Published by: Public First Search for original: Link Key Take Aways Persistent Crisis: Britain faces a sustained affordability crisis, with household energy bills over £700 higher than winter 2021 levels, affecting up to 6.1 million households in fuel poverty. Widening Gap: The fuel poverty gap has nearly doubled since 2020, now averaging over £400 in England, reflecting the deepening severity of the crisis. Support Expiry Risk: The current Warm Home Discount (WHD) is due to expire in April 2026, risking… Read more

Published by: Stanford University and NBER Search for original: Link Key Take Aways Entry-Level Impact: The proliferation of generative AI is beginning to affect entry-level employment, particularly for workers aged 22–25 in highly AI-exposed occupations. Employment Decline: Early-career workers in the most AI-exposed roles have experienced a 13% employment decline compared to pre-adoption levels, even after accounting for firm-level shocks. Cohort Disparity: While overall employment remains strong, young workers in AI-exposed jobs have seen stagnant employment since late 2022, unlike… Read more

Published by: Apple Search for original: Link Key Take Aways Current frontier Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) exhibit fundamental limitations in developing generalisable reasoning capabilities, especially beyond certain complexity thresholds. Empirical analysis reveals three distinct reasoning regimes: standard LLMs outperform LRMs at low complexity; LRMs gain advantages at medium complexity; both collapse at high complexity. Scaling propensity shows a counterintuitive pattern: reasoning effort (token usage) increases up to a threshold but then declines despite facing more complex problems. Performance collapse occurs… Read more

Published by: MIT NANDA Search for original: Link Key Takeaways The majority of organisations are high adopters of GenAI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, yet only a small fraction (around 5%) are realising meaningful business impact or transformative change. The core barrier to scaling AI solutions is not model quality or regulation but the organisation’s approach — specifically, its ability to build systems that learn, adapt, and retain context over time. Big firms lead in the number of AI pilots… Read more
