Went on another little walk for my little mental health. Sheeps happened.

Started to properly get into research for the panel and turns out that having an author as a main source of truth is useful when you look for a nice piece of family lore because he wrote about it. Anyway. Gonna be a good week of going through stuff.

I wonder what has Stede so distracted.

Been enjoying the sun to go touch some grass and walk the anxiety off. Getting there. More walking happening in the near future. Writing a bit. Prepping for some open calls and panels.

Bit of a nature walk to shake the mind. Had a lovely Saturday. Hoping a quiet Sunday before jumping back into admin Monday.

They are good and allowed me to understand where exactly I stood. Getting a fast tracked course in Irish labour law 😅

In the "I didn't see that in my 2025 bingo"; having to retain an employment lawyer to go thru a redundancy agreement.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟

I'm going to transform stress into clothes. Will fight the viscose skirt this weekend, but also explore some new patterns. Mood Fabrics has a great collection of coat patterns and I may dive into one...

First consultation today. Didn't learn anything outside of there is no alternative offered other than somehow keep the role considered redundant, or being made redundant on August 1st. Made a walk the plank joke which went as poorly as expected but I found it funny. So there.

Poor Izzy felt the heat yesterday.

Open to puppy pictures or to job opening or Career page links so I can explore what's put there in the world for a data viz multi disciplinarian with a background in sales strategy, fintech compliance, mentoring, knowledge management, fintech and housing complaints management, ... 💖💖

(I'm good overall. I have plans. I'm thinking three steps ahead so whatever happens on August 1st, I'll be ready for the next step.)

Yesterday I went to my local Pride, a 4 y.o birthday, an engagement party & closed the day with Kíla's gig. And through it all, for small moments here and there, lost in the moments, I forgot about the latest wave of tech redundancy. Nice while it lasted. And now, Sunday is for updating my resume!

I have enough for the first steps, given that I'm not saving for the Irish citizenship anymore. Hoping to make an appointment in the next couple of weeks so I can see someone before the end of the year.

My pain reading Provence stuff written by Anglo speakers.

Doing my own research at the moment but wondering if other adults who got their #ADHD assessments privately done in #Ireland would like to share which assessment center they did it with and if they had some feedback on them (pro/con/...). Thanks in advance 💖

Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to “only read this table below,” thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper. She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but AI summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. “We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that,” she says, laughing.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results.

Blue sky. Bright sun. Bit of wind. Some live music too. Had an afternoon at the local seaside and caught some sun while at it.

Absolutely stocked for the county! I don't care enough about GAA to justify why I'm absolutely delighted by this win but maybe after 10yrs in da town I've accepted that I'll care about random things that I knew nothing about when I arrived.
