Imagine being a CIO and seeing the size of this bubble and thinking “fuck yeah. I'm pumping a few million into this baby. Nothing will ever go wrong. Only seeing upsides here of an AI strategy”

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 18h

AI companies are seeing their stock prices inflate massively on the basis of hopes and dreams for their potential. But when the bubble bursts, the kind of services actually provided will be all that matters.

Will the AI bubble pop with a whimper? Or are we screwed?

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Greens polling smaller across all left breakdowns is really something. I don’t feel Labor commit at all to proper Left politics and see the Greens doing the important work here but they’re clearly not…

Kos Samaras on X has given us more details on the #Redbridge federal poll #auspol

This creates a demographic current that runs against the Coalition’s long-term viability unless it redefines what conservatism means to a younger generation.

The Ideological Compression

The second major shift is ideological. When asked how they see themselves politically, Australians now cluster heavily in the “Left” and “Moderate” categories. The “Right” has become smaller, older, and more fragmented.

Within this self-definition:
•Left voters break 80–20 Labor–Coalition (2PP)
•Moderates split 56–44 Labor’s way
•The Right is 70–30 Coalition, but it is shrinking.

The challenge is arithmetic as much as ideological. The moderate middle, once the decisive battleground of Australian politics, now tilts towards Labor. The Coalition’s reliance on its conservative flank keeps it electorally alive, but strategically paralysed.

Every attempt to modernise risks revolt from the populist Right (One Nation), which we can see here in this data but every concession to the populist Right drives younger, urban and female voters further away, which we can see here in this data.

Really makes you realise how world leaders treated Hitler before shit escalated in their backyards. Yes, they're justifying to themselves that they're looking after their country’s interests but FMD, aren't they the least bit concerned about open fascism?
