there's a whole genre of YouTubes of ai's saying stupid things, and my 12-year-old cannot get enough of it

“If instead you get an answer from a chatbot, even if it is correct, you lose the opportunity for that growth in information literacy.”

Sorry, I am already a member of a radical.left party, which, under its new leader, is gaining members at a rate of knots. I wish Your Party (or whatever it becomes) well, but I would urge people to #JoinTheGreenParty

Quite, isn’t @zackpolanski.bsky.social so good.

Pop science. My @smh @theage cartoon.

“A lot of what you’re seeing in the United States must seem familiar to you, even though you’ve come nowhere close to what we’ve seen in the last few months; but the ideological preconditions are certainly familiar to you.”

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

“(…) what gets repeatedly ignored is this fundamental paradox: GenAI’s architecture absolutely depends on consciously taken actions that would stand in violation of any of our institutions’ academic-integrity policies.” @thetattooedprof.bsky.social www.chronicle.com/article/some... 2/n

“That’s AI”

Well there you go the earth moved for this morning.

“I can’t tell you exactly how I know but after sixty years in and around politics I’ve developed a sixth sense, and my sixth sense tells me the tide is now turning on Trump.”

Not sure if this has already been brought up but the "controversial" @anntelnaes.bsky.social cartoon that the Washington Post refused to publish back in the day has proven to be more than accurate after the whole Jimmy Kimmel thing. Just saying.

“Derailment risk describes a scenario where societies are too occupied with the consequences of environmental change — such as climate change and nature loss — to adequately address their causes.”

“In a strongly worded judgment the court found the broadcaster had “abjectly surrendered” to pro-Israel lobbyists and “let down the Australian public badly”.”

Article in the Launceston Examiner (Tasmania / lutruwita) about the recognition of Palestinian statehood by Australia & the Launceston Solidarity Flotilla event from the weekend. 🍉🇵🇸👇 #globalsumudflotilla #SanctionIsrael #freepalestine #ArmsEmbargoIsrael

This can’t be real. Only AI could do Trump like this. And surely only AI could display Albanese with such little dignity or self worth….

Gummint that built two ferries that are too big to dock promises it is the best organisation to build an unnecessary, expensive roofed stadium in the wrong spot. Building a stadium that is too big for its proposed position is totally on-brand.

Yesterday for the 3rd time in 3 years, Leg Co supported my motion calling for reform of the current ministerial diaries disclosure system. We need genuine reform to strengthen our ministerial diaries disclosure system, it’s time for Rockliff government to respect the Parliament and act. #politas

Thank you. Yes this 👇Why is the media on the side of destruction.

It's not just what oligarchy looks like... it's what oligarchy *is*.

#politas are you taking note of these policies?

A Goebells, Miller comparison. How come I am thinking ChatGPT was involved here? “Write me a #Kirk eulogy like Goebells, 1932, but way better. You know, ham it up some more”. #Trump #fascism

“The Right is always canny in the way it markets its goals. To sell what amounts to neofeudalism as “freedom” takes some serious cheek.”

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Repost far and wide to counter the US Government narrative.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

Should be a senate inquiry into why. Australia's ABC showed a memorial service for an American right wing extremist.

Zack Polanski’s first weeks have shifted the Green Party’s centre of gravity. Polanski has rebranded the Green Party....to the centre of left-wing organising, and now the best-placed vehicle to face Reform UK." faultline.media/zack-polansk...

Spot on. Seedlings of tomatoes, sugar snap peas, basil, eggplant, capsicum, lettuce and rocket ready to be planted. Potatoes, broad beans and cauliflower producing nicely.

Well worth reading.

“Legitimacy is now conferred on those who master resonance, immediacy, emotional connection, and authenticity.”

The only thing determining whether it tells you 2+2=4, pizzas are better with glue on them, or how to steam-clean your scrotum, is statistical probability.

Between @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and @zackpolanski.bsky.social the UK political scene is looking brighter than it has for a long time.

Absolutely right.

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

I reckon it is.
