"AI has layers and layers of Dunning Kruger traps built in." Have you noticed overconfidence in AI answers? Let’s discuss! Read the full op-ed: https://smh.pulse.ly/xqq7uifisw #AI #DunningKruger

My column: Tim Wilson’s win in Goldstein contains two important lessons for future campaigners. One is about how to best serve a community. The other is how to stick with good policy. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: Albanese’s “progressive patriotism” is central planning with Australian characteristics. A renewed Liberal Party would need to understand the ways in which a low-choice environment limits and oppresses different groups. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: Millennials and Gen Z are increasingly voting to pick their own pockets, undermining their own future prosperity. www.smh.com.au/national/you...

My column: Musk and Navarro are having what is effectively an academic debate about the relative advantages of globalisation and protectionism. Their duel will influence a generation of economic thinkers. www.smh.com.au/national/gfc...

My column: Adolescence is four hours of harrowing watching, following the story of 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is accused of murdering a 14-year-old girl. One rainy weekend, my nearly 13-year-old son and I watched it in a single day. He asked me to write this. www.smh.com.au/national/ado...

My column: The longer-term trend of Dutton’s ascent is a reminder that polls are just a measure of current opinion, not a substitute for a decisive leader or a bigger vision. Australians are sick of government-by-focus group. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: as the government chucks money at us to buy our votes, we should recognise that we’ve entered the era of pocket money politics. Instead of a transfer from parents to kids, government pocket money is kids subsidising their parents. www.smh.com.au/national/we-...

My column: Why Trump’s madness is making the world a safer place www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

My column: Pork-barrelling on childcare is a betrayal of babies and families. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: Anthony Albanese likes to tell us that he’s been underestimated his whole life. But I’m now coming to terms with the fact that I’ve overestimated him for most of mine. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: Thanks to two nurses making casually – they say jokingly – antisemitic statements on social media, Australia has had a terrifying glimpse into a possible future. That future is playing out on the other side of the world in Germany. www.smh.com.au/national/sho...

My column: The Sam Kerr and Antoinette Lattouf cases show how wrong the West went when it tried to enshrine the victim-oppressor paradigm in law. www.smh.com.au/national/ker...

My column: Fathers voted with their left-leaning daughters at the last election. Now, with young men drifting right, will their mothers vote with them? www.smh.com.au/national/you...

My column: After decades of Green New Deals, Conference of the Parties meetings, United Nations treaties, and DEI schemes in the developed world, Trump 2.0 is about to show us what they cost. What if it turns out they’ve not been a net benefit, or, worse, a drag? www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

My column: Meta’s offering to Trump is a tech-enabled way of doing foreign policy, in which the messages of the US are pushed directly into foreign electorates, speaking directly to voters. But with the tech bros brokering policy, will Trump really be in charge? www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Is it just me or does Bluesky feel more like new LinkedIn than old Twitter?

My column: Elon Musk is not God, and his judgment is not divine or perfect. He is “everyman” – us, unburdened by shallow empathy, crusading on behalf of victims, but without all the answers. Yell-at-Parnell.zapier.app has more if you want to chat after reading. www.smh.com.au/technology/m...

My column and my chatbot alter ego: I joked that opinion columnists can never be replaced by AI – because readers need a real person to hate - and a friend took up the challenge and built a chatbot of me. Try her! www.smh.com.au/national/i-m...

In the wake of the kerfuffle over Elon Musk penning an oped in Die Welt, I've dug out an article I started writing about the AfD in 2018, shortly after interviewing co-founder Alexander Gauland. I think it holds up well. open.substack.com/pub/parnellp...

My column: Great politicians get two things right: they choose the right time to be born & the right time to leave politics. Albanese missed his moment. He’s a man built for an era of liberal gentility, who became PM just as the liberal era was drawing to an end. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

My column: The ABC has become dull and incurious. Joe Rogan might just have the cure. www.smh.com.au/national/the...

So excited that @parnellpalme.bsky.social is here!! Always have awesome chats with her. We may not always agree but it’s important to have great discussions!!

My column: a jumble of tariffs, sanctions and bans - what Trump, sex strikes and social media bans have got wrong. www.smh.com.au/business/the...

Pretending the world doesn’t exist is not a healthy way to live.

I am very much enjoying the panic of the maltruth moths as the try to block and announce that they’re blocking simultaneously. This site is a big old blockmange.

Pathetic.

The type who left X because it’s toxic 👇

The person you never spoke to leaving the party you never asked the to… 👇🤷‍♀️

My column: 3m users have joined Bluesky over the past week. Mis- and disinformation are not alone the enemy; malinformation – information that does not accord with the idealists’ worldview – is the apple from the tree of knowledge, from which the Devil bid Eve to sup. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Ooh, new hell site!
