There should be no guilt with cake, only romance – in the making, the display, the history… and, of course, the eating The Great British Bake Off is back! Sales of baking utensils skyrocket when the amateur baking show is on. It appears we're all cake mad. But I've always been mad as a box of doughnuts for cake, long before the GBBO started.

The truth about artificial intelligence? It isn't that honest | John Naughton
 
Tests of natural language processing models show that the bigger they are, the bigger liars they are. Should we be worried? We are, as the critic George Steiner observed, "language animals". Perhaps that's why we are fascinated by other creatures that appear to have language – dolphins, whales, apes, birds and so on. In her fascinating book, Atlas of AI , Kate Crawford relates how, at the end of

Employers Have Been Offering the Wrong Office Amenities
 
Before you read any further, take a long, slow, deep breath. Congratulations! If you're sitting in a typical American home, office building, or school, about 3 percent of the air you breathed in recently came out of the lungs of the people in the room with you right now.

Universities Are Shunning Their Responsibility to Democracy
 
I was born in Canada , and my sense of national identity, like that of many Canadians, was formed in direct relation—perhaps in opposition—to the great colossus to the south. We were a country that aspired not to the lofty abstractions of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" but to the more prosaic benefits of "peace, order, and good government." I have always been proud of Canada's basi

Now Explain What the Problem Is
 
Academics like me love to describe things as "problematic." But what do we mean? We're not saying that the thing in question is unsolvable or even difficult. We're saying—or implying—that it is objectionable in some way, that it rests uneasily with our prior moral or political commitments. For instance, when I described applying Ancient Greek free-speech ideals to social media as "problematic" in

The Power of Artistic Exile
 
The filmmaker and polymath Melvin Van Peebles died last week at the age of 89 at his home in New York. He is best known as the auteur behind the first hit blaxploitation film, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971), but he was an artist of great breadth and versatility: sculptor; poet; painter; composer and, with Gil Scott-Heron, progenitor of rap and hip-hop; playwright; gifted novelist.

Rules and advice don't slow the spread of the virus – human behaviour does | David Spiegelhalter and Anthony Masters

The End of Bias by Jessica Nordell review – how to remove your blinkers
 
This thoughtful case for mounting a lifelong challenge to our own assumptions focuses on unconscious bias – but leaves overt prejudice largely unexamined We often think of bias as a problem that other people have.
