Novelist accused of using AI to write book removed from French prize list
Thelyson Orelien had been in the running to win a top literary prize before the AI claim emerged on social mediaThe organisers of France's most prestigious literary prize said they had removed a critically acclaimed novel by a Canadian-Haitian writer from the longlist after an anonymous online account claimed the book was almost entirely" written by AI.The Academie Goncourt, a Paris-based literary organisation, said on Friday its decision to withdraw Thelyson Orelien's novel C'etait ca ou mourir (It Was That or Die) was driven by the desire to preserve the integrity of the Goncourt prize and the academy itself, whose central role is to promote and honour literature written by women and men".

‘These efforts have not gone too well’: your questions on how money will influence midterm elections answered
Who are the groups backing candidates in the midterms - and why? Joseph Gedeon, Dara Kerr and Chris Stein answered your questionsSign up to The Stakes newsletter: your weekly guide to the US midtermsNola67 asks Alex Vindman had $16 million fundraised during his losing campaign against Angie Nixon [to be the Democrat's Senate nominee in Florida]. Will he be giving that money to Nixon now, and is she getting more funding help from the national Democratic Party?Joseph: Our understanding is that he's using his sizeable war chest to boost Democrats across the country, and to the Florida Democratic state party, though not Nixon herself. He announced back in August that he'd be sending $250k to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee and candidates like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan, Troy Jackson in Maine, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Charles Booker in Kentucky, and more.In Florida, he says he invested $400k to the state democratic party, though not directly to Nixon herself. It seems like the Senate Majority PAC, led by Chuck Schumer and meant to boost Democrats to the Senate, are steering clear of Nixon's campaign - it seems they don't find that one winnable, and don't want to put the investment into it.Dara: Theoretically AI could be used for recovering debt for investors for the government, but given the mistakes and bias the technology still has it would likely need human oversight for this work. It's more feasible that AI will be used as a tool to help identify trends and organize material, but then people would have to direct this work and keep tabs on the technology to ensure all rules and regulations are being followed.

Londoners get £3bn a year subsidy because structure of council tax biased against north, says thinktank – UK politics live
Resolution Foundation says households outside London are paying hundreds of pounds a year more in council tax than they would be under a fair systemTim Shipman has written about what will be coming up at the Labour conference next week in his cover story for the Spectator. He says:Labour special advisers summoned last week to the pillared state room on the first floor of No. 10 to hear the plan for conference from Burnham's political secretary, Hayden Munro, left in no doubt that the PM wants to be a transformational figure. The conference narrative' these advisers were urged to push includes the telling line: This Labour government will bring forward the biggest change to Britain in 40 years, with a new political and economic model.' On the specifics, Burnham will pledge: We will make the choices that are needed to end rough sleeping, solve the social care crisis and get more young people into work.'Burnham will pledge to run a cost-of-living government' with further immediate action' to provide the breathing space people need', as well as outline plans to devolve power out of Whitehall', reindustrialise Britain' and take back public control of the essentials in life - such as energy, water and housing' to make them affordable again'.Ultimately, the election choice is Burnham's. If you knew what Keir's aides thought, you knew what he would do,' says a ministerial aide. But Andy has political opinions of his own.' Burnham may go for it. But those closest to him doubt it. He likes risk, but he has stuff he wants to get done,' says one close confidant. While outsiders think his ambitions require an election, Burnham thinks he can transform Britain without one. Andy really cares about the devolution stuff,' the ministerial aide observes. Most of Westminster roll their eyes but he thinks that will change the country. He thinks doing that will make him a great prime minister.'And those who think none of that will deal with Britain's economic problems seize on another clue. A Labour adviser concludes: Ultimately I think Burnham and his team will do what they often do with difficult decisions, and not make one.'What I imagine is that some schools will offer some of these subjects where their local labour market demands, and this is where our mayors and our local leaders are really helping to shape that in their area.So I wouldn't expect a school to offer all of these, as they don't offer all GCSEs at the moment. They will specialise in particular areas.If you're trying to do engineering or construction, for example, you know that involves a lot of problem solving, a lot of maths, a lot of thinking, as well as the hands-on skills that's required.So it's not dumbing down, it's the opposite of that, actually, because this is about raising the standards and the rigour and regulating these qualifications.
