When someone's caught cheating, plagiarising or lying on their work using AI their first instinct is to just do huge lies about it Which makes a lot of sense? It's a selected sample of people who are, er, not exactly operating at the highest level of ethical standards

Who would’ve thought putting the world’s dumbest cunts in charge would have consequences?

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

Work meeting disrupted by someone enjoying some personal time in the building across from the office.

You cannot use a software system designed to make things up as research. You cannot rely on it to generate ideas, or translate text, or write for you, or check your grammar or spelling. If you do use it, you will have your moment. 100% fucking guaranteed. It will probably be really, really bad ⏱️

Imagine how many arrests there would have been if they'd silently held placards about Palestine instead of lobbing bottles and wheelie bins at the police....

Ditto. I’d be delighted if the value of my home dropped 25%. Or more. Then maybe my adult offspring could afford to move out.

Yes, whenever you hear stuff like this - AI inevitablism from respected creators and normally trusted sources - remember that nothing in your lifetime has had so much money spent on convincing you that it cannot fail and that we desperately need it, consequences be damned.

This cheating defence is so wild. If it's all up there in your brain already why did you need to load it into copilot? And copilot is trained on EVERYTHING so this academic is still engaging in plagiarism and should face real consequences www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

“Legitimate Concerns”

The only real use for generative AI is identifying morons. It really appeals to the slack-witted and intellectually lazy among us.

If your business is not using AI you’re missing out on opportunities to overcharge customers. Get on board or be left behind.

If you can’t tell the difference between an expert and a bot, what that tells you is that you can’t tell the difference between an expert and a bot. It doesn’t tell you anything whatever either about the bot or about the knowledge that you’re asking the bot to give you because you aren’t an expert.

Oh shit. You know that iconic AI chat where the user asks it a basic msths problem and it says something ridiculous? I’ve just encountered that in the wild with a coffee order. The system has sent me 250g and billed me for 1kg. Initially it sees no discrepancy. Prompted, it escalates to a human.

all foxes arrive in kit form

The Australian media ecosystem is utterly compromised in favour of Israel and every individual with a profile on TV or in the legacy press understands their career is contingent on them never criticising Israel. The only path out of this is for Hamish and Andy to come out in support of Hezbollah

If Avi Yemeni approached you with a microphone and asks a question the only valid response is ‘fuck off cunt’

Get into AI or get left behind

This is fun and not even embarrassing www.maptap.gg June 2 93🎓 95👑 95🏆 97🔥 93🎉 Final score: 948

Absolute galaxy brain bullshit. This is news corp fodder for the dumbest of the deadshits, no serious journalist should be giving oxygen to this garbage.

Never gets old. J-school essay topic: Is there any performance test for essentially life-tenure columnists? A limit on how many big calls you can get totally wrong, before they say: Hey, buddy, how about taking a step back for a while. Maybe a few reported pieces? Where you go out and ask around?

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

ABC MD Hugh Marks had clearly been recruiting his new director of news before Justin Stevens even resigned. Job wasn’t advertised, there was no open, merit-based process, and internal staff had no chance to apply. The whole thing stinks.

I’m bookmarking this to show my wife next time she complains about our birdseed expenditure

I've been microdosing "thinking" lately. Every hour for one minute I "use my brain to think about stuff.". I believe this will put me at a competitive edge over 99.6% of the human population, if my calculations are correct.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

There's no excuse for using a platform run by a Nazi who's responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people

I don’t care what anyone says, I will never vote for Platner.

nothing, not my job and not my problem

My traditional comment is that being a professional writer who uses AI is kindred to needing training wheels to do the Tour de France.

if you are "using AI for writing," you are not writing. i do not know how to make this any simpler

See you can just say "it sucks we should ban it"

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

Another partially successful space flight and still the haters use slurs like ‘blows up’

“It’s always ‘Hey, take Zuck to Davy Jones Locker this, pop Peter Thiel a 100 feet into the air and then eat his liver that—when are you land whales gonna finally step up to these guys yourselves?”

I could get closer to Mars with a $20 ladder than Bezos and Musk have with a bazillion of the tax dollars you were forced to give them instead of having health care or trains. The rich are actively destroying everything and you are being forced to pay them for it.

Trump has discovered something more embarrassing than being Milli Vanilli

You can always tell when The Stranglers have been in to return their books.

Why can’t the young people of today dress like this? If they did they’d get a job and be able to afford a house.👍

Between Brereton and Segal, Albanese really does have form for picking folks who don't give a fuck about even trying to take the basics of a public role seriously.

Saddened to hear about John Howard this afternoon 😞

The government's (un)employment services advisory group has been established, and guess how many people are on it who have direct experience of the system? Somehow Kmart got a look-in though. Can't wait to see all those high quality jobs the minister is promising.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

Watching Question Time and you do not get any sense that the govt is worried about the tax changes being politically damaging - they very much are eager to talk them up. Don't get suckered into believing what the AFR and The Australian are trying to sell you live.thepoint.com.au

“Hey kids, it’s Dad, I’ve just been crashing out hard and need a few bumps of K to get me to the end of the week if you have any hookups,” wrote Elon Musk, who was said to be pale and shaking as he frantically typed out the requests to his children
