    All of those points assume AI will be implemented without compliance with the #Bletchley and #Seoul Declarations...

    ... Which at the moment is kinda true... But all major Governments (mostly) have signed them.

    ... #regulateAI

  9. Seems like a male (naturally) animal abuser moved up to Murder.

    You don't need algorithms 'predicting' who the next murderer will be, you just need to watch the animal and people abusers.

  12. Hi folks,

    Just a quick reminder that August's #Bletchley & #MK #MathsJam is:

    - *tomorrow*: Tuesday 22nd!
    - at Brewhouse and Kitchen in Central Milton Keynes (close to the theatre, *not* to be mixed up with the Midsummer Tap which is very close and has "pub and kitchen" on the sign!).
    - From 7pm

    Bringing yourself is an absolute must, and any #mathematical #ideas, #conundrums, #puzzles, #tidbits, #games, #books, #toys or #tales are encouraged but completely optional.

    If you're able to let me know if you're intending to come I'd appreciate it, otherwise just turn up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

    See you there,

    Tom

  13. #Chiltern Railways has been named the operator for the first stage of East West Rail, set to launch later this year, connecting #Oxford and Milton Keynes. This new service will slash journey times, providing better access to jobs, education, and business opportunities. The project aims to drive economic growth in the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, with East West Rail projected to generate £6.7 billion annually by 2050 and support 28,000 jobs in #Cambridge. The line will also feature a new station at #Winslow and improved services at #Bicester Village and #Bletchley. The development will enhance local economies, reduce road travel, and contribute to the regeneration of town centres. Future stages will extend the line to Bedford and #Cambridge, with plans for greener, hybrid battery-electric trains.

  14. @gparenti @fj hundreds of women at #Bletchley park & they weren’t just playing tennis..

  16. Today's #Bletchley & #MiltonKeynes #MathsJam (it's important to note that we didn't find complete, correct answers to all of these, and in some cases we don't even know if there *is* a correct answer. It would be great to hear anybody's thoughts on any of these themes!):

    1. D treated us to a trial run of his #BigMathsJam talk: 5 minutes it's a tough mark to hit, but he did it & I think it'll be a popular one.

    2. Played with a game I got for my birthday after experiencing it on a maths stand at the Green Man Festival in the summer. Thought sceptically about some of the claims on the box including how many variations of the game were possible.

    3. Some chat about books that are important in the history & development of maths. There are some 'obvious' ones, but are there examples that have been overlooked that might help to highlight diversity & improve representation in maths if we spoke about them more?

    4. How many holes does a straw have? How about a T-shirt?

    5. Looking forward to Big MathsJam (2 of us are going!)

    6. What is the nᵗʰ term of a sequence that is the intersection of two arithmetic sequences? Can it be determined purely algebraically from the nᵗʰ terms of the two original sequences?

    7. Really, really big knockout competitions, & ranking the participants.

    8. B can't come to November's moved MathsJam as she's giving a talk down in that London. We could have a B&MK MathsJam outing, I suppose?!

  17. I'm kind of suspicious that hosting the AI / ML safety summit at Bletchley Park is a sort of passive aggressive trolling of the billionaire playboys attending. You know, like "yeah well we were here first after all...". This would be typical of the current crop of tory middle managers in charge here.

    But I'm trying to follow it fairly closely and keep track of discussions, it seems serious, with quality attendees.
