iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Wow, the Economist reckons 20% of what is said in the Australian parliament is drafted by AI.

What I reckon is that the government should launch legal action against OpenAI, but announce it will run the case just purely using ChatGPT. That way, either its wins, or exposes how you really shouldn't rely on the product. Gives OpenAI a big incentive to settle...

Some fun facts! Lachie Neale earns about $1.4m a year. A $10k fine is 0.7% of that, or the equivalent of a fine of $536 for the median Australian worker. That's roughly the fine you get for disobeying a speed sign by more than 10 knots on a jetski.

An AI did something it shouldn't, and a server wasn't secured as well as it should be. But that's no fun, the narratives require just one or the other. AIs are either tools or people, if the former their users are responsible for what they do, and if the latter we get to sue a robot. Now that's fun

Bhutan remembers to ask the last question, which almost no other country would think of doing.

Tldr you’re not actually allowed to just wander up to someone and punch them in the stomach. Yet another of those weird AFL rules.

"The NRL is going without a Grand Final act because Tones and I refused to sing Dance Monkey" is funny in ways that I can't easily explain.

Ruth Davidson argues against inheritance tax "inherent unfairness that we pay tax when we die. What does the state do for our corpse in return?" It's an odd argument because corpses don't pay the tax. They can't. They're dead. Also, what does a corpse need the money for. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

Ruth Davidson: Inheritance tax has never affected me – here’s why I'm against it anyway

She has no skin in the game on IHT, but feels strongly that the tax should go

ALWAYS BE CANCELLIN'. I just went to cancel my NY Times games sub, because they had doubled the fee. Classic enshittification - add new features you don't want, raise the price. So I clicked to cancel and it offered me a rate that was half what I was paying, instead of double. Accept!

My 9/11 memory is very odd. I was at a performance of a Mozart opera in Perth with two intervals and in each interval another tower had come down. Ppl stood in the foyer looking at the TVs then went back into the show.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And this is why we lost to the Hawks. And why even if we beat Geelong We're going to lose to the Swans.
