They told me to leave my car at the pub and take the bus home which has proven to be a really dumb idea. I've caused WAY more damage crashing this bus than I ever would have in my car.

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

No matter how many times they are told not to do Skynet they keep doing Skynet.

"Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Girl’s School Bombing in Iran"

Yes, that's right, the US military is using AI to direct bomb strikes. Not even a smart AI, just Claude.

I really didn't think I would live long enough to see the world crumble into war and violence but I guess either I lived longer than expected or it all went to hell earlier.

Thank you

It won't do them any good if they lose the left wing vote and then lose the next election because they forget who voted for them.

It's time to end human society or if that's too much it's time to end the USA for this:

I swear to the gods ... people of Queensland have cooked brains

That's something I can't understand. The Labor party got their highest ever majority precisely because they were to the left of the increasingly cooked COALition. Logically they should have moved to the left where the voters are but they went right, towards the people we rejected.

Please admit it’s a silly name

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

The most courageous thing for universities to be doing right now is their job. Cancelling the appearance of a UN Special Rapporteur wildly conflicts with their purpose and their public responsibility.

This so much.

We were no overreacting, we could see more clearly.

Aren’t most crabs edible?

Hang on, what, the one on the left is the AI? That makes no sense because the "glow up" is a glow down, it made the photo not only artificial looking but also dull and boring. what the actual.

Lots of text from xitter of Sam Altman announcing the US Department of War is deploying OpenAI models in their classified networks.

No, no, no absolutely not. No.

Let me reiterate. Absolutely fucking not.

These technocrats really didn't read or watch and understand ANY sci-fi did they.

No War With Iran！

Writing isn't hard

But editing is

And editing is writing

So ... um ... writing is hard.

Tasmania's finances to 'rapidly deteriorate', Treasury warns Tasmania's Department of Treasury and Finance has issued a dire warning about the state's finances, and says there are no easy fixes.

Tasmania's State Government is broke and they are projected to lose money at a disturbing rate.

So why, why, why are they spending over a billion dollars, that's billion with a B, on a new sports stadium that so many people don't want?

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

LGBTQIA+ teens bashed and filmed in IS-inspired Sydney attacks An ABC investigation has obtained distressing videos and victims' accounts of IS sympathisers hunting and bashing gay and bisexual boys on camera in Sydney.

This is horrific and I want to know why there is no royal commission into anti-LGBTIQ attacks. I would guess the police dropped the ball on this like they have on all the other homophobia attacks and murders since history.

"Australia won't get the dirty AI money if we don't change our copyright laws"

Good. AI is a bubble anyway, we could lose our copyright protections for temporary "billions". Once copyright is gone it's gone, it won't return.

Yeah, I know. The Liberals are finding their own ways to destroy themselves.

Yeah. Saying a politician can't do something simply means they can be stopped by legal means as long as someone actually stops them.

Every stupid move from the Liberal party decreases the chance of them ever holding power again.

They will go the way of the Australian Democrats.

I'm rooting hard for @brisbanein28.bsky.social , because I want to combine Worldcon with a chance to view the total solar eclipse in Sydney the week before. If I can spare the vacation time, I'd also like to stop off for a tour of New Zealand that we missed out on in 2020.

Did you know that the United States is currently holding 3X as many people in immigrant detention as were held in Hitler's concentration camp system in 1939?

AND ICE IS BUILDING MORE DETENTION CENTERS

We're not reacting strongly enough.
