To be fair to OP, it's "I don't like this specific kind of humour". Which is a pretty normal thing to feel. There are a lot of comedy TV shows I don't find funny or find downright unpleasant, but that doesn't mean I don't like humour in general. Much as this overly-serious comment suggests otherwise.
You might be interested in mixed member proportional voting. It's not exactly what you described, but similar in philosophy. It has FPTP elections and then a second round of regional electors which compensate for the disproportionality of of the first round. It doesn't achieve perfect proportionality and is potentially open to abuse by some methods involving puppet parties, but it mitigates a lot of the issues with FPTP
Seeing as you referenced the UK Labour Party you might already know this as the system used in the Scottish and Welsh assemblies
I think you may have missed part of OP's idea here. They specify multiple-member constituencies in which all candidates get elected and their power is proportional to the number of votes they get. The total power of the constituency is conserved, it's just divided between multiple electors.
It would probably influence people to vote for the perceived winner instead of their choice.
This is an issue with FPTP regardless, unfortunately
The hybrit process that some Swedish steelmakers (including SSAB - not a typo, it isn't Saab) are using looks promising. They've been testing it with Volvo and are apparently making it part of Volvo's regular process in 2026
how high processing power computers with AI/LLM’s can assist in a lab and/or hospital environment
This is an enormously broader scope than the situation I actually responded to, which was LLMs making diagnoses and then getting their work checked by a doctor
In the example you provided, you're doing it by hand afterwards anyway. How is a doctor going to vet the work of the AI without examining the case in as much detail as they would have without the AI?
In the test here, it literally only handled text. Doctors can do that. And if you need a doctor to check its work in every case, it has saved zero hours of work for doctors.
Usually to do work that needs done but does not need the direct attention of the more skilled person. The assistant can do that work by themselves most of the time. In the example above, the assistant is doing all of the most challenging work and then the doctor is checking all of its work
If you need someone qualified to examine the case anyway, what's the point of the AI?
While we don't have another total one in the UK until 2090, we've got a near-total one in August 2026. About 90-95% depend on where in the country you are, with Cornwall getting the best of it again. Spain and Iceland get the totality of it, so you could take a short trip to some pretty nice places and catch it along the way
You seen their estates? They're the half corporation
