Happy October 1st to all who celebrate; also known as “Footy Club moves out, Cricket Club moves in day” at your local community sports ground. Win the toss, bat first.

Albanese's proposal to water down Australian copyright to appease AI companies is a "terrible betrayal", writes Richard Flanagan in a blistering piece. "A government that doesn’t understand its nation’s culture is a government incapable of leading the nation." www.deepcutnews.com/p/the-great-...

The great betrayal? AI imperialists and Albanese – Richard Flanagan

Australians should be furious that Anthony Albanese has opened the floodgates to American AI companies

How's that social licence for AI going hey www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The RBA board said it voted unanimously for a hike in response to higher prices from the AI investment boom and amid fears that firms would begin passing on rising costs to consumers. Bullock singled out the US war on Iran, saying it could disrupt oil supply longer than expected.

It kinda feels like the Reserve Bank Board might not be so good at the "banking" bit?

Good luck with going after aged care too, Timbo. Boomers have always been strong supporters of cuts to the pension and the PBS.

Funny how you never hear of AI breaking its shackles & curing cancer. Or solving climate change. Or designing an end to poverty. I've wonder why that could be? #auspol #AI

The usual parade of economists are doing the rounds about interest rates and bellowing about government spending. None of them ever seem to offer solutions. Probably because all they’ve got it cut welfare, health and education.

The footy media-industrial complex at it again. To quote Bart Cummings; “you don’t compare champions, you admire them.”

Roy & HG’s “Festival of the Boot” is so sorely missed by those of us who don’t give a shit about “activations” and “fan engagement”. Basically, anyone over the age of 35, and for whom the actual game is entertainment enough.

Your correspondent is working all day today, so won’t be watching the GF live. Instead, I’m relying on the radio. My usual go-to for footy coverage is Trple M. Today they have Mark “famous people who have been fortunate enough to meet me” Howard calling the GF. Spare me.

Of course there are cancelled flights to Melbourne out of Brisbane and the Goldy on the one day of the year you’d think that someone would say “hey; let’s not fuck it up today eh folks”…

I propose a moratorium on news stories describing AI* tools as “going rogue” as if they have intent and moral agency. Instead, let’s describe the events in terms of the companies’ negligence.

Do you also tailgate motorists already doing 110km/h on the freeway? Are your knobby tires on suburban roads that weren’t engineered for them likely a significant contributing factor to Naarm’s pothole epidemic? Congrats, you’re also a fuckwit

UBI is freedom to choose useful work over bullshit jobs.

David Graeber quote supporting Universal Basic Income (UBI) to eliminate "bullshit jobs" and spark human creativity.

Chuck a sickie, and unless you're a casual, your employer still has to pay you. If you're casual, and you can afford it, chuck a sickie so the boss is forced to do some work.

Outstanding. Hayden Meyer - the umpire who pinged Jarman Impey on Saturday night - gets another GF whistle. No better umpire going around than Brett Rosebury either. Well played.

Damn, "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (1974) is such a great movie, packed with character actors doing terrific work, and one of the best onscreen portrayals of 1970s New York. Also, I mean, wow, that tie and shirt combo on Matthau.....

Known in racing and wagering circles as "The Early Crow" It is most definitely a "thing" and you *will* be punished if you go the early crow.
