Here is an annotated version of the Citrini Memo with my own intro. It is analyslop - scare-fiction written to ingratiate AI boosters and analysts/traders with tales of ultra-automation and socialist data center policies. Shameful that the markets reacted at all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1p1n0...

Australia's new opposition leader appealed a federal court ruling that the gov't must consider future generation in fossil fuel project approvals - and won "Sussan Ley does not have a duty of care to protect young people from the harms of climate change" - 2022 theconversation.com/todays-disap...

The federal court today unanimously decided Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley does not have a duty of care to protect young people from the harms of climate change.

The ruling overturns a previous landmark win by eight high school students, who sought to stop Ley approving a coal mine expansion in New South Wales. While the judge did not prevent the mine expansion, he agreed the minister did indeed have a duty of care to children in the face of the climate crisis.

Ley’s successful appeal is disappointing. As legal scholars, we believe the judgment sets back the cause of climate litigation in Australia by two decades, at a time when we urgently need climate action to accelerate.

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit. The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots. Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare. 🧪🦜 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Political commentators got the read on young men very wrong, in part because they would not be swayed from their US-inspired framing.

It's not partisan or spin to call out a terrible train-wreck of a campaign while it's still in motion (sideways, sliding toward a cliff most of the time). It's just calling it as it is. #Auspol So many dumb things. Also, the visuals of 3 stuck/damaged trucks, then the bus stuck in Pitt St. 🧵

Weird many Americans see our compulsory voting as overreach. No. Everyone 18+ has a civic duty & a choice when it comes to who leads their country & makes policy for the next 3 years. ALL of us. (It’s not only those w the means &/or impetus - less than half population in the US - who vote.

I find it insulting, yet sadly not at all surprising that so many of you - and primarily our sexist media - are only mentioning males as potential Liberal leaders. Sussan Ley is the deputy leader. Yes, a woman of 24 years as an MP. Sexism so blatant it's sickening. #AusVotes25
