"Publicly-owned essential services, when we had them, maximised quality and affordability. Today, for-profit corporations maximise profit, drive up prices and cut back on quality. To understand its devastating impacts, look no further than electricity and childcare."
I'd add aged care too.
"What should be on the agenda is nationalising essential services – bringing them back under public control and out of the hands of profit-hungry corporations. And we should start with electricity and childcare."

Now is the time to talk about nationalising essential services – Max Chandler-Mather

Having the sum of human creative output called “ai training data” is frying me
Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

This is going to be an absolute disaster. It is colossally stupid, unethical in the extreme, and it’s going to ruin lives.
EXCLUSIVE: Funding and support plans for national disability insurance scheme participants will be generated by a computer program and staff will have no discretion to amend them, under a major overhaul of the NDIS to be rolled out next year, @australia.theguardian.com can reveal.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Very comprehensive article on the SA algal bloom. A frightening read. Inaction by our governments, insufficient funding to research and failure to acknowledge the impact of global warming on these sort of events.

The fatal shore
The search for a scientific explanation for South Australia’s unprecedented algal bloom – which decimated marine life, perhaps irreparably – is being frustrated by a political desire for easy answers
