Question regarding UK education research:

Why is it that the current data that shows boys are performing less well than girls is described as boys' 'underachievement', and not girls' 'overachievement'?

Back in Feb, when Grammarly said they were going to think about incorporating AI, I immediately canceled my account and uninstalled. And now they've actually done it.

I'm sharing because with everything going on, writers might not realize this is happening.

From 2022 but relevant: https://www.protocol.com/enterprise/grammarly-writing-assistants-ai-data

Is using Grammarly worth exposing business data?

Writing tools including Grammarly use data from users to train their AI. Some businesses, especially those making products or software, worry it puts their intellectual property at risk.

If you're new to Mastodon (or maybe you've been here a while but haven't dived deeper into the community's design), I wrote up a list of things I wish I had understood when I first joined.

This doubles as a list of things that I think need to change if Mastodon is going to be a Twitter replacement. I'd really like Mastodon to succeed!

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why donโ€™t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

Why do fewer fathers than mothers engage in parental groups in workplaces?

Any views welcome ๐Ÿค—

Really enjoying the book #conveniencestorewoman

It's a top contender for the #fiction and #organisation module I am co-designing with my colleague Dr Helen Tracey.

Does anyone have any other recommendations for fictional workplaces or organisations?
