AI can lie, cheat and fail – so why are we still measuring it with vibes?
Generative AI is moving so fast we’ve skipped the part where we check whether it is doing what it’s supposed to. We’re in a strange limbo where chatbots can write essays, fake court transcripts, even emotionally manipulate users – and developers claim they’re “correctly aligned” because someone ticked a checklist.

Beyond Face Value: unmasking the impact of migraine
Migraine is often dismissed as “just a bad headache.”1 Yet a report, developed and funded by biopharmaceutical company AbbVie, suggests it is also a driver of economic inactivity and healthcare demand in the UK.
