They should bring back the GENERAL STUDIES A level. Russell Group Unis should design so they take it seriously on applications.

BTW: I've just put all my blog posts on my concerns, and thoughts on the design of personified AI companion agents all in one place.

'Little Guys' are the emerging UX paradigm for AI; tiny, characterful agents that turn large language models into visible companions.

For a sense of how this is all going look at this chart! When chatbots get personified into little guys (not just creepy wifus) this line is going to continue to go up. They're going to be in your phone, your computer, your car. It's all going to get really weird for a while.

Lots of talk about AI girlfriends again with the release of Grok Chan. But look at the data:. Character AI users spend nearly 90 minutes a day chatting with their virtual friends, and over 70% of them are women. By time spent, it’s *AI boyfriends* getting the engagement.

Long before today's personified agents, Petz (1995) set the blueprint for low-stakes companionship with interactive pets. In the first instalment of my new series, I explore Dogz & Catz and the key design patterns still shaping AI UX today.

Not long until we get Trustless agent-rights enforcement on chain. Hypothesis being that cross-org agent coordination needs visibility, insurance and law to have credible commitments. Insurance, not mckinsey, will eat the sins.
Completely missing the point. Consultants are decision insurance for C-suite so they can justify things to their BOD without getting fired.

My own personal connection to the arm forces is that both of my friends who went in were killed by IEDs. If you encourage UK pops interest in defence and resilience, you better stop fucking about in foreign wars, & aiding countries committing genocide. Not the cold war anymore.
''We don't have that modern connection to it''🗣️. Lord Mark Sedwill addresses modern challenges of civil defence on this week's @bfbsSitrep podcast. He believes a programme is needed to "re-engage" the public in defence. 🎧Listen in full👉
