#Spéirghorm this is how it's done! #uptheworkers
Myself & my senior infant (with baby in tow) did a wee tour of the local pickets and honked away while I explained strikes to her. Then we picked up her sister from preschool and made buns for her teachers before walking down to give them out at the picket line. #uptheworkers

No, it's Machine Learning that is useful to scientists -conflating it with AI means people equate ML with #LLM #GenAI and #AIslop
It's PR shilling talk, they are not the same

"There are huge potentials for AI in biology.

We are using AI to understand the fundamentals of biology.

We use AI not only because of speed (discusses how tasks that'd have taken days now take hours) but AI also enables discovery."

Lol this might be what crashes it!
But the poor electronic engineers that designed the chips have designed themselves out of jobs?
Yeah, but #VibeCoding track record & lack of error handling etc...

It's a big week for AI summits in Dublin so in anticipation of the regulation rhetoric about to stem from the industry at these meetings, I'd like to remind you of reasons to bear a healthy scepticism in mind on this matter...

Mairead McGuinness nods as Zalando and Siemens talk about value creation, application layers and 8% increases in inventory something something

Meanwhile the guy who had to fly through Munich appears to be falling asleep, and whoever the Redbull can was holding a seat for never showed up

Dismal.
Mortifying
Stealing culture and human creativity like all techbro goons
Hope Sean Heaney or family sue for this misrepresentation!

Virkkunen ends her speech, mostly about how the EU will be an “AI Continent” with a reference to Sean’s Heaney’s Digging, saying every generation has its instrument - and maybe our pen / shovel is AI

Our culture is really being mined here today

Her speech ends and she and An Taoiseach flee

Got talking to Elaine at the picket at Cheeverstown about why she's out protesting today with her union and other workers.

The support from the public is really overwhelming. A win for public sector workers is a win for all✊

There is a smoke machine, but shoes are shiny but sensible, the handbags are YSL, a man refuses to move a can of redbull to let a person on crutches sit down, the Taoiseach walks in and takes his seat and no one notices.

This is the rhetoric at the AI Summit today in Dublin, on the day of the #GeneralStrike

The CEO of Ryanair making a quip that French air traffic controllers go on strike "because it's a Tuesday" got warm giggles from the audience. So that's the vibe at the AI Summit taking place during a public sector strike and which afforded all of 5 mins of speaking time to 1 rep from a trade union.

Talked to Sorcha at the massive picket at SDCC about why she's out protesting today with her union and other workers.

The support from the public is overwhelming. A win for public sector workers is a win for all.✊

Extract from the Cork Examiner, 1938 where my great grandfather Christopher Lettice is nominated to represent Cork Vehicle Builders on the Cork Workers Council. Proud to carry on that tradition of solidarity today. #UptheWorkers

Genuinely heart warming the level of support being shown to the strikers today.
Except of course for some old twat who drove by in a van and roared
'I hope you'd be out doing that for Enoch Burke' 🙄
Theres always one 🤬

Thoughts and prayers to the range rover driver that thought I was blowing the car horn at him, he was probably unaware of the strikers.
