It definitely has multiple layers of bonkers.

I know it's TACO Tuesday, but seriously...

Ben Roberts-Smith expected to be charged with war crimes One of Australia's most decorated soldiers, Ben Roberts-Smith, is under arrest and expected to be charged with five counts of the war crime of murder.

May he get a fair trial, be found guilty, and get to spend a very long time reflecting on the nature of his wrongdoing. (Also, may his defence cost Kerry Stokes vast amounts of money.)

Crazy idea, but maybe that way to hold people to account isn’t through interviews. It was never the interview, it was consequences.

A statement on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association regarding James Hillier aka Nordacious and the QLD Government:

Ugh. But also lol; I was recently reading over the Carens vs Walzer disagreement on open borders that I used to help teach (in a now-cancelled subject, offered by a department that no longer exists.)

Still relevant in general but very specifically relevant to the screenshotted nonsense.

What a surprise: yet another Labor politician disappoints me for deeply stupid reasons.

James @GoodVibePolitik X.com A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don't have words. James @GoodVibePolitik•4h There's something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death. THE THE B

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

Has Mr Green called it?

I didn’t hear anything, but my neighbour’s dog is barking like crazy 😑

I have a joke about psychedelic assisted therapy, but the punchline isn’t significantly better than SSRIs.

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

I mean, *all* counsellors know (or should know) the risk of having client notes subpoenaed. But that this wasn’t conveyed to callers so they could give informed consent is inexcusable. Likewise, a lot of this could have been prevented by not recording calls.

Do not use 1800 RESPECT.

FOI reveals that “once a week, every week”, 1800 RESPECT is being subpoenaed, handing over confidential client notes and audio recordings of victim counselling sessions, to accused rapists and their legal teams.

So glad we booked a driving holiday for next month 🤦‍♂️

A missile has hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Wait, what?

a) this is going to be so fucking stupid, and
b) how long until more Australian personnel get involved in this abjectly unethical brainfart?

One of the many things that makes me tired.

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I did a quick test with it on the app; produces a refusal but no longer kills the whole chat.

Aww, has it stopped working again?

“Net zero trauma” is still a devastatingly stupid turn of phrase.

It’s interesting as I’m clearly better at some colours than others.

How ever could we have predicted this? If only someone had mentioned that this was a risk 😒.

As someone with a PhD in philosophy & who studied the hard problem of consciousness, can I just say I’m so f*cking tired.
