An auditor for the Ontario, Canada government found that AI agents tasked with turning doctor/patient conversations into structured notes routinely hallucinated false treatments, replaced drug names with entirely different drugs, and missed crucial information

So, I'm sitting in a hotel bar prepping on my laptop for a workshop I'm running the next few days. Initially I was going to post on LinkedIn about the prep process and what I do, but while I was looking through old videos and photos for my slide deck I was reminded of my beautiful friend.

Claire Lehmann writing on tax for the Oz appears unaware of the beneficiary tax offset or the low income tax offset.

"Treasury is revising down expenditure in Jobseeker, claiming there will be a 3.8% drop or saving of $700 million over 2 years. Poverty advocates like the Antipoverty Centre can’t make sense of it, & wonder if it means the government plans to make accessing the unemployment benefit more difficult."

Maltese politicians actively trying the “make the entire populace dumber” electoral tactic I see openai.com/index/malta-...

Booting out people with skills we need who contribute more in taxes than Australian born people…all for some cheap, lazy, racist votes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Real focused on bread and butter, cost of living, quality of life issues here.

Oh lord. Amazing in a story about a “generation” of investors, the AFR could only find one person. Someone needs to protect these teenagers from themselves to stop them being used by the media. The internet is forever. www.afr.com/wealth/tax/w...

Creepy US style trickery/tactics in Australian elections: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Note that property investors get grandfathered changes, but NDIS participants do not. So our Government is effectively saying property investors deserve the dignity of maintaining their current comfort levels, but people with disabilities do not.

Who among us did not have a $50,000 share portfolio when we were 20yo? The Oz finds a typical young person.

“Media is not a neutral player in this – it plays the rule in, rule out game every election, and then holds governments to whatever the conditions were at that time” Yep, this idea that the media are shocked by a “broken promise” is laughable.

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

Marginal tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

What utter shite. Our media turn every election into a gotcha game, making any adult talk of actual reform impossible. And in my 37 years on this planet and across the political spectrum, that’s been the case. It sucks, but media that runs advocacy campaigns is a big part of why this happens.

I work with James regularly - he listens, collaborates, proactively hunts for new solutions/ideas and is all round delightful and pleasant to work with 😍

Exploiting the basic human right of shelter to the tune of 400% is not “earned wealth”.

The case studies hey

The Oz managed to find a bloke on Struggle Street willing to stand in front of his Porsche and complain about being hard done by. Actual quote: "as he approaches his 80th year, Mr Conkey is contemplating adding another investment property to his portfolio.”

Don't assume that I don't know how to read merely because I've massively misinterpreted what you wrote. I actually understood it perfectly, I'm just also annoying

we worked very hard to get over a dozen Labor MPs to break ranks in the lead up to the 2023 budget, but since then have heard from MPs that they're not allowed to bring it up anymore

“If working hard isn’t enough to buy you a stable roof over your head, what next?” writes Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Institute. Read the full article ⬇️ https://theaus.in/4twfeOb

No one in govt is talking about before the budget, but just FYI, the level of Jobseeker is now 42% below the poverty line - worse than it was during the Howard years... live.thepoint.com.au

Like, there are other electric vehicles so why go to all this trouble ?!

call me controversial and finicky, but if I buy a car, I don't think it reasonable that I have to learn how to "hack" it so it doesn't kill my family But that might just be me. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Nice analysis of the climate costs of Chrome pushing a 4GB Geminin nano to people's devices. Even just looking purely at the download (ignoring inference, re-downloads etc) it's substantial (not sure it's 'insane'), and shows the Google is just kinda doing stuff pretty thoughtlessly

Mico, the Fijian island cat. Lives a tough life.

It took a year for that shitty “research” about the benefits of ChatGPT in education to get retracted. A whole year of giving tech bros social license to exploit school and education environments. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/i...

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Latest example of the documented result of what happens when supposed ‘centre left’ parties go to the right to try and appease conservatives rather than stand for something different - voters go even further rather than stick with the imitators

If you earned the 2025 US median wage of around $63k pa, it would take you around 15,770 years to earn $1 billion www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Sorry ABC - 8m are not on "income support". My fact check for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Take me back 🥹

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I arrived to the opposite in Melbourne

Champagne on a sandbank 😍

This was my life for the last week in Fiji and I would like to go back to it please 🥹

The Vornado Realty CEO said the slogan "tax the rich" is as hateful as racial slurs. TAX THE RICH!

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

"government-mandated transfer of wealth" Yes Meta you dumbasses that’s what taxes are. That’s why they exist.

Fiji!

This story is absolutely ridiculous. Claude didn’t just delete everything, it was operating in an environment of entitlements it was granted by the yutzes who put it in charge. You deserve everything you get for taking the human out of the loop www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

Reminder: Elon Musk is worth nearly $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

FISH COP: do you know why I pulled you under

Having lost one grandmother to a medicine dosage miscalculation, uhhhhhhhh. Fuck no.

aside from that, it also treats any pause as a full moratorium. like, it would be sooooo ridiculous to hit the brakes for a bit to figure out the "democratic governance" that the author is ostensibly advocating.

but let's assume it is! in which case, this article overlooks the fact that these are profit seeking companies and that's going to happen anyway! they are working on what they hope is the uber model which is to price their product so low everyone becomes dependent and then jack up prices

this assumes ai is an unqualified Good & moratoriums will create social inequities because if companies have to spend more to build data centers Somewhere Else because Somewhere said no, they will price their products out of reach of the poor i disagree because i don't think ai is necessarily Good—
