Demanding accountability of Blak parents for the crimes/indiscretions of their children’s but refusing to acknowledge white privilege is my favourite genre of Facebook comments.

Why aren’t flight boarding groups called groups called in order? Hearing the groups called out is like a mechanic explaining the firing order of cylinders.

Travelling around the top end and you hear so many people referring to First Nations People as ‘they’ or ‘them’ like it cleverly disguises the racism being spewed.

Speaking of cars, I am in fact willing to meet drivers "in the middle", so to speak.
For example, let driver licenses stay valid longer. Like, ten years, same as a passport.
But
The road test is a condition of renewal. I mean, if you're a responsible driver it should get easier every time, right?

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Indeed. Not only do we have the world’s richest 8-year-old thinking that insulting (“roasting”) people at parties with “forbidden words” is the height of hilarity, it’s that this shit podcast happens four times a week for 2.5 to 3 hours, and it’s (one of?) the most listened-to podcast in the world.

So, musk says AI will make work "optional" and money "irrelevant".
If he really believes money will be "irrelevant", then why does he need so much?

one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system

‘Pry open the jaws of Treasury’ to fund CSIRO amid hundreds of job losses, Labor MP Ed Husic tells own party
Husic, who oversaw CSIRO cuts as the former science minister, said some in government see scientific agency funding as a ‘cost’ not an ‘investment’
Ed Husic has challenged his own government to “pry open the jaws of Treasury” to boost funding for Australia’s national scientific agency after it announced up to 350 research jobs would be cut to deal with an imminent budgetary cliff.
