I saw him do a (very) extended water tank solo for The Power and the Passion in about 1990. Bloody magical.

The real benefit to business of AI is clear: dissolving accountability. The business says they were let down by the AI. Not our fault. The AI provider blames the model, but guys, it's just this cute wacky guy. Who could get angry and/or litigious at a cute wacky guy?

You can stand with the people who are aggrieved by a system you're part of, who are grumpy at you because you're a generic part of that system, or you can side with your system because you don't like them being grumpy. Even though the system also oppresses you.

Points for quoting A Fish Called Wanda though. There are plenty of Otto characteristics on show; maybe the whole thing is actually an homage?

This certainly casts Coles's new partnership with Palantir on surveillance of shopping habits in a disturbing and accurate light. Oh you bought pears 200km from home last July? Can and will be used against you.
ICE is using a Palantir tool that uses Medicaid and other government data to stalk people for arrest, 404 Media reports. This is exactly the kind of data privacy abuse that EFF has been warning about.

Who'd have thought Vanilla Ice would turn out to be a prophet? The title of his seminal, semi-eponymous breakout hit is relevant in 2026 in a way that it never was before.

The ABC's gaslightling 'fact-check' article still uncritically supports ICE's claims about the extrajudicial murder in Minnesota, but hey, they changed the headline, so it's all good.
