Don’t look back in anger - The Shot
I’m angry. We’re all angry. Perhaps that’s part of the problem. At the moment, we’re angry at two twisted individuals...

Fuck, I hate AI.
And all those pushing it can get fucked too.
And while I'm at it, billionaires, politicians that suck up to said billionaires and any other sex pest, y'all can get fucked as well.

Oh, look, more AI designed to take advantage of sad, lonely people.
This is what generative AI is all about folks, taking vulnerable people for all they're worth, while offering norhing but a poor substitute for the thing they are pretending to sell.
Its all a grift.

One of my favourites on here disappeared recently. Their whole account here just vanished.
Which has me thinking about some of the others that have disappeared in the last few months.
Where do they go? Do they just erase their online presence? Or do they go back to the other place?
Mystifying.

With all the Metro Tunnel opening hype yesterday, I never got to have a decent look at Arden Station.
Ironically as it was the first station to be complete, but hey, I made it quite clear to myself, I wasn't going to look at any of these stations until they were in service, so today, I am at Arden.

More Metro Tunnel goodness, the new Town Hall Station is very big and well suited to large crowds.
I might not be sold on the mimes, but the stations themselves are quite impressive, even if Town Hall isn't yet fully complete.

I caught the first train through the Melbourne Metro Tunnel today.
Massive crowds of very excited rail fans, train nerds & infrastructure geeks, mixed in with police, politicians, media & rail staff, all making history together.
This tells me 1 unavoidable, irrefutable truth:
Trains are good.

Melbourne's new Parkville station is partially open for viewing. Trains start running from this Sunday.
In short, it's very impressive.

Anyone out there that thinks driverless cars are the future are being duped.
These things will not solve traffic issues. They will only make it worse.
The only way to do that is a mix of improved public transport (trains, trams & buses) & active transport (walk or cycle).
Anything else is a con.

Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

We were all lied to as children.

I only need to see it happen once, and I'd be somewhat satisfied.

Every federal government since John Howard's is equally guilty of letting this happen.
The tax money that has been lost, the debt we owe as a nation, the lack of public services that could have been, all so a very small number of people can make billions of dollars off our resources.
What a sham.

Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia.
