshop Florida into this
A couple of times I’ve had the pleasure of asking “are you saying the school week should be longer or that there are things that should be cut from the curriculum” and strangely no-one wants their name attached to either of THOSE proposals
Thing that's good about it is it's the same battery of tasks that they've been testing since Feb 2025. Agree that it's focused on SWE stuff
It's log scale, if that's what you mean
METR has updated its LLM time-horizon chart for Claude 4.5 Sonnet and we're still above the trendline. Slowdown? What slowdown? metr.org/blog/2025-03...
Although it doesn't exist as such in law, in practice a London council tenancy is an asset worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Right to Buy is a process where you pay to swap that asset for the property itself.
If your social rent is £2,000 less than the house would rent for on the open market, then it's basically worth it _for the council_ if you exercise RtB and then sell it back to them for £270k, provided you then live for a little over a decade longer in a different house you own
The thing that always gets missed in RtB conversations though is that the person exercising RtB is also giving up a lifetime tenancy at vastly below-market-rate rent. Every chance that, for a house in central hackney, that asset is worth £270k!
Well that's where I wonder. What's the lifetime cost of a council tenant to the council? Presumably somewhere like hackney it could be approaching that level anyway
