I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

We are going Super Social Justice Blue Hair and Pronouns. We are calling things "gay" and "queer" as compliments and honorifics. We are proudly being buzzkills and harpies and feminine and vegan and giving a sincere fucking shit about the environment and climate and well-being of the community.

Pro tip - if anyone starts proffering ‘simple’ blanket solutions to housing affordability in Australia - close the browser window and repeat the words ‘build public housing’ 5 times between deep exhales. Absolute muppets…
Simple city zoning change could lower rents, house prices, report finds
Rents and house prices would be 12 per cent lower than otherwise within a decade if all capital cities are rezoned to allow three-storey buildings, a report finds.

I think a lot of people have been noticing this over the past couple years but courage and conviction wins people over. Drawing lines and plotting indifference curves to figure out what you believe in turns them off

A very solid, evidence-informed speech against the Albanese government's cynical push to rush through Labor's deeply inadequate, integrity-challenged EPBC package

NSW parliamentary enquiry revelations. Police could be excused for mistaking ambiguous criminal episodes for antisemitic attacks but the examples listed in this summary of the evidence are malicious. Racist disdain? Systemic prep to crush rising protests that will accompany climate catastrophes?

Talking point tips for progressive politicians in Australia #auspol
The interviewer asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social if he's worried about splitting the left vote & whether the best way to beat the right is to vote Labour.

Zack: "The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent"
