Pretty cool how so many of these folks may have had a long successful career, and then just shredded how they'll be remembered down to "another Trump appeasing suckup"

Already?? It feels like they only took hot cross buns off the shelves a week ago

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

Media articles about how this crap will take your job and also be used to implement a poorly thought out penalty system. Boom market for clog vendors.

That's ok I'm sure they tested they work properly on first nations folks right.

'Outrageous mess': About 2,000 AI road safety camera fines withdrawn in WA About 2,000 fines valued at $1.1 million issued as a result of AI-assisted road safety cameras in WA have been withdrawn, six months after the devices were introduced.

I mean if you wanted to kill the social license of govts using "AI", "have some driving infringements, 96% of them are correct, you'll have to appeal the others, suck shit" sure is a great way to do that.

shame that way too many folks assume it's a taxpayer subsidised method of generational wealth transfer hey

Weird how we never hear things like "AUKUS is growing too fast for Australians to afford" or "negative gearing is growing too fast" or anything similar, huh

fUtUrE oF jOuRnaLiSm right here. Looks ace. Sorry kids, under Australian law we won't be able to run journalism during school dropoff and pickup times. But they won't have access to Tiktok so all good.

11GW? lol not even remotely serious.

I mean I guess you can't just sneer "young people today" as obviously as before.

Also is "here's a random selection of Tiktok videos" in line for a Walkley Award as "most boringly obvious trope of hack journalists" this year or what?

Norman Swan should stick to his expertise of judging competitive weight loss TV shows.

i'd also call your attention to how the guardian - ***nominally a liberal newspaper*** - frames this:

stonewall is struggling because it was 'uncompromising' on trans rights

not because the national media, guardian included, decided to hound a minority from public life

I mean the basic message of "why bother negotiating with folks when they constantly lie and break agreements" seems reasonable

I read Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and I will not forgive.

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Yeah and connect it to the internet down the cables that don't exist either.

So long as none of the Australian super funds are stupid enough to invest, and bloody Chalmers and Charlton have a staffer with an anti-spiv stun gun.

Absolute bullshit and won't happen, of course.

Lol I love when they do this shit and discover why open source projects of any meaningful size have a code of conduct &c

Also the corruption is built in from the start and just extremely obvious.

2003 and wants it's cheerleading for a stupid war in the middle east back. Mitchell just cut-n-pasting pieces from them with a brief search and replace.

Waaaow.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

An increase in social media economists and journalists angrily telling us we've never had it so good, with graphs

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
