I can't believe I was relieved when these fuck3rs won the election. Utterly feckless lickspittles.

At what point did people start confusing "weary" for "wary"? I'm seeing a *lot* of that recently.

Reminds me of the time I decided the most efficient way to have a lap pool would be to loop it around the house, and then i realised I'd invented the moat.

I am genuinely sick to death of pretending this is somehow normal or expected. If you use LLMs to do any part of your writing, thinking or synopses (let alone art) you should be embarrassed and out of work.

All the money, none of the submarines: AUKUS deal paying upfront for hopes and dreams
When Kerry Packer bought Channel 9 back from Allan Bond for effectively half the price Bond had sold it to him, Packer famously said “You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I’ve had mine”.

Four frames. Reporter with Albo. Frame 1: Reporter: “So, they get considerable control over our critical minerals sector…?” Albo: “Yep.” 2. Reporter: “…ensuring that we can keep paying them billions for submarines we may never get…” Albo: “That’s right”. Frame 3: Reporter:”…and we can ignore their slide into fascistic autocracy with no regard for the rule of law…?” Albo: “Uh-huh.” Frame 4: Reporter: “Astonishing.” Albo: “People often underestimate me.”

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.
