thatās not to say that students donāt get correctly diagnosed: but if the NHS route is ineffective then the private route provides a way to evidence. Universities so deluged with support requests and underfunded to individually assess them they just centrally roll over.

Higher education sees a similar phenomenon. There is a whole industry of private sector medical certificate providers that university students from rich backgrounds use. Mitigating the inequality is a regular conversation.
A far greater proportion of private than state school pupils get extra time in examsā¦ which is even odder when you consider the wider context this is happening within: we know special educational needs are more prevalent in poorer areas

Incredibly wrongheaded. Automation in government isnāt about running around installing top down task templates but the ability to create bottom up tech in response to actual problems, framed locally: requires diffuse skill and capacity and maintenance and coordination.
I feel like with a small team and 2-3 years, proven tech founders could automate huge chunks of the government. I would sign up for a tour of duty (in the UK). It would need a lot of political aircover - I have no desire to fight a massive bureaucracy š¤·āāļø.

will just mean that when you actually need to call a restaurant to ask a question that a machine canāt know the answer to you wonāt get an answer cause theyāll have turned off the phoneline.
Sam Altman discusses AI agents: an AI that could not just book a restaurant, but call 300 restaurants looking for the best fit for you and more importantly act like a senior co-worker, collaborating on tasks for days or weeks at a time

Cloud isnāt just renting servers, as Microsoft knows. Why let people use your hardware for whatever they want, when you can only let them use it for whatever you say?
