  12. “I was just existing, not living” — Port Talbot’s Ayla beats the odds to graduate as mental health nurse

    The Sandfields student collected her BSc Nursing (Mental Health) from Swansea University this week, a moment she once thought impossible.

    “I was experiencing paranoia and mania — I was really unwell, and it affected my schooling very badly. I had to be home schooled, and I left education without any kind of qualification,” Ayla recalled.

    By 18 she felt isolated and hopeless.

    “I had no friends and no social life. I was just existing, not living. The drugs slurred my speech, and I was sleeping during the day. I knew I wanted to take control of my life, I had to break free from the fear.”

    Determined to become a nurse, she enrolled at Afan College to gain access qualifications. With support from lecturers and family, she began to rebuild her confidence.

    A turning point came when she met campaigner Jonny Benjamin, founder of the charity Beyond. He invited her onto a youth board and asked her to contribute to The Book of Hope: 101 Voices on Overcoming Adversity — alongside Joe Wicks, Dame Kelly Holmes and Zoe Sugg.

    “That gave me a huge confidence boost and led to me applying to Swansea to study nursing,” Ayla said.

    At Swansea University she was paired with specialist mentor Pamela Johnson through the wellbeing service.

    “I couldn’t have done any of this without her,” Ayla said. “I would never have been able to cope. I am so grateful.”

    Pamela praised her resilience:

    “Ayla has worked incredibly hard throughout her course to manage her mental health while consistently working to the best of her ability.”

    Now qualified, Ayla wants to use her experience to change the way schools support young people.

    “I hope to raise awareness and make changes within schools to help children and young people struggling with mental ill health in a supportive and inclusive way, all the while sharing hope that we can still achieve our dreams.”

  16. CW: LLM usage stats

    @cy

    Re "existing solutions taken away", "tiny little opt-out button" etc: this is a valid critique of the stats, and at the same time there _are_ people using LLMs unforced, maybe a lot of them.

    A lot of what I've seen about coercion has been in the context of coding roles, and I think that makes sense. Techie people are aware of how it works and how illusory is the so-called "intelligence". They know "how the sausage is made". Plus, the risks of using LLMs for code are relatively obvious. So it does take coercion to make the sceptical techies go against their better judgement.

    But a lot of people don't need coercing. They're like "so this is the new thing, let's try it out... ooh, this bit is going to help me".

    - You can ask it for ideas and it'll give you some.

    - You can ask it to summarise a meeting, and even when the summary isn't perfect, it's close enough to remind you what the meeting was about, and who's got actions.

    Well, it's arguable that this cohort was manipulated or deceived or not given the full picture... but I don't think it makes sense to frame that as being _forced_. This is a different group from the "you'll be judged or punished for not using it" cohort. This group is genuinely curious, and even sometimes a bit enthusiastic about spreading the word among colleagues, "have you tried...?"

    I think whether you've witnessed that experimental curiosity very much depends on the circles you move in, but it wouldn't totally shock me to discover it was quite common.
