There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

Bit of creative marketing going on with Tom Hawkins’ farm which has been on the market for nearly a year. Agents are plugging it as a new listing, and claiming it only went on the market this month. Pretty decent drop in price too - originally $5.35-5.85m; now below $5m

Photo by Michael Wilson of Fremantle captain Alex Pearce, on crutches, hobbling past the premiership cup after his team lost in the dying moments of the AFL grand final. Pearce suffered a match-ending Achilles injury and watched from the defeat from the sidelines. As an aside, Pearce is a very decent human who didn’t deserve this.

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.
