When we get off social media, meet, organise, educate, protest, “chop wood, carry water”, and put better people in charge.

Yet more evidence for the towering heap of proof that synthetic users are bullshit. As with all AI products, they do not improve "productivity" for a task but create an excuse not to do the task. In this case, the task is research. AI participants do not help you do research, but to AVOID research.

The most radical arm in Australian politics (and the world) right now is the far right. And yet this is the analysis for the Greens.

Wild that Chris is one of the best Aussie comedians online, just by being an economist explaining how the modern world works.

If they had a wagon version of this a year or two ago, I would’ve bought it without almost any comparison. Too late now. Grabbed a VW instead.

This is… bad news, right? Suggests that this “super” El Niño is an outlier only in historical terms, but likely the new normal / baseline courtesy of global warming heating the ocean?

Excited to be chosen as Leader of the @greens.org.au, together with @stephhodgins-may.bsky.social as Deputy Leader. Now is the time to build the Greens as the home for all who want climate action, a fair return on our resources, a secure home and income, and to not sell out to the US or the 1%.

I want to make a word popular: UNMANIPULABLE 🧟 Here's some brain-dead arguments I've been seeing in real LinkedIn posts recently: (not my points! 🙅🏻‍♂️) - It's near impossible to build a successful innovative business in Australia, according to someone whose innovative Australian business is thriving.

If it’s mostly oil prices that have caused the CPI rise, wouldn’t that be excluded from the trimmed mean which I think they’ve said is their main guiding metric? Seems counterintuitive to raise and lower interest rates to match oil prices when the oil going up already reduces spending!?! 🤪

You can, in fact, assume nobody doomsayers are lying, and you’ll have a very good chance of being right. This includes pronouncements by successful business people and major media organisations. "In God we trust. All others must bring data." Use your brain! * Become UNMANIPULABLE ! *

If someone tells you the sky is falling and brings no receipts, you have no obligation to believe a word of it, or spend any time looking into it.

Remember: Bad news gets the headlines, exaggerated POVs get clicked more than realistic ones, bad actors are plentiful and powerful, ideology and propaganda are rife, and algorithms boost engagement bait, not useful information.

(Slop continues!) - Workers have too many rights and are generally lazy, says someone who's rich because of how hard their employees have worked. - Gigantic, systemic issues (many of them imaginary) all appeared overnight 4 years ago when the Liberal & Nationals coalition lost government.

(Slop continues) - The government is collecting too much money, but also should be spending more money on startups and corporate welfare. - A big list of things about the economy and government are all going terribly, though all of them are disproven simply by looking at public statistics.

Approving the HVO coal mine expansion would unleash decades of pollution at a time when Australians are already paying the price for worsening climate impacts. We need to protect our communities from worsening climate disasters and costs, not add more fuel to the fire.

It appears if you ask A.I. for a retirement strategy, it will suggest you should be Taika Waititi and hook up with Michelle Yeoh. I think it might have the maths a bit wrong, though, as usual.

Screenshot of an advertisement with what appears to be an AI-generated watercolour sketch of two supposedly generic retirement-age people who look very similar to Taika Waititi and Michelle Yeoh. Text reads:
“7 RETIREMENT INCOME STRATEGIES

- Social media brain rot where we've failed to see that we are human beings connected to other unique human beings and therefore, just because something doesn't reflect my experience, it doesn't mean it's wrong or "bad" or something you can't still read/watch/play, etc.

Australia just drew a line in the sand: AI-made songs can go viral, but they can’t top the ARIA Charts. After an AI-assisted Madonna cover surged to #2, ARIA ruled charts must reward music that’s substantially human-made.

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Recently, I keep seeing examples of people using AI for things where perfectly good deterministic tools are available. While I understand AI is the new shiny tool, do we need to use it for everything? Especially if deterministic alternatives exist? What do you think?

100%. I'm constantly educating people not to ask LLMs to do maths. They generally suck at it. Ask LLMs to write code that'll do the maths, they'll likely do a decent job.
