Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

🚨 NEW: 'Don't know' is the preferred Liberal Party leader in the latest Newspoll, followed by Sussan Ley and Andrew Hastie

If you are a parent just imagine your children being abused and tortured like this. Israel is a sick and evil society which constantly gets away with the most horrendous atrocities. #FreePalestine #EndIsrseliGenocide #IsraelTerroristState #BDS palestinewillbefree.substack.com/p/palestinia...

Me ... after I impress the boss with my excellent graph (he loves a good graph). Australasian Swamphen, Mount Gambier. (And someone will tell now me what these are called in NZ. I don't know why people do this but they always do.)

every year someone does a study that’s like “we gave 100 homeless ppl money and their lives improved” and every year the government kills that guy

Once again, @lectrr.bsky.social nails it: "Donetsk is negotiable... But Europe thinks Russia should recede Washington..."

What could possibly go wrong

The news has been coming so fast, I did another later which might not otherwise see the light.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Still looking for a buyer here.

Damn that is probably the worst first day of a Test series I've ever watched what the hell was that

I very much enjoyed seeing this with a friend today. Some brilliant photos. I usually enter this comp each year. And I had the honour of being shortlisted once.

I remember a time, a long, long time ago now, when I used to go entire seconds without hearing something about the President of the United States of America.

Why is Austen Tayshus wearing a wiggles skivvy?

Disfigured by 200,000 tons of American bombs, the mountain of rubble called Gaza represents the open casket of Emmett Till, whose funeral forced the world to behold the ugly, violent truth of America’s failure to protect a people suffering racism, colonial violence, torture & murder for centuries. 2

An Australian, tasked with explaining this to people from another country: "Yeah, nah. Can't."

This is the most Australian thing I have seen all week and it's a mood

Imagine being so awful that you were to awful for the Liberal Party.

I just got off the phone with the production coordinator. As I said to them, success is lots of people getting angry. And maybe some law suits

Another Liberal party leader spill. It’s comical watching them flail around at both federal and state level. What a pathetic rabble conservatives are in this country. #libspill

The killing season #libspill

Under the legal doctrine of ‘universal jurisdiction’, any country can prosecute allegations of war crimes, regardless of the nationality of the perpetrator or victims.

Dave Rowe golden bone saw.. Financial Review

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the opposition’s new energy policy is just like the 6-7 meme, describing it as meaningless “6-7, 6-7, it’s a big thing. 6-7, what does it mean? It means nothing, a bit like the pamphlet they’ve put out.”

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

When editors decide someone is too left, they pick unflattering photos.

Who would think that at this point in Australia’s economic transition we should be spending more, not less, on research and development… Imagine if we taxed the gas industry and pant more on R&D…crazy talk … #cliamte thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

On our ABC News site today Karvelas wrote about the Victorian Liberal leadership without mentioning Jess Wilson worked for Josh Frydenberg and has IPA connections. The article was called “analysis”. So many alleged journalists appear to be deliberately ignorant of the true nature of the Liberals.

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

Quite possibly the biggest “yeah, nah” in the history of “yeah, nah”

" charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death, unlicensed driving, and driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. "

Why can't they just analyse their data? Why is any computation or statistics called AI now?

A man in Australia is challenging a state's ban on Vegemite in prisons, claiming that denying him the polarizing spread violates his human rights.

The Liberal Party is full of MPs who would better serve the party by leaving it.

So many layers of brilliant… #auspol
