AI washing of layoffs is real. I was surprised to see a wave of headlines today saying Oracle shrank by 21,000 employees due to replacing them with AI. A few months ago, it was widely reported the layoffs were to pay for data centers theyâd committed to building for OpenAI but couldnât get loans.

âDr Huggins, who co-chaired the Queensland government's Path to Treaty panel before it was scrapped, said she viewed the Crisafulli government as comparable to the Joh Bjelke-Petersen regime. "They are eradicating, invisibilising us, and destroying our history and culture," Dr Huggins said.â

So how did it go for the agency? Swing an a miss. As per the decision: "media responses usually entail the production of vetted statements or general responses to questions, as distinct from documents that may contain the unvarnished and objective records". You love to see it. /10

I don't know how many of you have ever put in a media request, but they answer your enquiry, not your questions. They certainly don't give you the underlying documents. If you do ask, they direct you to FOI--usually because it takes forever. Here, for eg, is the answer EPA's parent dpt gave me: /9

But there's more! And this is my favourite bit. The agency said they charged because their scientists should be doing actual science, not sharing their science, there was already plenty of coverage about this event and I could have just asked for information through... a media request. /8

A long time ago, I asked the SA Environment Protection Authority for documents relating to the algal bloom under FOI. They charged me $1508.80. The SA Ombudsman just reduced that to $131.20. To celebrate my late-Friday refund, here's how I won this particular fight. /n

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. âđłď¸ââ§ď¸Îť
